Posted by Deepak pandey on June 07, 2025

 

If you dream of a snow-covered Himalayan escape, the Kedarkantha Trek should be at the top of your bucket list. Nestled in the Govind Pashu Vihar National Park in Uttarakhand, this magical journey takes you through dense pine forests and charming villages and ends at a summit offering a 360-degree view of snow-capped peaks. No wonder it's hailed as the best winter trek in India.

Why Kedarkantha is Perfect for Every Trekker

Whether you're a beginner or an experienced adventurer, Kedarkantha offers the right balance of beauty and challenge. With a moderate difficulty level and an altitude of 12,500 ft, this trek is achievable yet thrilling. The trail starts from the scenic Sankri village trek, a quaint Himalayan hamlet that's the gateway to this snowy paradise.

Unmatched Views and Snow-Covered Bliss

From the very first step, you'll be surrounded by snow-draped forests, frozen lakes, and clear blue skies. The highlight, of course, is the summit climb. The panoramic view from the top includes famous peaks like Swargarohini, Black Peak, Bandarpoonch, and more. It’s truly a photographer’s dream and one of the top-rated snow treks in the Himalayas.
