Kedarkantha Trek

We will have breakfast following the morning exercise and proceed to our first camp, Juda ka Talab early morning. Take a walk of kilometres today. There are many shepherd houses in open meadows along the walk, which are as lovely to see. Enjoy a 10-minute walk from the village, the hike starts in a beautiful pine forest. The sound of running streams can be heard along the wide trail, but they may not be seen for a long time. Head to our tent beside the small pond, which is surrounded by oak and pine trees. Juda ka Talab campsite provides breathtaking scenery of snow-clad peaks.

To witness the golden glow of snow-capped peaks, wake up early in the morning. After breakfast, start the trek to the base camp of Kedarkantha Peak, approximately 4 hours to reach. Before reaching Kedarkantha Base, with the breathtaking view of an arc-shaped series of snow-clapped mountains. The journey begins by walking through dense pine and oak forests and ascending a steep ridge. Enjoy a hot lunch as one explores the surrounding area. You can see Kedarkantha clearly from your campsite at night when the snow-clad top peaks shine as bright as the moon.

The day begins early with a healthy breakfast and enjoying the spectacular, clean and lovely dawn from the Kedarkantha meadows before the challenging hike to the summit of Kedarkantha Peak. You can be sometimes in waist-deep snow. The sky will drastically change once the sun comes up, and you will stand there awestruck at the change. At the summit, you will get to relax a bit and appreciate the stunning views. We walk back to the Hargaon/Juda ka Talab camping site after taking some time on the summit, and while returning, we observe the snow slides.

Descend from Hargaon or Juda ka Talab to Sankri on the stone-lined track. Walk along the dense forests of pine and maple, at times getting glimpses of the beautiful Har ki Dhun Valley. From Sankri, return to Dehradun in a car.
