What is the best season for Tirunelveli residents to visit Char Dham?

May–June (summer holidays) or October (after the Himalayan monsoon, before Tirunelveli's northeast monsoon). Tirunelveli's intense summer heat makes the cool Kedarnath very welcoming in May.

Can we combine Kasi Viswanathar temple (Tirunelveli) with Kedarnath?

Kasi Viswanathar temple in Tirunelveli mirrors the Varanasi Kashi Vishwanath tradition. Many Tirunelveli devotees complete their local Shiva darshan, then travel to Kedarnath (another Jyotirlinga) as the Himalayan extension of their Shiva devotion.
