About the Event

When it comes to winter trekking, the Kedarkantha trek is the best choice because it features new
powder-soft sparkling snow. It’s a year-round trek, but it’s particularly well-known and common in
the winter. It is the best choice for winter trekking for trekkers who want to combine adventure with
a straightforward approach. It is one of Uttarakhand’s most famous treks and is full of natural
wonders. This trek is
mythologically significant, and some claim it is linked to the ancient Indian epic “The Mahabharata.”
Lord Shiva’s alias name is Kedar, and the word Kantha means throat. There
are several stories about it. Some people believe the rumors, while others
do not, but one thing is certain: going on this trek will bring you inner peace.
You will get closer to you if you follow the road. The Kedarkantha trek leads
to the Kedarkantha Peak, which stands at an altitude of 12,500 feet. The
trek takes place in Uttarakhand’s Uttarakashi district’s Western Garhwal.
During the summer months of April to June, the temperature at
Kedarkantha reaches 20 degrees. In the winter, however, the weather
blankets the mountains in pristine white snow, making it an exciting
destination for skiing or even trekking!
