Nestled in the heart of the Indian Himalayas, the Kedarkantha Trek stands out as a favorite among trekking enthusiasts. Known for its breathtaking views and beginner-friendly trails, it’s an excellent choice for both first-time and seasoned adventurers.
The journey typically includes comfortable accommodations, hearty meals, and professional guides, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience. Depending on the duration and service level, package prices may vary to suit different preferences.
Located at an altitude of around 11,250 feet, the base camp sets the stage for a spectacular ascent to the 12,500-foot summit. Along the way, trekkers are treated to picturesque campsites tucked within pine forests and open meadows. The landscape transforms beautifully with the seasons, offering a unique charm year-round.
The summit rewards hikers with sweeping 360-degree panoramic views, showcasing majestic peaks such as Swargarohini, Banderpooch, Black Peak, and the distant Dhauladhar range.
The ideal time to explore Kedarkantha is from December to February, when the entire trail is blanketed in pristine snow. Winter sunrays break through the chilly air, making daytime trekking enjoyable even as temperatures dip at night. The snowy terrain, clear skies, and tranquil environment make this the perfect season for an unforgettable winter trek.
Tip 💡: Try to reach Dehradun early in the morning to start the drive by 6:30–7:00 AM for a comfortable arrival at Sankri before dark.
Begin your journey with a mesmerizing hill drive from Dehradun to Sankri, winding through scenic towns like Mussoorie, Damta, Naugaon, Purola, Mori, and Naitwar. This 200 km stretch is dotted with lush green valleys, dense forests, and glimpses of the majestic Himalayas.
Sankri is a quaint mountain village in the Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand and serves as the last road head into the Govind Wildlife Sanctuary, the gateway to several Himalayan treks.
🍲 Meals: Dinner included
🛏️ Stay: Guest House / Homestay (on a triple or quad sharing basis)
Your trek begins with a gradual ascent from Sankri, leading you through the quaint Saud village. The initial stretch is a gentle climb, allowing you to ease into the rhythm of the trail. As you move forward, the forest grows denser, with a thick carpet of fallen maple and pine leaves crunching beneath your feet, creating a golden-brown path surrounded by towering pine and oak trees.
The air turns crisp as you gain altitude, and the tranquil forest atmosphere wraps around you in serene silence, occasionally broken by birdsong or rustling leaves. After about 4–5 hours of trekking through these enchanting woodlands, you’ll reach Juda Ka Talab, a picturesque alpine lake that’s often partially frozen in winter.
This stunning campsite, nestled amidst snow-dusted trees and mountain slopes, offers a peaceful retreat for the night. Watch the sunset paint the skies in warm hues, and wake up to a glittering sunrise that reflects beautifully off the icy waters of the lake.
🏕 Stay: Tent (3 trekkers per tent)
🍲Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Evening Snacks, Dinner
Today’s trail is relatively short but incredibly scenic. The route begins once again through the dense pine and oak forests, winding along steep ridgelines and deeper wooded stretches. The cool mountain air, filtered sunlight, and sounds of nature create a truly immersive Himalayan experience.
After about 2–3 hours of trekking, the forest suddenly opens up to reveal a breathtaking sight — a vast alpine meadow set against the majestic backdrop of the snow-capped Dhauladhar ranges. The view is truly surreal, offering a panoramic canvas of the Himalayas that feels both humbling and exhilarating.
This beautiful meadow is your campsite for the night, located just below the Kedarkantha summit. With wide-open spaces, soft grassy patches, and stunning 360° mountain views, this is arguably the highlight of the entire trek.
Take time to explore the area, breathe in the crisp mountain air, and soak in the tranquil charm of your surroundings. The stargazing at night from this altitude is spectacular — a sky full of stars and complete silence.
🏕 Stay: Tent (3 trekkers per tent)
🍲 Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Evening Snacks, Dinner
Today is the most exciting and rewarding day of the entire trek — summit day.
You begin early in the morning, typically before sunrise, to reach the Kedarkantha summit and witness the first light spilling over the snow-clad Himalayan peaks. The climb is steep but thrilling, taking you through a narrowing trail that gradually emerges from the dense pine forests.
After about 2 hours of ascent, you’ll stand atop the Kedarkantha Summit (12,500 ft), surrounded by 360° panoramic views of the Garhwal and Himachal Himalayas. From here, you’ll witness a majestic sight — Swargarohini, Black Peak (Kalanag), Bandarpoonch, the Dhauladhar range, Har ki Dun Valley, Rupin and Supin Valleys, Chainsheel Pass, Gangotri, Yamunotri, Jaonti, Jorkanden, and Draupadi ka Danda — all forming a stunning backdrop of snow and sky.
After soaking in the scenery and taking photographs, you’ll begin the descent back to base camp, stopping briefly for lunch at a midway point. Post-lunch, you’ll descend further down to Juda Ka Talab, where you'll spend the night.
🏕 Stay: Tent (3 per tent)
🍲 Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Today marks the final day of your trek as you descend back to Sankri, retracing your steps along a well-defined, stone-paved trail. The 4 km route takes around 3–4 hours to complete and offers scenic views, especially from the ridge overlooking the stunning Har Ki Dun Valley. After enjoying breakfast at the campsite, begin your descent and aim to reach Sankri by 12:30–1:00 PM to allow enough time for the return journey. Shared taxis arranged by us will drop trekkers back to Dehradun Railway Station from Sankri.

We are always prepared for unpredictable mountain weather — and encourage trekkers to share any safety concerns with our team for quick support.
Your well-being is our priority. For high-altitude treks, we conduct daily oxygen saturation and pulse monitoring (as needed) before and during the trek.
This proactive step helps us:
Detect early signs of altitude sickness
Make informed decisions for your safety
Ensure every trekker remains fit and comfortable throughout the journey
Oxygen Cylinders & Medical Kit:
Altitude affects everyone differently. Our guides are equipped with portable oxygen cylinders and essential first-aid medicines for immediate use in case of altitude-related symptoms.
Tip for trekkers: Stay physically prepared — activities like running, cycling, and swimming greatly improve endurance at high altitudes.
Stretchers at Every Campsite:
In case of emergencies or injuries, stretchers are available at all campsites, ensuring a safe and swift evacuation to base camp for further care.
Radio Communication Across Camps:
Cell networks can be unreliable in the mountains. To bridge the gap, our camps and guides stay connected via a dedicated radio communication system, ensuring quick response in cases of bad weather, missing items, or medical needs.
For treks involving snow-covered or technically challenging terrain, our trained technical team is deployed to assist. They ensure:
Proper route safety
Emergency handling
Support in difficult sections like icy slopes or narrow ridgelines

This is not a vacation — it's a transformational journey. Embrace it with a spirit of curiosity, resilience, and flexibility. Whether it’s a cold night, a steep climb, or a sudden change in weather — your attitude defines your adventure.
You don’t need to be an athlete, but a basic level of fitness will enhance your trek. We’re here to help you choose the right trek and get prepared, physically and mentally. A little prep goes a long way toward making your trek enjoyable and safe.
Our trek leaders are trained professionals and safety experts. Trust their decisions — they’re made with the group’s well-being in mind. Whether it's a change in route, pace, or a safety call, your cooperation ensures everyone stays safe and gets the most out of the experience.
At Trekkaro, adventure begins with trust, continues with passion, and ends with lifelong memories. We’re ready — and we’re excited to have you on the trail with us.
At Trekkaro, we redefine the trekking experience with our Free Trekking Gear (FTG) initiative — a game-changer in the adventure travel industry. We equip our trekkers with top-tier trekking gear at zero additional cost, including premium Decathlon products like:
Shoes (worth ?6,999)
Insulated Jackets (-10 °C) (worth ?3,299)
Trekking Poles (worth ?1,299)
This ensures every adventurer, whether first-time or experienced, can enjoy the mountains without the financial burden of buying expensive gear. It's trekking made accessible, safe, and seamless.
Our high-performance tents and sleeping bags are engineered for extreme alpine conditions.
Sleeping Bags: Designed to endure temperatures as low as -5°C to -20°C
Tents: Provide additional insulation and wind protection for a warm, secure rest each night
We are always prepared for unpredictable mountain weather — and encourage trekkers to share any safety concerns with our team for quick support.
Your well-being is our priority. For high-altitude treks, we conduct daily oxygen saturation and pulse monitoring (as needed) before and during the trek.
This proactive step helps us:
Detect early signs of altitude sickness
Make informed decisions for your safety
Ensure every trekker remains fit and comfortable throughout the journey
Oxygen Cylinders & Medical Kit:
Altitude affects everyone differently. Our guides are equipped with portable oxygen cylinders and essential first-aid medicines for immediate use in case of altitude-related symptoms.
Tip for trekkers: Stay physically prepared — activities like running, cycling, and swimming greatly improve endurance at high altitudes.
Stretchers at Every Campsite:
In case of emergencies or injuries, stretchers are available at all campsites, ensuring a safe and swift evacuation to base camp for further care.
Radio Communication Across Camps:
Cell networks can be unreliable in the mountains. To bridge the gap, our camps and guides stay connected via a dedicated radio communication system, ensuring quick response in cases of bad weather, missing items, or medical needs.
For treks involving snow-covered or technically challenging terrain, our trained technical team is deployed to assist. They ensure:
Proper route safety
Emergency handling
Support in difficult sections like icy slopes or narrow ridgelines
With Trekkaro, you’re always in safe and experienced hands — so you can focus on what truly matters: the adventure of a lifetime.
