If you've been planning your Himalayan treks, you must have encountered the Kedarkantha Trek more than once. That's because this stunning winter trek in Uttarakhand has earned a reputation as one of the most rewarding treks in India — and for very good reason.
What Makes Kedarkantha Special?
Kedarkantha (3,810m) sits in the Govind Wildlife Sanctuary in Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand. Unlike many high-altitude treks that require prior experience, Kedarkantha is accessible to beginners while still delivering a genuinely spectacular summit experience — 360-degree views of Swargarohini, Bandarpoonch, Black Peak, and Har Ki Dun peaks.
