Overview Kedarkantha Trek

Kedarkantha is often regarded as the Queen of Winter Treks due to its immense popularity among trekkers. With knee-deep snow in winters, stunning views from the summit, and well-maintained trails, it's no wonder why this trek is so beloved. The route is relatively easy on endurance and takes you through the thick pine forests of Govind National Park. Reaching an altitude of 12,500 ft, the views from the top are truly breathtaking.

The Kedarkantha trek offers a unique experience that encompasses the wonders of nature, including the vast cosmic sky, lush meadows, snow-laden paths, quaint villages, fragrant pine forests, towering peaks that seem to touch the sky, serene rivers, and even some whispers of mythological stories.
