About The Trek
Kedarkantha Trek
Kedarkantha Trek is one of the most popular beginner-friendly Himalayan treks in Uttarakhand, offering a perfect combination of snow-covered trails, dense pine forests, peaceful campsites and breathtaking mountain views.
Starting from the beautiful village of Sankri, the trek takes you through the scenic landscapes of Govind Wildlife Sanctuary. As you climb higher, the forest gradually opens into wide snow-covered meadows, providing spectacular views of the surrounding Himalayan peaks.
The highlight of the trek is the Kedarkantha Summit at around 12,500 ft, where trekkers are rewarded with panoramic views of the snow-clad Himalayan ranges. The summit climb is particularly beautiful during winter when the entire trail is covered in snow.
Whether you are planning your first Himalayan adventure or looking for a memorable weekend escape into the mountains, Kedarkantha is an excellent choice.
Taxes and additional charges may apply.
