A Complete Guide to Kedarkantha Trek Route
Situated in Uttarakhand, India, Kedarkantha is one of the
mountain peaks of Himalayas. Standing at an elevation of
12,500 ft, this Himalayan peak is famous for its stunning view
and the Kedarkantha Temple situated on it. If you’re
wondering where to start with this gorgeous trek, wonder no
more, here we have given a detailed description of the
Kedarkantha trekking route.
To Sankri
The Kedarkantha trek begins from the city of Dehradun. The
trekkers are advised to reach Dehradun one day before or
before 6 am on the same day. Since it is a long journey
starting early in the day will give you a good head start and
the pleasant weather will make the whole thing much easier
and enjoyable. Your first stop would be Sankri located 220
km away from the starting point. Of course, this journey can
be taken by car. Since the journey is long you can stop at
various popular restaurants for food and refreshments. The
scenic beauty all around makes this long journey a short one,
and you will reach Sankri sometime in the evening. You will
also come across Govind National Park before you reach
your destination and be witness to a beautiful collection of
Flora that is specific to this area. Do not forget to make prior
bookings for a hotel in Sankri as last-minute bookings will
mean more hassle for you. You can explore the Sankri Village
as well as enjoy the scenic beauty of the setting sun on the
Greater Himalayas from Sankri before calling it a day.
To Juda ka Talab
Starting fresh the next day, your Kedarkantha trekking trip
will finally begin! After a healthy breakfast (keep it light!)
your next destination would be Juda Ka Talab situated at an
altitude of 9100 ft. This 4 km journey will take 5 hours. As
soon as you reach the road, a sharp climb will begin going
through thick forests trees, maple, and pine leaves. The
picturesque view will leave you mesmerized and the carpet
of brown will have you spellbound. You might also catch the
Himalayan Languars swinging through a maze of trees
although the animals are so fast, you’ll have to keep an eye
out for them. Boars, martens, and hares are also found here.
Soon enough Juda Ka Talab will come in your view. With a
giant lake to the left and a thick forest to the right, Juda Ka
Talab makes for the perfect campsite. With warm drinks, a
light supper, a walk under the bright night sky you won’t
want anything. If you ever dreamt on sleeping under the
stars well, there’s no better view than from mountains away
from the hustle-bustle of the city.
To Kedarkantha Base
Next on the list is the Kedarkantha base lying at an altitude of
11,250 ft. The distance to reach there is also 4 km but the
journey is going to be faster with an average person only
taking about 2.5 to reach the destination. This time the path
is much more straight-forward and easier to navigate. Going
through the forests, you will come across various shephard
huts in open meadows. If you’re taking the Kedarkantha trek
in winters you might even see some traces of snow. Just
before reaching your destination, you will notice the
enthralling view of snow-capped mountains Bandarpoonch,
Ranglana, Swargarohini, and Kala Nag standing tall. You can
set a camp as soon as you reach the base but try to stay close
together for safety. Soon enough you will witness the milky
way stretching across the sky, an awe striking view for sure.
Since you’ll be at a significant height, don’t forget to carry
your woolen clothes for protection. Stay overnight to enjoy
the beauty of the striking night sky before moving on in your
journey.
To Kedarkantha Peak
Finally, it is time for you to conquer what you came for; the
Kedarkantha peak. This time the elevation would be at
12,500 ft and after hitting the peak you will have to descend
the same day to Horegaon Camp; 8,900 ft. This journey is 7
hours long with a walk of 6 km, the longest so far. There are
several trails to reach the top but it would be suggested to
take the main trail that has an even elevation. The journey
can get quite strenuous closer to the Kedarkantha peak but
don’t worry, the view is worth it. Once you reach there you
can finally see the Kedarkantha Temple in all its glory. The
temple is stood facing the Kedar Parvat. You can relax there
for a while before starting the descent. The journey would be
similar to the one you took earlier in the day, but the view is
so beautiful that you’ll never have a dull moment. You can
set your camp at the Horegaon campsite and finally rest after
a long day. You can also set a campfire and enjoy the view
with your friends and family.
To Sankri
The Kedarkantha trek route comes to a full circle at Sankri
again. The descend to the village will take you about 4 hours.
After enjoying the sunrise from Horegaon you can start on
the well-marked path. Going through the rich pine forests
you can also see various steady streams flowing which have
drinkable water. Har ki Dun valley or the Valley of Gods can
also be seen during this trek. Once you’ve reached there you
can finally relax and chill in your hotel room or go for a walk
in the Sankri village. You can buy small souvenirs like hand-
made items and wooden pieces to remember this trip. If
you’re lucky you might even get to enjoy the small fairs
arranged at Sankri at regular intervals. Folk dances are
presented as part of the entertainment in these fairs. If you
want to taste the local food, go for dhabas but if you would
like to eat North Indian or western cuisine, it is available at
the hotels there. Have fun with the locals and enjoy your last
day of the trek before turning in for the day.
After that, it will take you about 10 hours to return back to
Dehradun. You can travel home from there by whichever
conveyance best suited to your taste. This guide has been
planned keeping first time trekkers in mind. Comfortable and
with ample amount of time for rest you will find this trip fun
and restful. Book your next Trip with Capture a Trip
