Kedarkantha Trek
Kedarkantha Trek is a popular winter trek in Uttarakhand, known for snow-covered landscapes, forest trails, and views from the summit area. The trek is described as suitable for beginners, with manageable daily distances and an easy to moderate difficulty level.
The trek covers about 20 km over 6 days and reaches a maximum altitude of 3,810 metres. The route begins from Sankri and passes places such as Juda ka Talab and Hargaon Base before reaching Kedarkantha peak.
December to April is described as the ideal time to visit, especially for snow trekking. Winter brings snow-covered trails, frozen Juda ka Talab, clear skies, and views of peaks such as Swargarohini, Bandarpoonch, and Black Peak. March and April are also noted for milder weather and changing forest scenery.
Accommodation mentioned in the source includes a guesthouse at Sankri and tents at campsites.
There is no electricity available on the trail beyond Sankri village, and reliable ATMs are not available after Dehradun.
