The Kedarkantha trek is your best option if you’re looking to go trekking in India during the winter. Kedarkantha trek is a fantastic journey in virgin snow from December to March, with lovely campsites and remarkably vast clearings in the trees. One of the most popular snow trekking locations in India is the Kedarkantha Peak. Winter snow falling makes for a stunning photographic scene, but what’s even more beautiful is the view of the Mighty Himalayas from the pathways all the way to the summit. An ideal walking track, which spans a total of 20 kilometres and is located at a height of 3810 metres (12,500 feet), may be found here. Even first-time trekkers may go on the trekking journey and take the nature’s beauty at its finest due to the short distance and moderate difficulty of the walking track. This route contains every lovely wonder that a hiker might want to see and experience. The Kedarkantha trek is a great place for nature lovers to take in the beauty of unspoiled nature, enjoy lovely and blissful moments with thrilling experiences, and not just for adventure seekers and trekkers to enjoy thrilling difficulties.
Pickup from Dehradun in the morning for a 240 km (10 hours) lengthy but beautiful trip to Sankri through Mussoorie, Barkot, Purola, Mori, and Netwar along the Tons River. Located in the Uttarkashi district, on the slopes of the Himalayas, lies the peaceful village- Sankri. In addition to several other well-known treks, like the Kedarkantha Trek, Har ki Dun, Rupin Pass, Bali Pass, and countless more, this modest community serves as the base camp for these renowned treks. At an elevation of 6,400 feet above sea level, this community is situated within the Govind wildlife sanctuary. It is an ideal spot for those seeking a serene mountain vacation or those who are adventurous. This location has a breathtaking view of the Himalayas and a wealth of cultural heritage, thanks to its wooden construction. Spend the night in Sankri and have dinner there.
After our morning workout, we will eat breakfast and go out for our first camp at Juda Ka Talab at 8 AM. Today, you’ll trek a total of 5 kilometres. One will witness several shepherd houses in wide-open meadows along this walk, all of which are beautiful to view. In a lovely pine forest approximately ten minutes’ walk from the settlement, the route begins. The route is broad, and one can hear streams running throughout, but they might not be seen until much farther down. We’ll set our tent next to the tiny pond, which is flanked by pine and oak trees. From the Juda Ka Talab camping, one may enjoy stunning views of snow-covered mountains. Also, today you will get your all three time of meals.
Wake up early morning to view the snow-covered peaks’ golden light. Start your journey to the base of Kedarkantha Peak after breakfast; it will take you upto 4 hours to get there. The trek resumes through pine and oak tree-only deep forests, high ridges, and even denser terrain. One may take in the breathtaking vistas of an arc-shaped range of snow-covered mountains just before arriving at the Kedarkantha Base. Take a delicious meal and see the nature’s beauty. You can see Kedarkantha plainly from your campground since the snow-covered mountain peaks sparkle as brilliantly as the moon at night. Spend the night in the tent.
The trek to the top of Kedarkantha mountain is long today. The day starts early with a hearty breakfast and taking in the wonderful, pristine, and divine dawn from the Kedarkantha meadows. You may occasionally find yourself standing in knee-deep snow. You’ll see a spectacular display of colours in the sky as the sun rises, and the transition will leave you awestruck. At the summit, one may unwind for a while while taking in the enchanted beauty of nature. We hike back to the camping spot in Hargaon after spending some quality time at the top.
From Hargaon, follow the stone route to Sankri. Trek downward through dense stands of Pine and Maple trees. Transfer to Dehradun once reached in Sankri. This is the last day of the trek.
