There are many reasons why it is a top-rated trek in the Garhwal Himalayas.  The most vital of them is this — the peak climb.

The peak climb of Kedarkantha is a very pleasing one. Starting from base camp, the peak appears large.  As you begin the trek in the early morning and steadily climb up the steep slope, the world opens up around you.

The climb is not easy.  The entire stretch is steadily steep.  As you reach closer to the peak, it gets tricky as well.  But the vast mountains of the upper Garhwal Himalayas keep you company until you finally reach the peak.

As we stretch ourselves and take in the scenic views of the Garhwal Himalayas from the peak, we feel a  strong sense of achievement and satisfaction. This is an unparalleled feeling.

Few treks offer the same adventure, making it famous among learners for its most delicate summit climb.
