Package Overview

The Kedarkantha Trail remains cool due to heavy winter snowfall – from December to April! Say hello to your first glimpse of snow as you reach 10,000 feet, and from there, well, it's summer paradise without AC.
Its picturesque campsites are ones that other trekkers would love to see if they could!
While there are a large number of treks and camps in the Himalayas, the Kedarkantha trek, in our opinion, takes the cake in terms of sheer beauty and scenic awesomeness. Both the camps – Juda-Ka-Talab Camp and Kedarkantha Base Camp – are breathtakingly beautiful in their own way. The Kedarkantha base is situated in a vast snow-covered meadow surrounded by winter whites with distant snow-capped peaks almost surrounding it, while the Juda-Ka-Talab camp is located in the epicentre of huge pine trees towering high with all their might. The journey is as beautiful as the destination.
The drive to Kedarkanth is easily one of the most stunning and beautiful routes in the country. It will take you through the most beautiful locations which include Mussoorie, Nowgaon, Purola, Mori, and Naitwar. Undoubtedly, this lesser-known route is a treat for sore eyes and therefore the Kedarkantha trek needs no convincing at all.
The view at Kedarkantha Trekking has almost no rivals.
Right from the base camp, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the famous mountains and a picturesque landscape that will leave you in awe. Reach the top and it's like being on top of the world with the beauty of nature in all its glory waiting to be enjoyed.
