Kedarkantha trek

Have your breakfast in the morning, then start your trek to Juda Ka Talab, which is at an altitude of 9,100ft, and it will take approx. 5 hours to reach there, after the 10 minutes of the trail, the path is surrounded by the luscious green forest of Pine and Maple. You will get a chance to witness the Woodpeckers, which is quite common in this region. After a while, the forest trail ends up in a meadow, where there are two small huts. You can have your lunch here or you can pack up your lunch. It will take only half an hour from here, to reach the campsite. Overnight camping in Juda Ka Talab.

Wake up in the early morning, then witness the breathtaking view of the sunrise in the beautiful Himalayas. Start your trek to Kedarkantha base camp, the trail follows the Pine forests, which open in a beautiful meadow, after an hour. It will take 3-4 hours to reach the next campsite, there you will get a chance to see the snow-covered mountains, which glows like a moon at night, and the Kedarkantha peak will be directly visible from the campsite. Overnight stay and dinner in the camps.

Start your day with a healthy breakfast, and then start your trek to Kedarkantha peak, located at the height of 12,500 ft. The trek starts through the forests of Oak and Pine. Enjoy the trek, after some time the breathtaking destination will be very close to us. As the forests open, the peak is very close now, there is also a little temple at the top, dedicated to Lord Shiva, Goddess Parvati, and Lord Ganesh. You will experience the breathtaking view of the Himalayas and the clouds coming closer to you. You can also meditate there if time permits. After enjoying the view, start your trek back to the camps. Rest in the camps for a while, then continue the trek to Hargaon camps, which is a beautiful campsite, where you can enjoy. Have the delicious dinner prepared for you, and then get back to the camps.

Although there is a sharp drop in our altitude today (8,900 to 6,400 feet), the trek from the Hargaon Base Camp to Sankri is relatively simple and takes only a little over four hours. It is time to say goodbye to the base camp, but with a lot of memories in your heart and tonnes of trekking experience under your belt. Through endless pathways full of oak and maple, we witness the phenomenal view of Har Ki Dun. It is wondrous how nature’s splendor has been spread across for us like a picture to see. This is one of the greatest achievements of the universe. We make our final journey to Dehradun via road, over a 7-8 hour stretch, including breaks for food and refreshments. It is the same alpine road that you crossed on your way uphill, but after such a wholesome experience, you feel changed and content. By late evening, we are back in Dehradun. Trekkers looking to travel on Day 6 itself can be dropped at the bus stand or the railway station, as required. Anyone wanting to spend the night in the cozy city of Doon can make their bookings accordingly. For this time, our journey ends here with lots of happy memories.
