Overview

Kedarkantha Trek – The Jewel of the Himalayas

Nestled in the Govind Wildlife Sanctuary of Uttarkashi, Uttarakhand, Kedarkantha is one of the most sought-after winter treks in India. Towering at an altitude of 12,500 ft, this majestic peak offers breathtaking panoramic views of snow-capped mountains, including Swargarohini, Bandarpoonch, and Black Peak.

This trek is perfect for beginners and seasoned trekkers alike. The journey takes you through enchanting pine forests, picturesque meadows, frozen lakes, and charming villages. In winter, the trail is blanketed in snow, making it a dreamy white paradise.
