📍 Where is Kedarkantha?

The Kedarkantha Trek is in Uttarkashi district of the Indian state of Uttarakhand. The trek starts from Sankri, a beautiful small village at approximately 6,400 ft and ends at the Kedarkantha peak at 12,500 ft.

The trek winds through peaceful forests, frozen lakes, clearings of open meadows and then the snow-covered peak – a 360° view of the serene and stunning Garhwal Himalayas.

🗓️ When To Do Kedarkantha Trek

TrekYaari organises treks of Kedarkantha all year round, however every season has it’s own beauty factor:

December to March (Winter): Winter Wonderland. Perfect for couples looking for a white wonderland.

April to June (Spring/Summer): Meadow will be full of blossoms and the weather will be delightful.

September-November (Autumn): High a blue sky and forests with a golden color.

July to August (Monsoon): Could be avoided as trails are slippery and there are chances of rainfall.

Heavy snow fall hits the peak of December and January for snow treks, offering picture-perfect sceneries.
