Picture yourself waking up in snow-draped pine forests, stepping past frozen lakes and being in a vast Himalayan view under a star-studded sky. This isn’t a fantasy — it’s the Kedarkantha Trek, a beloved winter getaway in India.

What makes Kedarkantha Trek so famous?

Out of all the Himalayan treks, Kedarkantha is among the handful of high-altitude treks accessible in the summit winter months. As a first-time or experienced hiker, the trail offers a great blend of graciousness and awe. And whether the distant summit is Swargarohini, Bandarpoonch or Black Peak, the views over the cradle of India are mesmerizing — without any of the technical apparatus it takes to see them.

Each day is different and there is something unique about every season:

Winter (Dec–Mar):

• A frozen lake, snow-covered forest and fairytale-like ambience worked as well for winter enthusiasts as it did for holiday escapees.

Spring (Apr–Jun):

• Rhododendron in bloom, clear sky and melting beauty — great for new hikers and nature photographers.

Autumn (Sep–Nov):

• Fresh air, open spaces and clunky hiking boots are a great way to put some distance between yourself and the madding crowd beneath the stars.

TrekYaari will ensure you a confirmed departure at any batch of your comfort and goals.
