The Kedarkantha trek is one of the famous treks in Uttarakhand, known for its stunning views, serene landscapes, and accessibility to trekkers of all experience levels. Located in the Govind Pashu Vihar National Park, this trek offers an unforgettable experience with its snow-capped peaks, dense forests, and picturesque meadows. Rising to an altitude of 12,500 feet, Kedarkantha is particularly famous for its winter beauty, when the region transforms into a snow-covered paradise.
The trek starts from Sankri, a small village that serves as the base camp. From there, trekkers pass through enchanting pine forests, picturesque campsites, and beautiful meadows. The journey takes you to stunning locations like Juda Ka Talab, a frozen lake surrounded by towering trees, and the Kedarkantha Base Camp, where trekkers can rest before making the final ascent to the summit. On summit day, trekkers are rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of Himalayan giants like Swargarohini, Bandarpoonch, and Black Peak.
