The trail starts in a beautiful pine forest and moving forward the gradient of the trail gets easier ascending all the way to Juda Ka Taal. As we walk steadily in a zig zag manner, we clear up the forest to a large meadow midway. Have Your Packed Lunch over here.
Our Campsite is approximately an hour away from this point. As we move further, admire the beautiful Himalayan ranges.
By Afternoon, we reach Juda Ka Taal, where we set our tents for tonight's stay.
The first stop for our today's trek i.e. approx. 4 km is Juda Ka Talab, a lake beautifully surrounded by pine trees and it gets frozen during winters.
As we continue to walk further into the forest, our trail opens up to a beautiful meadow. It would take around 3 hours to reach us to our next campsite.
Reach our Kedarkantha base camp by early afternoon. After an early dinner, go to sleep early as we need to wake up quite early at 2:00 AM for our Kedarkantha summit.
Get ready for the big day i.e. The Summit Day.
Get your head torches on and follow your leader on the snow slopes. While on the way, you'll encounter tea and snack points. You can have your refreshments while returning from the summit. Our steep ascent to the summit would take approx. 2.5 hours. Kedarkantha peak is 12,500 ft and sometimes you'll find yourself in knee-deep snow.
Try to make it to the summit before sunrise to admire the beautiful 360-degree view of the majestic Himalayas.
The most prominent peaks visible from the top are Swargarohini, Black Peak, and Bandarpoonch peaks. You will also see Gangotri, Yamunotri, Har Ki Dun, and Rupin mountain ranges from the top.
Make your way back to the camp for a meal and from there we set for a new campsite called Hargaon post-lunch. Reach Hargaon by late afternoon. Overnight stay at Hargaon.
Wake up early in the morning to start our trail back to Sankari. It should take us 2-3 hours to reach Sankari from Hargaon as we walk through the pine forest.
