Although Kedarkantha is well known as one of the best trekking destinations but do you know it also has a religious angle? Yes, you heard right. It is believed that lord shiva had meditated at this location for a very long time. One small temple is also located on the summit; it might not be as famous as the Kedarnath temple, but it also holds immense importance for trekkers and locals alike.
The word Kedarkantha means "Throat of lord Shiva", which signifies his presence in this area. There are many legends surrounding this location. Locals around this temple believe that lord shiva had meditated at this location while avoiding the Pandavas. While some feel that bulls started galloping there while lord shiva was meditating, and hence he went to Kedarnath to meditate.
Whatever the story may be behind this beautiful temple, it makes the expedition to Kedarkantha peak a perfect mix of adventure under the divine power. Locals believe that this temple radiates divine energy, and trekkers who are not often very religious have reported a sense of calm and a feeling of divine power around.
If you were planning for Kedarkantha hiking adventure and have ever read about it, then you must have heard about Juda Ka Talab. The lateral meaning of Juda Ka Talab is a pond formed out of water coming from matted hair. But have you ever thought about how this massive pond formed and where the water came from? As we know, Lord Kedar, or Shiva, visited this place for meditation. As per legends, it is believed that this pond was formed out of water coming from Lord Shiva's matted hair. So the water of this frozen lake is treated equivalent to Ganga Jal as it also appears to be from the same source.
Anyway, whatever may be the truth, this frozen lake "Juda ka Talab" is situated at an altitude of 2700 feet and acts as a camping ground for all those trekking to Kedarkantha. This location is perfect for camping because of the water source and scenic beauty all around.
If you have done the Kedarkantha trekking earlier or have extra time and you want to visit some other places with trek to Kedarkantha summit, then here is a list of some famous places near Kedarkantha which you can visit with or without going to this trek. Manchala Mushafir recommends you keep some spare time and try to explore at least a few of these famous places. Believe it or not, this will be the cherry on your cake.

The Har ki Dun trek, which begins in Sankri village and is only a few kilometres away from the Kedarkantha snow trek, is another popular trek. Located at an altitude of 11,700 feet, this trek is most famous as a summer trek in the Garhwal Himalaya. This is also known as the "hanging valley" for its cradle-shaped mountains.
Camping and rafting at Rishikesh is another great option for anyone visiting Kedakantha trek and having some spare time. Rishikesh is a small town located just 45 km from Dehradun and is most famously known as Yoga Nagri. Other than pilgrimage, Rishikesh is also famous for the adventure sports it offers. Some of the adventure sports which you can do in Rishikesh are river rafting, bungee jumping, giant swinging, etc. If you have a limited budget, then Camping and rafting at Rishikesh could be the best option.
You must have heard of Kedarnath and have dreamt of visiting this place at least once. Kedarnath is both a trekking and a pilgrimage spot, so you can say that it is a perfect place for adventure and pilgrimage at the same time. If you have visited Kedarkantha trek earlier and wish to visit some were else similar to it then you can go for Kedarnath tour package with us. But keep note that Kedarnath temple remains open only for six months between May to October of November.
Tungnath is a 1000-year old Shiva temple, the highest in the world and is the highest among the Panch Kedars. Other temples are Rudranath, Madhyamaheshwar, Kalpeshwar and Kedarnath temple. It is another popular trekking destination in the Rudraprayag district, best known for the Chopta Tungnath Trek, which you can do with or without visiting Kedarkantha.
Located at an altitude of 3000 metres above sea level, the Nag Tibba trek is another famous trek near Dehradun which you can visit. On this trek, you will see a variety of beautiful flora and fauna as well as a stunning view of the deep valley around you. This is a short trek, so if you have some spare time on your hand, then you can definitely visit this site.
Dehradun has many tourist destinations that you can't afford to miss. Some of these are Robbers Cave, Rajaji National Park, Fun Valley water park, Haridwar etc. If you have some spare time after completing the hike to Kedarkantha peak, then you should definitely visit some or all of these places. This will make your trip even more interesting and fun.
One of the easiest winter treks with the grandest view all around the trails is Dayara Bugyal Trek. Located at an altitude of 3639 meters (11,938 feet) above sea level in the Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand. It is an idle trek for seasonal or first-time trekkers. You can check out our Dayara Bugyal trek package for more detail.
Do you know there is a pond in Uttarakhand where it is believed that Lord Brahma meditated for some time? Yes, it is known as Brahmatal. This is a must-see place in India. It's so beautiful that even God was unable to resist himself from visiting this place and spending some of the quality time of their lives on earth. The Brahmatal Trek is located at an altitude of 3733 meters (12250 feet) above sea level in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand and is graded as an easy to moderate difficulty level trek and ideal for both beginning and experienced trekkers alike.

The Kedarkantha summit is located at an altitude of 12,500 feet above sea level. Every day, you will walk 5–6 kilometres in 4-5 hours, with a gradual ascent and descent. This is the distance you have to cover on your feet with a backpack on your back. If you come to the Kedarkantha high altitude trekking route unprepared, then you are going to face difficulties like fatigue, shoulder aches, breathing problems, etc.
Here are a few exercises that you need to do for at least 30 days before your departure. This will help you cope with difficulties and successfully summit the trek.
The target is to cover 4–5 km in 35–40 minutes, which we have to achieve in 20–25 days. Start with a small distance and keep on increasing it as per your personal capacity. Don't forget to do proper stretching before and after the walk to keep your body safe from cramps.
Pushups will strengthen the muscles around your arms and shoulders. This will make it easier for you to carry your backpack on the Kedarkantha peak expedition .So the target of pushups is 3 sets of 10 repetitions. I know it may seem to be too much, but no worry. Proceed according to your personal capacity and gradually increase it. Don't stress yourself too much during preparation and give your body some time to adjust.
Lie down on your back, keeping your body straight and your arms behind your head. Now try to get up without removing your hand from your head or lifting your legs from the ground. Try to achieve a target of 3 sets with 10 repetitions each. In the beginning, you may face some difficulty, but don't worry, things will get better with practice. This exercise will help you strengthen your abs.
During trekking, our legs perform the most, so making them strong is more important than any other part. So let's begin with squats. You have to keep your hands behind your head and do situps. This will help you strengthen your quadriceps. So the target is to perform 3 sets with 10 repetitions each. Even though this is an easy exercise, don't go for too much of it on the first day only. This may generate lactic acid on your legs, resulting in severe pain. So go with a small number and keep on increasing as per your personal capacity.
Our next exercise for strengthening your legs is lunges. For lunges, you have to stand straight with your hands on your waist and one leg at least 1.5 to 2 feet ahead of your body. Now keep your body and go down on your legs without bending your body. This will strengthen your hamstrings and keep you fit during the trek. So the target is to do 3 sets with 10-15 repetitions each. Perform this exercise as per your personal capacity and don't forget to keep note of your daily progress. This will help you measure your progress and keep you motivated.
Planks are another great exercise to strengthen your shoulders and abs. For this, you have to lie down with your face toward the ground and lift your body off the ground with your arms in front of your face and your feet lifting your lower body on your fingers. The target is to perform this task for 60 to 90 seconds. This time may seem very small, but in the beginning, it would be tough to balance yourself for even 30 seconds. But don't get disheartened; you can always improve your performance.

Rishikesh station is well connected with the major destinations in India, and you can reach Rishikesh easily from any part of the country. From here, you need to take a bus or cab to Sankri. There are very few direct buses available on this route for Sankri, and those will be available only till 8 AM.

During winter, trails are mostly covered with knee-deep snow, and you may face chilling gusty winds and heavy to moderate snowfall during your trek. These factors make this trek a bit challenging, and that's why we keep it in the category of easy to moderate difficulty level .
