Itinerary

Day 1 Dehradun to Sankri | Route to The Paradise of Himalayas

Your Kedarkantha Trek starts from Dehradun. Meet the representative who will take you to Sankri, a charming village nestled in the mountains. Enjoy the scenic views along the way as you travel through beautiful valleys and villages. The route is scenic and takes you through a dense pine forest, filling the air with the sweet aroma of pines. Drive alongside the Tons River & reach Sankri in the evening. Proceed with the check-in formalities in the Hotel. Overnight stay in Sankri.

Day 2 Sankri to Juda Ka Talab | Where Lord Shiva once came to meditate

Have breakfast and check out from the Hotel. Start your trek from Sankri Village to Juda Ka Talab. Along the way, cross several high-altitude suspension bridges and small villages. Reach Juda Ka Talab, a lake that holds a mythological significance to Lord Shiva. Check in to the camps a few 100 meters away from the lake for an overnight stay.

  • Begin your trek in Sankri village, where you'll meet your guide and fellow adventurers.
  • Set off on a gradual ascent along a forested trail, breathing in the crisp mountain air and immersing yourself in the natural symphony around you.
  • Traverse through charming meadows and cross quaint streams, with opportunities to spot vibrant birds and local wildlife.
  • Arrive at Juda Ka Talab by late afternoon, a tranquil and stunning lake that promises serene views.
Day 3 Juda Ka Talab to Base Camp | Get your Cameras ready

After breakfast, check out from the campsite and start your trek to the Base Camp. Immerse yourself in the beauty of a snow-lined path and patches of green that surround your way. The imposing view of the snow-capped Himalayan peaks of Bandarpoonch, Swargarohini, Kala Nag, and Ranglana will surely fascinate you and make your experience worthwhile. Upon reaching the campsite, mark the end of the day with a wonderful dinner and retire to the tents for the night.

  • Begin your trek towards the Kedarkantha Base Camp.
  • The trail involves a steep climb, so take it slow and steady. Your trek guide will be there to assist and guide you.
  • As you ascend, you'll pass through dense forests, and if you're trekking during the winter months, you may encounter snow.
  • Enjoy the breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and valleys as you make your way up.
Day 4 Base Camp to Kedar Kantha Summit | Descend Back to Juda Ka Talab

The day you've been waiting for! Wake up early and start your trek at around 2:00 AM in the morning. You will get to feel the welcoming and filtered sun rays from the mountains of the Yamunotri and Gangotri ranges and also of the Kinner Kailash ranges. On reaching the summit witness the breathtaking view of the sun rising from the summit. Afterward, it's time to descend back to the Kedarkantha Base Camp and then to Juda Ka Talab for an overnight stay.

  • Start your trek in the dark with the help of your headlamp. The initial trail is steep and demanding.
  • Follow your experienced trek guide and fellow trekkers as you make your way towards the Kedar Kantha Summit.
  • The trail will be icy and snowy, so be cautious with every step. Use trekking poles if needed.
  • As the sun begins to rise, you'll witness a mesmerizing sunrise from the summit.
  • Reach the summit of Kedar Kantha and savor the breathtaking 360-degree views of the surrounding peaks and valleys.
  • Spend some time at the summit, soaking in the beauty and serenity of the Himalayas, and then descend back to the Kedarkantha Base Camp and then to Juda Ka Talab.
  • The descent can be equally challenging, especially on icy slopes, so follow your guide's instructions closely.

Just finished the Kedarkantha trek with SkyHike last week and it was truly amazing! The views were breathaking, especially the sunrise from the summit, totally worth the hike. The team at SkyHike was super helpful and made sure we were comfortable throughout, though there were a few times I felt like more snacks during the trek would have been nice haha. But overall, the experience was incredible, met some awesome people, and the guides were very knowledgable. Would definetely recomend SkyHike for your next adventure! 👍"
