About this activity

There are treks that challenge your body, and then there are journeys that touch your soul. The Premium Kedarkantha Trek is one such unforgettable winter adventure, taking you deep into the snow-covered Garhwal Himalayas of Uttarakhand on a trail loved by both beginners and seasoned trekkers.

Starting from Mussoorie and driving up to Sankri, this trek winds through silent pine, oak, and rhododendron forests, where every tree stands draped in fresh snow. You will pass the frozen lake of Juda Ka Talab and climb towards the Kedarkantha Base Camp, set in wide alpine meadows glowing under winter sunsets. 

Along the way, abandoned shepherd huts and views of the pristine Rupin and Supin valleys remind you of mountain life frozen in time.

The final summit climb begins before dawn, leading you to Kedarkantha Peak at 3,810 m (12,500 ft) just as the first golden rays illuminate the entire Himalayan range. From the top, the 360° panorama stretches from Swargarohini and Black Peak to Har Ki Dun, making all the effort feel like a dream realised.

Local legends say Kedarkantha, meaning “Shiva’s throat,” is where Lord Shiva meditated, adding a touch of mythology to the pristine snowscapes you walk through. The best time for Kedarkantha trek is December to March, when the entire route turns into a glittering winter wonderland, ideal for families and first-time trekkers seeking Himalayan magic.

What makes this trek truly special is how Himtrek elevates the journey with premium hospitality. If you are looking for a Himalayan winter trek that blends easy terrain with majestic views and premium comfort, the Premium Kedarkantha Trek promises an experience that stays etched in your heart long after you have returned home.
