About the Kedarkantha Trek in February
The Kedarkantha Trek is arguably India’s most popular winter trek, and for excellent reason. Sited in the Govind Pashu Vihar National Park, the trail originates from the cultural hub of Sankri (1,950 m) and concludes with an exhilarating push to the Kedarkantha Summit at 3,810 m (12,500 ft). Over five days, trekkers navigate approximately 20 kilometres of trail that morphs from dense, autumnal deciduous forests into an alpine winter wonderland of pine, oak, and bottomless powder snow.
