The Kedarkantha trek starts from Sankri village which is almost 220 km from Dehradun. There are many hotels, homestay & campsites available to stay at night but here is no ATM, no petrol pump and no wine shops and carry enough warm clothes with you for the trek and anyhow if you forget then you can get on rent here.

My Experience
Mine kedarkantha experience was great, this was my first winter trek and I experienced a lot like: walking in snow, camping on the snow, first time seen frozen lake, first time trek in the dark on almost -10 to -15 temperature and much more.
The Kedarkantha trek is a thrilling adventure that will leave you with memories to cherish for a lifetime. But only if you choose right company because on that much high altitude, it is not easy to carry everything by your own, have to book with any company. If the staff not supportive, guide was not responsible during the trek then your all over trip will be spoiled.
