About This Trip
Kedarkantha is the winter trek that turns first-timers into lifelong trekkers. Snow-laden pine forests, frozen meadows, cozy campfires, and a summit push under a sky full of stars — it has everything that makes mountain magic.
Over six days you'll climb gradually to a 3,800m summit, waking before dawn for a final push that rewards you with a 360° panorama of the Greater Himalayas glowing pink at sunrise. It's challenging but achievable, and unforgettable in every way.
Small groups, expert leaders, warm tents and hot meals mean you focus on the experience while we handle the logistics.

Common Questions
FAQs
No prior high-altitude experience is required, but Kedarkantha is challenging due to snow and altitude. Solid fitness and 4 weeks of cardio prep make a big difference.
Temperatures can drop to -5°C to -10°C at night during winter. We provide quality tents and sleeping bags, and you'll bring warm layers (full kit list provided).
Safety comes first — summit attempts depend on weather and snow conditions on the day. Our leaders make the final call to keep everyone safe.
