Overview

Why Kedarkantha is India's most-loved winter trek

Do you know why Kedarkantha is getting more and more popular? Kedarkantha trek is one of the most accessible treks from Delhi — it's just perfect for a Delhi escape and getting close to nature and snow.

The trek is easy to moderate, but at the same time, it has challenges that make you feel proud when you complete them. The view from the summit is unique because from the summit, you can see other famous peaks like Gangotri, Bandarpoonch, Swargarohini, Black Peak, etc.

Trek across the tall and beautiful pine trees to reach Juda ka Talab, a frozen lake, one of the Instagrammable locations on the trek.

The trip was amazing and made new friends which are like a family now. The trekking gears and the arrangements were fantastic. The life on mountain is not easy but worth living for. The surreal sunrise at the end made me forget struggle and tiredness during the trek. Thank you BanBanjara team for this amazing experience.

One of the most memorable journeys of my life. Mountains have always fascinated me since childhood — I'd see pictures of snow-covered peaks and dream of standing there myself. BanBanjara made that dream real.

Common questions

Everything trekkers ask, answered

Kedarkantha Trek is one of the few treks that experts suggest for beginners. It is ideal for a beginner — it has challenges, but it's still a very structured trek. On the other hand, this is also popular among experienced travellers due to its snowy campsites and unique summit view.

We (kedarkanthatrekfromdelhi.com — BanBanjara's vertical) operate the Kedarkantha trek year-round, but the most popular season starts from October to April.

Yes. Depending on the package, we include transport from Delhi to Delhi or Dehradun to Dehradun. 1 night stay at a hotel / guest house and 3 nights stay at campsites. All meals during the trek and in Sankri. Trekking permits & fees. Guide and support staff. Camping equipment (tents, sleeping bags, mats).

Yes, some trekkers prefer joining directly from Sankri. In that case, you will meet your trek leader at Sankri and all arrangements from there will be taken by us.

The maximum altitude of the trek will be around 12,500 ft, which is the Kedarkantha summit. We reach here on day 4 of the journey. You'll see a 360° view of Himalayan peaks like Swargarohini, Bandarpoonch, and Black Peak.

Since it is a beginner-level trek, you just need a basic fitness level. To prepare more, you can jog 4–5 km daily for 2 weeks and you will be well prepared for this trek.

Kids above 10 can join this trek if they are physically fit and active. Elders up to 60 can also join if they are fit and have no major health issues. (Please consult your doctor beforehand in this case.)
