Kedarkantha Trek with Rishikesh Overview

Kedarkantha is not just a trendsetter, but also one of India's most popular and best winter treks. This is due to a variety of factors. Its popularity stems from the views, topography, flora, and animals, as well as the ease with which it may be completed. The name Kedarkantha is a combination of the terms Kedar and Kantha, which means "Throat of Lord Shiva." This journey is intertwined with a plethora of fascinating mythical stories. Kedarkantha should not be confused with Kedarnath, as the two are quite different. Kedarkantha is a six-day hike through Govind PashuVihar National Park. As you begin your ascent, you will be able to see the peaks of Swargarohini, Bandarpunch, and Kalanag. Originally, the area served as a pasture site for shepherds and a temple for locals. Over time, it grew in popularity among hikers and became a bustling tourist destination. Kedarkantha peak, one of India's first commercial winter climbs, has captured the imagination and hearts of millions of Indian trekkers over the years. Its beauty captivates both your eyes and your heart. Trekking on Kedarkantha is much more than it appears in a few photos on your screen. It provides you with a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment.

Kedarkantha Trek with Rishikesh Reviews

Shreya Kapoor

Majestic Snow-Capped Summit!

Reaching the summit of Kedarkantha was a dream come true. The snow was pristine, the views were surreal — and BanBanjara’s logistics were spot on. A trek I’ll never forget.

Rahul Desai

Adventure + Tranquillity in the Himalayas

From the spiritual vibes of Rishikesh to the crisp mountain air on the trek, this package offered the perfect mix. The guide kept us safe and motivated — highly recommended for first-time trekkers.

Neha Jain

Well-Organised & Supportive Team

I was nervous about a trekking holiday with limited experience, but the team made it so manageable. The gear, meals, pace, everything was thoughtfully arranged. Great experience.

Arun Singh

Unforgettable Winter Trek

It’s not often you get to trek in snow and yet feel so comfortable. The campsite, the bonfire nights, the early-morning summit walk — total highlight. Will book with BanBanjara again.

Alisha Verma

Great for Group Travel

We travelled as a group of friends and everyone had a blast. Shared stories over the fire, ski-like fun in the snow, and the guide kept the vibe fun and safe. Would do it again.

Vijay Rao

Nature at Its Best

Waking up to mountain peaks, hiking through forests, and arriving at a frozen lake — the nature experience was outstanding. The logistics were handled smoothly which let us truly relax into it.

Kritika Mehta

Loved the Rishikesh Addition

Ending the trek with a chill trip down in Rishikesh was just perfect. The contrast between adrenaline and relaxation was well-balanced. Thank you for the memories.

Mohammed Ali

Minor Cold, Maximum Fun

Cold mornings and steep trails were part of the fun. One minor hiccup: my boots developed a small leak — but the team fixed it and got me sorted quickly. Overall a huge thumbs up.

Pooja Nambiar

Ideal for Escape from City Life

I needed to get away from Delhi-Jaipur hustle and this trek delivered. Quiet nights, cosmic skies, fresh snow – this was exactly the reset I needed.

Rohit Kulkarni

A Must-Do for Seasonal Adventurers

If you like trekking in winter or snowy mountain landscapes, this one is for you. The summit view of the Himalayan range at dawn was breathtaking. Big thanks to BanBanjara.
