You might want to leave Kedarnath early on day one so you can hit the sunrise at Madhyamaheshwar before the afternoon traffic climbs. From Madhyamaheshwar the drive to Tungnath is only about 30 km and takes roughly an hour, so you can reach the shrine by mid morning and still have plenty of daylight for the Chopta trek. A short 25 km drive from Tungnath to Chopta takes about 45 minutes, giving you an easy return to Ukhimath before dark. Sticking with Regenta Resort Madhuganga Ukhimath keeps you close to the main gate and the road, which is handy for those early morning starts.
