We drive from Dehradun to Sankri via Mussoorie, on the route visiting Kempty Falls & finally basking in the beauty of Yamuna valley, along the river Yamuna. We stop for a hearty breakfast overlooking the river. Once we cross the town of Mori, we find ourselves awestruck by the lush forests along the raging Tons river, a popular Rafting and Kayaking spot with some amazing rapids.

We leave early from Sankri post breakfast and start trekking towards Juda Ka Talab. It is a 4 km trekking which can be covered within 2-3 hrs. The path from Sankri to the base camp is a happening one. With kids on their way to school and local village women starting their daily errands and chores, the trek starts from the village crossing another village, Saud, before you reach the trail that leads to Kedarkantha. The trail takes you into the pine forest and starts to climb sharply until you reach a ridge after a while. On the ridge, the trail evens out and widens. The density of the forest makes the walk very cool for the sun is not able to penetrate through the thickness of the pine and maple trees. We camp overnight alongside the Juda ka Talab which freezes in the winters. The site witnesses significant snowfall during the winter months. Altitude: 2,774 meters.

Moving past Juda Ka Talab, a trail takes you deeper into the dense pine forests. Continue walking and you will finally hit a meadow dotted with shepherd’s huts. After climbing another thousand feet, you will reach the destination of the day - Kedarkantha base camp. It is a 3 km long trail, which takes about 2-3 hours to complete this part of the trek. The trail from Juda Ka Talab till the base camp is indescribably beautiful and mesmerizing. It is the perfect location for photographers and nature lovers! The base camp is colder than the summit because of lack of insulation. Even from the base camp, the famous peaks of Uttarakhand are visible at a stretch, making it the perfect spot to camp at at an altitude of 3,429 meters

Kedarkantha
The trek from the base camp to the summit is not a long one. On reaching the summit, your jaw is going to drop and your eyes will not blink. The Kedarkantha summit is marked by an arrangement of stones with a Trishul that points to the sky. The summit offers an astonishing 360-degree view of the peaks of Uttarakhand and the Chaainsheel Pass and Kailash ranges of Himachal.From the top, you can also see the Har Ki Dun valley below. The story behind Kedarkantha is an interesting one. The name literally means the throat of Lord Shiva (Kedar refers to Lord Shiva and Kantha means Throat). The legend has it that this peak was supposed to be the original Kedarnath temple but Lord Shiva, who disguised himself as a cow hiding from the Pandavas was disturbed during meditation by the villagers. The interruption made him change his location from this peak to the present Kedarnath temple. We make our way back to Sankri along the same route or through alternate route of Hargaon. Altitude 3,810 meters
At Juda ka Talab it was our first camping, and again you will spend here overnight.

5.00I had an incredible solo experience on the Kedarkantha Trek with Himalayan Shelter—truly a once-in-a-lifetime journey. It was just me and the guide/team, and everything was well organized and thoughtfully handled from start to finish. (since I only have limited time, I was able to complete this trek in less then 5 days) A special thank you to my guide, Thoiba, who was attentive, kind, and very accommodating throughout the trek. He made me feel safe and supported every step of the way. The crew did an amazing job. The food was delicious, and reaching the summit was absolutely breathtaking. An experience I’ll never forget. I’m so grateful and would highly recommend Himalayan Shelter to anyone looking for a memorable adventure.

5.00Thank you Team Himalaya Shelter. We had a great trek and our family really enjoyed the stay and overall experience. The way your team handled the kids was wonderful – it made them love the mountains even more and inspired them to become future trekkers. We were also lucky to see fresh snow at the base camp on the last day, which made the trip even more special.

5.00I had a wonderful experience on the Kedarkantha Winter Trek with Himalayan Shelter, and Tanisha Chauhan played a key role in making it so memorable. She was very supportive, approachable, and well-organized right from the start, helping us with all the necessary information and preparations. Throughout the trek, her coordination, encouragement, and calm attitude in tough winter conditions really stood out. Tanisha’s dedication and positive energy made the journey comfortable and enjoyable for everyone. I truly appreciate her efforts and would highly recommend Himalayan Shelter and Tanisha to anyone planning a Himalayan trek.

5.00I went on a walk from the company to the workshop. Thanks to Bachan and Sonu, we have had a fun and safe walk! All guides were always appropriate, and in the middle there was a lot of rain and there was a need to change the schedule. Also all hostels, restaurants, courses, transportation was appropriate and a meaningful time :)
