Kedarkantha Trek 5N/6D Overview

The Kedarkantha Peak is one of India's most popular snow trekking sites, adorned with the exquisite beauty of falling snow and rimmed with pine trees. It's a mesmerizing visual image with falling winter snow, and what's more appealing is the view of the mighty Himalayas from the pathways all the way to the top. Nestled at a height of 3810 meters (12,500 feet), this is a wonderful trekking trail that covers a total distance of 20 kilometers. The space is short, and the hiking track is not tough, allowing even first-time trekkers to embark on an adventure and enjoy nature's splendor at its best.

With beautiful and captivating views of the snow-clad Himalayas, luxuriant foliage, lush landscapes, a plethora of flora, frozen ponds, and the vistas of spellbinding peaks, this walk has all the lovely marvels that a trekker wishes to experience and witness on his journey. The Kedarkantha Trek is a wonderful place for adventure seekers and trekkers to enjoy thrilling challenges and for nature lovers to bask in the beauty of undisturbed nature and enjoy delightful and joyful moments with exhilarating experiences.

The Kedarkantha Trek, located in Western Garhwal's Uttarkashi district, is well-known for being one of the country's easiest treks, suitable for both expert and inexperienced trekkers. However, physical fitness is essential, with the ability to jog at least 4 kilometers in 30 minutes before committing to the trekking excursion. As altitude increases, the air becomes thinner, and people must also wear backpacks, which can be challenging without good physical fitness. Trekking in Uttarakhand is always a delight because of its breathtaking beauty and panoramic natural vistas that are unrivaled in the country. But, of all the fascinating locations and exhilarating trekking sites available, the snow treks of Kedarkantha are the ones that inspire every trekker the most. In fact, there are numerous reasons why it is such a fantastic walk that it is so popular among adventurous visitors. The first reason is that snow is available until the end of April, making it one of the top winter trip destinations in the world. What's more, at a height of only 10,000 feet, one can see the beautiful snow falling at the base of the pine trees.

Kedarkantha Trek 5N/6D Reviews

A

Aarav Mehta

A trek with beautiful views

The Kedarkantha trek is known for its beautiful views of the snow-capped mountains. I fell in love with the nature and peace the trek had to offer. I will certainly book another trek with BanBanjara next year, as they organized everything perfectly.

K

Kavya Sharma

A memorable experience with watching snowfall

I loved the trek to Kedarkantha, especially because the snowfall starts early and the feeling of trekking as the snow falls is simply mind-blowing. You also get the opportunity to ski at this trek, an experience you will remember for years.

V

Vihaan Nair

An adventurous off-beat trek

My friends booked this off-beat trek with Banbanjara, and it was a beautiful experience. Since it is an off-beat trek, the group was small and our guide was superb, keeping us not just safe but entertained. Trekking amidst the snow is certainly a thrill you should go for.

R

Riya Kapoor

Head here if you love Narnia

No, seriously, if you loved the snowy feel in the Narnia movie, this trek is ideal for you to head to in winters. The trek is ideal for beginners, so even if you do not have much trekking experience, head here to enjoy the white mountains and forests. Just book with a reputable agency like I did with BanBanjara.

It was my birthday present, and I loved it

My friends gave me this trek as my birthday present, and I was apprehensive at first, but the trek was so good. The guide and the travel company who arranged were impressive and ensured the trek went super smooth. The experience of trekking in the snow-capped mountains with impressive views is an unmatched experience.

Anika Deshmukh

A beautiful but challenging experience

We went on this trek during peak snowfall time. During that time, trekking was a bit challenging, but our guide ensured we made it safely to the peak. The views from the summit were mind-blowing, and the little shrines of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati were superb.

I

Ishaan Patel

A great experience in the Himalayas

For anyone looking for a simple but exhilarating Himalayan trek, the Kedarkantha trek is perfect. It is known for being a beautiful but easy trek, so beginners with a good fitness level can easily trek here. Our guides were quite helpful, making the trek an impressive adventure to undertake.

S

Saanvi Reddy

Basic fitness is necessary

Though this trek is easy, you still need to have a basic fitness level to trek up the Kedarkantha peak. Also, the weather is cold, so pack accordingly. We booked the trek with BanBanjara, and they were great at informing us all about what would be needed or not for the trek.

Dhruv Bansal

The trek exposes you to nature at its best

Kedarkantha Trek exposes you to different shades of nature. This amazing foot makes this trek an attraction you cannot miss. So, ensure you book this trek soon, like I am doing for a second time, and have the greatest time of your life.

Meera Iyer

The sunrise was so beautiful

The main attraction apart from the snowy mountains was the sun rising from the mountains for me. I love watching sunrises, and this was a beautiful experience all together.
