    Drive- about 200 km; Duration -8 to 9 (Hours), Altitude-6500 feet, Stay - Guest House Sankri, Starting Time-7 AM, Meals -Dinner only

    Report at Prince Chowk, near Dehradun Railway Station, by 6:30 AM; after a short briefing we leave at 7:00 AM. The drive passes Mussoorie, Purola (known for apple orchards) and Mori on the Tons river, with breakfast and lunch stops on the way.

    We reach Sankri (6,500 ft), the last road head for the treks of this valley, by early evening. Check in to the homestay, meet your trek leader, and watch the sun set behind Swargarohini before dinner.

    Day 2: Sankri to Juda Ka Talab

    Trek- 4 km; Duration- 5-6 (Hours), Altitude-9100 feet, Difficulty - Easy to Moderate, Stay -camp, Starting Time-8 AM, Meals -Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, tea and snacks

    After breakfast we start at 8:00 AM. The trail climbs steadily through pine and maple forest, under snow in peak winter, to Juda Ka Talab (9,100 ft), a small lake that freezes over in winter. It is a short day that helps you acclimatise before going higher.

    We camp by the lake, with hot tea or soup on arrival and dinner at camp.

    Day 3: Juda Ka Talab to Kedarkantha Base camp

    Trek- 4 km; Duration -5 to 6 (Hours), Altitude-11,250 feet, Difficulty- Moderate, Stay- camp (Kedarkantha base camp), Starting Time-8 AM, Meals – Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, tea and snacks

    A steeper 4 km climb through forest and, in winter, snow brings us to the base camp (11,250 ft) by afternoon. Water sources are few on this stretch, so carry at least two 750 ml bottles. The campsite faces Swargarohini, Bandarpoonch, Black Peak and Ranglana.

    Dinner is early. Before it, your trek leader briefs the group on the summit trail conditions, the start time, and what to wear and carry.

    Day 4: Kedarkantha base camp to the summit, then descend to Hargaon

    Trek- about 6 km (2.5 km up to the summit, about 3.5 km down to Hargaon); Duration- 7-9 (Hours), Altitude- 11,250 ft to 12,500 ft (3,810 m), then down to 8,900 ft (2,710 m), Difficulty- Moderate, Stay- Camp (Hargaon), Starting Time- 2 AM, Meals- Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, tea and snacks

    We start at 2:00 AM with head torches, after tea and a light snack, wearing every warm layer. The final climb is steep, narrow and usually snowy, and the trek leader sets a fixed turnaround time.

    Reaching the 12,500 ft summit around sunrise is the highlight of the trek, with a 360-degree view of the Garhwal peaks. After time at the top, we descend to the base camp for a hot brunch and continue down through the forest to our camp at Hargaon (8,900 ft), where the lower altitude makes for a warmer night.

    Day 5: Hargaon to Sankri and drive to Dehradun

    Trek- about 6 km (2-3 hours), Drive- about 200 km (8-9 hours), Altitude- 8,900 ft down to 6,500 ft, Starting Time- 6 AM, Meals- Breakfast only

    We leave Hargaon at 6:00 AM and walk down to Sankri in 2 to 3 hours, then drive back to Dehradun, reaching by about 6:00 to 7:00 PM depending on the road.

    Travel tip: book your onward train, bus or flight after 11:00 PM to leave enough margin.

    Kedarkantha Temple and the Juda Ka Talab Legend

    Kedarkantha means "throat of Lord Shiva", and locals believe Shiva meditated here; a small temple stands on the summit. Juda Ka Talab (9,100 ft), our first campsite, is said to have formed from water that fell from Shiva's matted hair (juda), and it freezes over in winter. Shiva temples at Sankri, Kotgaon and Gaichawan show how sacred the mountain is to local villages, so please trek quietly, keep the campsites clean and ask before photographing people or shrines. Read the full story of the legend behind Kedarkantha and Juda Ka Talab.

    Kedarkantha is one of the few high-altitude Himalayan treks in India that remains accessible for most parts of the year.

If you're comparing options, check out our guide to the best winter treks in Uttarakhand.

    December to February is the classic snow season, with fresh snowfall and knee-deep snow on the trail. March and April bring spring snow higher up and rhododendrons lower down. October and November are cool and dry, with the clearest mountain views. May and June are green and quiet with no snow, and July and August (monsoon) are best avoided. Our scheduled batches run from November to January.

    How to reach Kedarkantha

    Kedarkantha is in Uttarkashi district, and the trek starts from Sankri village, about 200 km (8-9 hours) by road from Dehradun. Our package includes the Dehradun-Sankri transport, so you only need to reach Dehradun (or join our Delhi bus).

    By Train: The nearest railway station is Dehradun, which is about 200 km from Sankri (the base camp for the Kedarkantha trek). Dehradun is well connected with major destinations across India, and is our regular pickup point. Rishikesh railway station is also well connected and can be used as an alternative. From either station, you will need to take a bus or cab to Sankri - there are very few direct buses on this route, and those run only till 8 AM.

    By Air: The nearest airport to Kedarkantha is in Dehradun (Jolly Grant Airport). You will get direct flights from all major cities like New Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai, Mumbai, Kolkata, etc. If you are coming from any other city, then you can take a flight to Dehradun with a break in New Delhi. Or you can fly till Delhi and then book our package from New Delhi to cover the remaining distance by road. New Delhi is about 450 kms away from Sankri (the base camp for the trekking to Kedarkantha peak).

    By Road: For the snow trek to Kedarkantha peak, you have to first reach Sankri, the last motorable point for this trek. Sankri is about 200 km away from the state capital, Dehradun. There are numerous bus and taxi options up to Dehradun, but there are very few options from Dehradun to Sankri. If you are planning to reach Dehradun, then it's recommended to check available options of transport before leaving your residence.

    "I would like to sincerely thank Team Manchala Mushafir (Especially Hema) for well-co-ordinated Char Dham Tour in May 2026 (14th May - 22 May) for our 20 people team: • Travel Arrangements: The logistics were seamless, from transport to accommodation. Timely pickups and comfortable stays made all of us stress-free. You promised us accommodation within 100 meters of the Kedarnath Temple, and you made it happen. Driver (Vishal) was exceptionally calm and composed gentleman, whose humility and kindness made a lasting impression on us. He deserves special recognition. • Guidance & Support: The local guide (Jagdish) was very supportive, and helped us through out the Journey. He even took care of elderly people at every stage. We felt well looked after. • Overall Experience: The trip was memorable, spiritually enriching, and well-executed. It exceeded our expectations and allowed us to focus fully on the pilgrimage without worrying about arrangements. The experience will stay with us forever, both in spirit and in memory. I appreciate dedication of Your entire Team and would be happy to recommend your services to others planning a similar journey. Looking forward to engaging with you again for future travels. Thank You !!!"

    "🌟 Chopta–Tungnath Trek with Manchala Mushafir – A Memorable Experience! We recently did the Chopta–Tungnath trek with Manchala Mushafir, and it was nothing short of amazing! From the moment our journey started, everything was well-organized and perfectly managed. 🏔️ Chopta, known as the ‘Mini Switzerland of India’, truly lived up to the name — serene, scenic, and peaceful. The trek to Tungnath, the highest Shiva temple in the world, was a bit challenging but totally worth it. The view from Chandrashila top was surreal — 360-degree Himalayan ranges covered in snow. Breathtaking! 🏕️ Our stay in Chopta was in proper cottages with clean rooms, hot water, and good food – a rare find at such heights. The local guide provided by Manchala Mushafir was experienced, friendly, and kept the group motivated throughout the trek What stood out the most was the personal touch from the Manchala Mushafir team – they weren’t just organizers, they felt like co-travelers who genuinely cared. 💯 Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore Uttarakhand's beauty in comfort and good company. Trust me, this trip is going to stay in your heart for a long time!"

    Kedarkantha trek falls in easy to moderate himalayan trek category. The entire trek covers about 20 km over 4 trekking days, so it can be completed comfortably with 4 to 5 hours trek a day. However, kedarkantha being the most famous winter trek, is mostly covered in snow during trekking months and going up the kedarkantha peak may get quite challenging if there are wind storms. So, you need a good guide and equipments to keep you safe and also be mentally and physically robust.

    A complete package for Kedarkantha snow trek of 5D/4N starts from ₹5,500 per person. The actual cost of Kedarkantha snow trek depends upon your pickup location, number of persons you are sharing your tent with i.e double/triple/quad sharing, and the group size you book with.

    The total trek distance is about 20 km, with quite steep slopes at few places and not so steep at others. So, going slowly with 4-5 hrs trek daily, you can easily complete trek to Kedarkantha peak in 5 days. However, kedarkantha hiking adventure is one of the most beautiful trek and it's the journey through pine woods surrounded with mighty mountains that makes it beautiful. so make sure to utilise this trek as a moment to be amidst nature in it's pristine form and not rush through it to just complete the trek.

    Kedarkantha is one of the best winter trek for beginners. With easy to moderate gradient, a short distance of about 20 km and a 5-day duration, kedarkantha is best trek for beginners to get exposure to himalayan trek.

    If you have very good knowledge of himalayan trek and you are a frequent trekker then certainly you can make it without a guide.
