Overview
Among seasonal trekkers and beginners, the Kedarkantha trek is one of the most popular winter treks. It is a week-long trek in Uttarakhand’s Pashu Vihar National Park. Situated at an altitude of about 3810 meters above sea level, this thrilling summit offers a mind-blowing view of the majestic Himalayan peaks decorated across the skyline.
The most prominent peaks are Bandarpoonch, Black Peak, Swargarohini, Yamunotri, and Gangotri.
The rewarding summit climb is one of the reasons the Kedarkantha trek is so popular. As soon as you reach the base camp, the trek gets steeper. As you start walking towards the summit early in the morning, the birds and the Himalayan crowns wish you good luck. The glorious view keeps you company as you climb up the hill.
Kedarkantha trek gets more challenging and is best enjoyed during the winters. The freezing temperatures, snow, and gushing winds make the winters tough here. For your safety, perfect trekking gears are the most important thing. Keep on reading the article to know more about the gear required for the Kedarkantha trek.
