Description
Kedarkantha is a trendsetter as well as one of India's most popular and greatest winter treks. It not only offers an unrivaled view of the cosmos, lush meadows, snow trails, attractive villages, aromatic pine forest, sky-scraping peaks, and quiet rivers, but it also whispers a mythological story along the way.
Kedarkantha Trekking is considerably more than it appears in images on your computer screen. Not to be confused with the divine trek to Kedarnath, the Kedarkantha trek is a completely different trek. You will journey alongside the peak views of Swargarohini, Kalanag, Bandarpunch, and Draupadi ka Danda, throughout your Kedarkantha trek.
Pitch your tents beside the frozen Juda Ka Talab. According to legend, the lake was created when a drop of Ganga fell here when Lord Shiva opened his dreadlock. Enjoy a fun night of bonfire and stargazing followed by a warm and cozy sleep in your sanitized dual shared tent. Wake up in your spacious tents and head out to the Kedarkantha Base Camp with your designated hiking kits.
