One has to change transport at Sonprayag as other vehicles are not allowed beyond that. One has to cross bridge over Mandakini by foot and avail Maxx cars (Rs20/person)(price not fixed) to reach Gourikund. The motorable road is till Gourikund only. Then there are three options.

1.Walk 16kms trek to reach Kedarnath baba. The way is difficult before starting trek you can purchase stick it's very helpful 

2. book horse ride too. The government approved rate is Rs. 1800/person for upward journey and Rs. 1100/person for downward journey. The horse has tendency to go towards the valley side. Ask your horseman to hold the rope tightly. Horsemen sometimes let that go for various reasons.

3. One can book dolee too. Thats going on another persons shoulder/head.

From my personal experience I would say avoid duli as its very painful for the person who takes you.Walking is best if you are fit. Horse is for those cant walk.

There are helicopter service providers as well, both government and private. Helipads are there at Phata,Sersi etc.

But one will miss the scenic beauty if one rides the helicopter. The natural beauty on the way is breathtaking and one is very unlucky to miss it.
