Why Kedarkantha is the Most Popular Winter Trek in Uttarakhand, India?
It is true that Kedarkantha is considered to be the most popular winter trek in Uttarakhand and the world today. Therefore, Kedarkantha trek is the prominent and most popular winter trek in Uttarakhand. It has got unmatched beauty in winters and the trail hides in a thick blanket of snow almost winter. Kedarkantha trek will offer a large number of stunning views like green stretches of land ,fresh flowing water and thick forests .The snow clad mountain tops along with the thick forests make the trip worthwhile.
The lush green forests usually turn white, making it a small Switzerland. As a result, The Kedarkantha trek is not only for experienced trekkers but this trek is also for the amateurs and children’s too. Trekking through the forests you can see adorable sights of traditionally dressed villagers collecting fodder for their cattle. It’s beautiful area to spot various trees like pine ,oak and rhododendron.
The Winter view is a bit different here. There should be snow all around, snow-capped mountains and beautiful river rivulets and birds. Once someone has reached the Sankri market base camp, they have come to another world of mind, Sankri is a small and beautiful market which is famous for shopping among tourists. There are plenty of hotels and home stays that you can spend night in and then continue with your trek. When you see the sunrise and sunset view here, you will see yourself so close to the sky.
Kedarkantha Winter is different fun playing snowman sliding and throwing snow at each other’s equipment and making snowfall is even more enjoyable. Taking beautiful photos in the snow is a memorable moment and winter trek can be the best trek in your life. The best thing is that when snow falls, it is a different sight; most people come to see it.
The Moon from Sankri base camp seems so close that touching it feels possible. And, the sunrise from Sankri is gorgeous because the golden rays of the sun eagerly welcome and wake you up. The day ends, and we don’t even realize – someone said it right that we Kuldeep Ji, you are lucky that you live here. The trekkers told me if the office, airport, everything was here, they would never leave the mountains.
My only answer was – if every facility were here, then the mesmerizing beauty of the mountains would have lost somewhere. The untouched beauty is the thing that provides peace and a spark to know about the hills. We are fortunate and happy to be “Pahadis.”
Come know about the camp of Kedarkantha
The meaning of pond is like a bunch of hair. These are seen in summer when there is no snow here. Winter, I do not see it because the snow is covered with pure The Juda ka Talab is an incredible camp, where there are dense forests and the beautiful Bugyal in the center, so this is considered a camp. Kedarkantha Base Camp is a beautiful Bugyal. From where you can see the starting Kedarkantha Peak, Kedarkantha Base Camp is in an open ground. Kedarkantha Base Camp is a big campsite in this trek, From here you start to see views of the entire Himalayas. It is very nice to spend the night here.

Himalayan Hiker’s Kedarkantha Trek
Write a review on Himalayan Hikers for kedarkhantha trak and special mention David bhiya and Sanoj bhiya as my guide
I recently had the pleasure of going on the Kedarkantha trek with Himalayan Hikers and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. Our guides, David bhiya and Sanoj bhiya, were incredibly knowledgeable and attentive throughout the entire trek. They made sure we were safe and comfortable at all times, and their passion for the mountains was evident in the way they shared their knowledge and love for the area with us. The trek itself was challenging but extremely rewarding, with beautiful views and a sense of accomplishment at the summit. I highly recommend Himalayan Hikers and specifically David bhiya and Sanoj bhiya as guides for anyone looking to experience the beauty of the Kedarkantha trek.
Himalayan Hikers –
thanks Mr. Saral shrivastava ,
ashishsingh.bme (verified owner) –
wonderful experience . never imagined such kind of service like custard and gulab jamun on trek , matar paneer , ontime tea and foods etc. Our guide mahavir ji and chaturvedi ji aka pandit ji were very supportive and always encouraged us to complete the trek. Himalayan hikers are the best trek agency as far as I seen.
Himalayan Hikers –
thanks Mr. Ashish ji have a great day
apoorva1997.as –
It was the best experience of my life till date. The staff was very helpful, we were served home cooked meals at all intervals. The guide who went with our group, Mr. Kamal Thappa, he was very helpful from beginning till the very end. I’m a beginner trekker and this was my first trek but he made it easy for me and helped me out at every step of the way wherever I got stuck. They treated us like family and it didn’t feel like a second that we were away from home. We were even served food in our tents itself because we were too cold to come out.
In all the greatest experience and the credit goes entirely to the Himalayan Hikers family. 😊
Himalayan Hikers –
Thanks Apoorva ji , you have shared your experience kedarkantha , we will continue to do better in future also.
rishabhkhetan1995 –
One thing I can assure is that there is no better company than Himalayan hikers. It is the best in terms of everything, be it the trek guide, food, experience and so on. Special thanks to our trek guide Mr Kamal. He is the best guide you can ever come across. He helped us in all the way possible and I can assure you nobody does everything in such a personal way. I loved the trek and its memories are going to stay lifelong with me.

Me and my husband did this trek during Holi on 29.03.21 to 01.04.21.This is our first trek, enjoyed a lot, experience with Himalayan Hiker team was quite good from pickup to drop. Ours was a 47 people group and were guided by four(RADHE, BIJU Bhaiya, Ramesh Bhaiya and forgot other’s name).The guides were very helpful, charming, and funny too, they gave their helping hands whenever we needed. On the very 1st day of our trek, after 1 hour climbing we were exhausted by our backpack, but the guides helped us by carrying our backpack by themselves for the rest of the trek(as Mules were already booked at the beginning).Thank you guys and also sorry for the inconvenience. Food was good at Hotel & Camp. Only problem was electricity & wifi at Hotel, though it is understandable at such a remote location. Above all Himalayan Hikers Rock. Will meet you soon and recommend you to others.
Amol Bhosale –
Had an experience worth a million dollars, a million smiles and so much more. This was one amazing trek for our group of 6 mountaineers and we want to do it all over again, just to see the amazing view of the mountains once again. The trek guide and instructor Mr. Kuldeep Panwar were really amazing. He had all the info about the trek and made it real easy for us.Recommend this for all nature lovers and hard core adventurers alike

I have been waiting for Kedarkanta Trek for around 6 months, but today I have finally succeeded with it because of our fabulous guide Kuldeep Panwar. On summit day it snowed really heavy so it was risky to climb up the summit but our guide made it fun for us and finally we completed the summit.

Great experience we have had with Himalayan Hikers (HH), this was the first snow trek for us with lots of queries in mind but HH team made it very simple for us, HH people are really very nice, kind, polite and helpful. Thanks to Mr. Kuldeep Rawat sir and his team for giving us a lifetime memorable trekk. If anyone is going first time then you don’t need to worry, simply connect with Kuldeep sir he will guide you nicely.
Just don’t compromise the necessary things to carry which HH suggest you to carry.
All hiking gears you can get on rent in Sankri if you don’t want to carry luggage with you.
Summary about Himalayan Hikers:
✓ Safe.
✓ Great food quality.
✓ All time support for any queries.
✓ Well mannered staff and guides.
✓ No hurry for fresh or slow trekkers.
✓ Stay facility is fantastic.

I did my First Snow trek ‘Kedarkantha trek’ with Himalayan hikers in February 2020. It was the best best experience ever in my lifetime.. from pick up from dehradun, stay at hotel Swargarohini, trekking experience, stay at tent, best food at this much high altitude. Its was the life remembering experience. And the guides we got were the best till date. Rajat sir, pardeep bhaiya, deshraj bhaiya and Nilam di.. i dont have enough words to thanks them.. they were so polite and so nice with us. They helped me to reach the summit nd the view from top wss mesmerising and unforgettable. Thanks to himalyan hikers for the best experience nd waiting for the next trek to do with you again…

This was my first trekking experience in uttarakhand. I had decided to book with himalayan hikers. At the start i was little worried about the services and the place but the team has won my heart. The guides were so supportive “brijmohan jee” ratan jee, mahendra jee. Thank you for all your support. The team has provided fresh food that too steaming hot at such an altitude which is almost impossible for me to think. They have taken soo good care of us like their own child. The team has provided us food at 3 am when we were going for summit which is incredible. Also i would like to thank kuldeep jee for helping me understand what to take and what not in the trek. Overall it was an amazing experience with himalayan hikers and i will surelly book another trip with this group.
Kudos to all team members.
Love you himalayan hikers team. Will surelly recommend to my friends.😊😊

When you review a trekking company, you must also keep in mind why you chose it in the first place. I came to know about them because one of my good friend suggested me to join there. Firstly, these guys are NOT for the fussy people, in fact trekking as a sport is NOT suitable for the fussy and beta males. The Himalayan Hikers are in a league of their own. The guides are local and ARE total beasts at what they do. It is not a company for candyfloss people who throw money at companies expecting a luxurious itinerary in return. It is not one of those places. If you want to know the history behind each mountains, connect with the local culture, experience what hardship in the Himalayas actually means, Himalayan Hikers are at the top of the food chain. I had the chance to trek with Surender Rana, my guide during Kedarkantha. We started the summit at 3:45 am from BC. We were the first to reach the peak with the lowest duration. About the food, they have employed probably the best cooks from the valleys. I doubt if any other companies come close to them in terms of experience in trekking, cooking. The secretary, Shri Chain Singh, is what a gentleman and businessman should be. He eats his food with his employees. The guides and his subordinates respect him to the fullest. And maybe that is why Himalayan Hikers have such an incredible customer retention.

It was simply an A+ experience for me and our entire group. From the second to the fifth day, there was only trekking and trekking. Great views of the Himalayas, amazing trekking routes, snow blankets to walk over, everything was so beautiful and clear. Kudos to HH team! Such a delight Kedarkantha trek!

Kedarkantha as a trekking place is a very fantastic place and every should have a trek here in winter season to enjoy the snow and the vast ice fields along with the long walks .
As an overall review I would like to say that it’s quite good. As for the Campsite and the service you provided during the trek and the guides and everything is awesome. However some changes to be done to make it even better . For example the hotel in which we were staying was not up to the mark with relation to other other trekking companies . Especially , the hot water supply in the hotel was not up to the mark and they need to add diverse types of food. Also, I can remember the equipment that we had been given was not good , especially the crampon . However, my hats off to the guides as the night we had a snowstorm , they worked very hard to keep the snow away from our tent. I strongly recommend that you undergo this trek during winter and of course , with this organisation.

Awesome experience, Kedarkantha was my first trekking experience , its not about only treck but also the guid and other services including food/ lodging. I and my team are like beginner for treck, but the team of guids(Ramesh bhaiya, narender bhayia and gyan bhayia) provided by Rawat ji was really nice.They all are so supportive and motivational people, it is very important to have a great guide. This team has proved to be quiet efficient in a lot many ways. They are patient for the slow trekkers, great entertainers and even greater cooks. Most important was food which was served was really giving us homely feel and commendable .
Our experience with the Himalayan hikers was really amazing.

Amazing experience and best part was the service
Better ng vegetarian I always had this doubt of good food but they provide superb and amazing quality food and that’s not it
A such an altitude where we won’t even get water to drink we would get food like almost atleast 4 times a day ( freshly cooked not packaged )
Being a first timer and beginner in trekking we could complete it with utmost ease
The guide and the staff is amazing
I was in constant touch with Kuldeep ji and right from our pick up from Dehradun station and drop to.Dehradun station we did not feel uncomfortable or anything
It was the best experience
Also when we went there were many trekeking groups which were closed due to government regulations for their problems
But Himalayan Hikers have their own property and you can totally rely on them

I have been trekking the Himalayas for 7 years now (not too many years, I know!) But trekking is my life. I like to explore new places, new people, experience life as it comes.
Himalayan hikers is a great team of different, warm and fun people who help you through the trek. For trekking at extreme temperatures, it is very important to have a great guide. This team has proved to be quiet efficient in a lot many ways. They are patient for the slow trekkers, great entertainers and even greater cooks.
Our experience with the Himalayan hikers have been amazing!
Kudos to the team!
One can never go unless the mountains call for you. Have a great time trekking the Himalayas!

I had never been to Himalayas and Kedarkantha was my first trekking experience. I did not know much about the places and what things to carry, but thanks to Mr Kuldeep who helped a lot. It was once in a lifetime experience, the steep climb was very hard for me but the support and motivation by our trek leader “Mahendra” was enough to boost my confidence. When I reached the summit I felt out of this world and words are less to explain them!The towering mountains looked extremely captivating and the peaceful aura of this place is unforgettable. Thanks to all the mates and team members for being so kind and helpful.
