Kedarkantha Trek, ( 4 nights / 5 days)
Over view
Kedarkantha peak, Located in the mountains of the Tons river valley is a beautiful ridge peak, easily accessible anytime of the year. Going through the Govind National Park, the trek is embraced with a variety of flora and fauna, makingit even more appealing, adventurous and fulfilling. The summit lies at an altitude of 3850m above sea level and reaching the summit feels very rewarding as you get a 360-degree view of peaks of Uttarakhand like the Swargarohini, Bandarpoonch, Black peak, Ranglana among the Yamunotri and Gangotri ranges. Stretching below, the Har Ki Dun valley makes an appearance. On the north-west, ranges of Himachal Pradesh - that extends into Kinnaur ranges are visible and the Rupin valley makes its way to Himachal on the west. And towards the east, villages like Purola and Mori are visible. The trek is recommended for all the beginners who are in love with snow and high altitude.
