About Kedarkantha Trek:
Kedarkantha Peak (3820m) is situated in Govind National Park of Western Garhwal. Surrounding
Tons river valley, with remote villages, snow capped mountain ranges in the horizon, and rich flora
and fauna of the national park makes the short and easy walk to the Kedarkantha peak a enjoyable
hiking experience. In clear weather, the renowned peaks like, Swargarohini, Bandarpoonch, Black
Peak can be seen from the summit. In winter or spring, the trail remains covered with fresh snow.
Snow patches amidst giant pine forest and snow covered meadows, in altitude as low as 10,000ft,
even in late April, makes this trek a unique one.
Access to Snakri (The trek base): Depending upon the trek members we can arrange a
pickup and drop either from Dehradun to Sankri and back. This will be shared by the team
members upon agreement and is approximately 6000 Rs one side and is divided by the number
of trekkers using the car. One such car can accommodate 6 to 8 people.
1) There are 2/3 privately operated buses from Dehradun (near DDN railway station on Gandhi
road) to Sankri. The 200 Km journey will take around 10/12 hours. The buses start at 5:30/6/7
am.
2) While returning from Sankri take the morning bus to Dehradun/Vikasnagar and reach by 7 pm.

nature at its best. However if any trekker needs a porter to carry his/her personal rucksack then
the same has to be informed us at least a week before starting the trek. The arrangement of the
