Prime Minister Narendra Modi will undertake a two-day visit to Uttarakhand beginning May 18 to pay obeisance at the Himalayan shrines of Kedarnath and Badrinath.

"Modi will visit Kedarnath on May 18 and offer prayers at Badrinath the following day", Pradesh BJP media in charge Devendra Bhasin said.
