Kedarkantha Trek in the virgin snowscapes of Uttarakhand is one for the die-hard winter trekkers in the Garhwal Himalayas that never stops to attract trekkers with mesmerising views along the climb up to its summit point. There are many mythological stories surrounding Kedarkantha. It is believed that the temple Kedarnath was originally located here, but while disturbed by the villagers, the Pandavas went away from the place to the present Kedarnath location. Local people believe that the place is still the residing place of the lord. It gets so far after as the very middle of December when finally the snow of winter starts to set in. And it is not before April, that the chill in the air and frequent snowfall finally begins to wade off. More on the plus side of Kedarkantha winter trek– it’s sort of a small peak climb, with a way running deep through virgin pine forests in large parts, a few briefpatches of meadow walk, a freezing lake to camp by and a snow peak vista to take your breath away.
