Kedarkantha Trek

About Kedarkantha Trek

Kedarkantha is a trek blushing with beauty, giving photographers a perfect opportunity to capture the snow falling from the pine trees that looks like magic dust. The ‘I rule the world’ pose at the top of Kedarkantha trek Summit will make a wonderful profile pic and with stunning views in the backdrop, it will make your friends jealous too! Experience the lovely campsites, where every site is unique in its own way and does not match the beauty with any other campsites in the journey.

Get a chance to camp around frozen Juda ka Talab where was once a place for meditation of Lord Shiva. Experience walking in the middle of the night in, the head torches lighting the way and watching the sunrise from the top of a mountain before you reach Summit.

Kedarkantha trek is such a popular winter trek that it would be apt to entitle it as the Queen of Winter Treks. Knee-deep snow in winters, mesmerizing view from the top, and the beautiful and easy trails make it popular among trekkers. The ‘easy on endurance’ trail goes through the thick pine forests of Govind National Park. The views from the top are worth climbing to an altitude of 12,500 ft. Kedarkantha trek will give you an inimitable view of the cosmic sky, lush meadows, snow paths, charming villages, scented pine forest, sky-knocking peaks, tranquil rivers, and some mythological story whispers.
