When to Go:
Kedarkantha: First snow, great for people who want to be in the snow.
Brahmatal: Not much snow; might not give the wish for a snowy path.
Both hikes get snow; either one could be picked.
Kedarkantha: Heavy snow can be hard; it's better for Brahmatal.
Brahmatal: Best choice in tough late-winter weather.
Kedarkantha: Remaining snow, perfect for spring hiking.
No clear winner; both paths become green in summer.
