New Delhi, Oct 19 (IBNS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to visit Kedarnath, one of the holy Dhams of the Himalayas, on Friday, according to media reports.

This will be his second visit to Kedarnath in the same season.

PM Modi is scheduled to lay the foundation stone for a new Kedarpuri as well as lay the foundation stone for the reconstruction of the 'samadhi sthal of Shankaracharya, according to media reports.

Kedarnath was devastated by a flash flood and landslides in 2013.

Usually, the four dhams of the Himalayas -- Badrinath, Kedarnath, Yamunotri and Gangotri -- close for the winter season soon after Diwali. This year Kedarnath is scheduled to close its doors on Oct 21.

Prime Minister Modi reached the summer capital of Jammu and Kashmir on Thursday, to celebrate Diwali festival with the Indian troops, media reports said.
