kedarkantha trek

overview:

Kedarkantha does not require justification; it must be experienced. Kedarkantha becomes a fantastic Himalayan experience with us. Kedarkantha is situated in Uttarakhand's Uttarkashi district. Under Govind Wildlife Sanctuary, it is included. Sankri hamlet serves as the trek's base camp. 200 kilometers separate Dehradoon and Sankri. The short and simple climb to the Kedarkantha summit is made possible by the surrounding rural villages, snow-capped mountain ranges, and rich flora and fauna of the national park. Snow sports, as well as summer and winter treks, are popular in Kedarkantha. Views of the Western Garwhal Himalayas are magnificent. The peak offers a view of roughly 15 peaks, including Swargarohini, Kalanag, and Yamdwar Glacier. The range for camping elevation is 1900 to 3800 meters. This walk becomes traditional and thrilling in the snow.
