The Kedarkantha Trek is a breathtaking winter journey through the Garhwal region of Uttarakhand, India. Famous for its easy access and stunning snow-covered landscapes, the trek leads adventurers through pine forests, frozen lakes, and open meadows before reaching the Kedarkantha Summit at 12,516 feet. Known as one of the best winter treks in India, it offers a perfect mix of adventure and tranquility, making it ideal for both beginners and experienced trekkers.
Throughout the trek, you'll traverse snow-clad trails, camp beside frozen lakes like Juda Ka Talab, and enjoy 360-degree panoramic views of Himalayan giants such as Swargarohini, Bandarpoonch, and Kalanag. The final ascent to the summit is particularly rewarding, especially at sunrise, when the peaks glow in shades of gold and pink. The Kedarkantha trek is not just about reaching the summit, but about the journey through serene forests and remote campsites, where trekkers can connect with nature in the pristine winter wilderness.
Camping under the starlit sky, surrounded by the silent beauty of snow-clad peaks, makes this trek a magical experience. The trek, best undertaken from December to March, provides an unforgettable adventure in one of the most beautiful winter settings in the Himalayas.

The best time for the Chadar Trek is from January to February, when the Zanskar River is completely frozen, providing the ideal conditions for walking on the ice. This is also the coldest period in Ladakh, ensuring the stability of the frozen path.
The Chadar Trek is considered moderate in terms of physical difficulty but challenging due to the extreme cold and icy terrain. Trekking in sub-zero temperatures, especially at night when it can drop to -30°C, demands both physical endurance and mental resilience.
The highest point of the Chadar Trek is at Nerak Waterfall, which is located at an altitude of 3,850 meters (12,631 feet). Proper acclimatization in Leh before starting the trek is essential to avoid altitude sickness.
The Chadar Trek covers a total distance of approximately 62 kilometers (round trip), with trekkers walking on the frozen Zanskar River for 7 days. The daily trekking distance ranges from 13 to 16 kilometers depending on the itinerary.
While prior trekking experience is not mandatory, it is highly recommended. Trekkers should be in good physical condition and prepared for the challenges of walking on ice and dealing with extremely low temperatures.
Accommodation includes hotel stays in Leh for acclimatization and camping in tents during the trek. The campsites are located along the Zanskar River, often near natural shelters like caves, where trekkers sleep under the stars in sub-zero conditions.
