Kedarkantha, nestled in the heart of Uttarakhand’s Govind Wildlife Sanctuary, is a breathtaking Himalayan peak standing at 12,500 feet. Known as one of the most rewarding and accessible winter treks in India, Kedarkantha offers mesmerizing views, snow-covered trails, and a true escape into nature’s untouched beauty.
For both first-time trekkers and seasoned adventurers, Kedarkantha is a dream destination. The journey begins in the charming village of Sankri and winds through dense pine forests, frozen streams, and scenic clearings. During winters, the region transforms into a snow-laden paradise, making it one of the most photogenic treks in North India.
But Kedarkantha is more than just snow and slopes—it’s steeped in local legend. According to folklore, this peak was once considered as a site for Lord Shiva’s Kedarnath temple. The spiritual energy in the region is palpable, making the journey not just physically rewarding, but spiritually uplifting.
