Overview
The Queen of Winter Treks, Kedarkantha Trek is undoubtedly the top choice when you think of winter trekking, especially this Christmas and New Year season. Known as "Kedar Khand," which means "Section of Lord Shiva," Kedarkantha—meaning "Throat of Lord Shiva"—is steeped in legend, said to be where Lord Shiva meditated before moving to Kedarnath. Elevated at 12,500 ft, Kedarkantha is a breathtaking peak in the majestic Himalayas, attracting thousands of hikers and trekkers from across the country. This 4-night, 5-day trek is tailored for those who seek tranquility in nature’s unpredictable paths and mysterious valleys, making it perfect for both novice and expert trekkers.
Kedarkantha is renowned for its awe-inspiring views of snow-covered mountains. From the summit, you can catch fleeting glimpses of several ranges, including Black Peak, Swargarohini, Gangotri, and Yamunotri. JustWravel’s Kedarkantha Trek kicks off in Dehradun, then leads us through the charming village of Sankri, our base camp for this 20 km trek. After settling into our designated homestay or hotel, we’ll share stories and experiences before resting for the night.
On the second day, we’ll have a briefing from our trek leader before heading to our first checkpoint, Juda Ka Taal. We’ll spend the day at the campsite, enjoying festive meals while taking in the views of the Swargarohini ridges. The following day, we trek to the Kedarkantha base camp, situated at 11,200 ft. After a hot lunch and some fun activities like snowball fights, we’ll prepare for an overnight stay at the base camp.
One of the most memorable moments of this trek is the ascent to the Kedarkantha summit before dawn. Watching the sunrise from the top is a magical experience that will fill you with tranquility and make you forget your weariness. This trek is classified as moderately difficult, making it beginner-friendly while offering a stunning 360-degree view of the majestic Himalayan ranges. The coldest spot along the route is Juda Ka Taal, where the lake freezes in winter, shimmering like diamonds under the sun. As we continue, enchanting landscapes unfold, and if luck is on our side, we may experience a snowfall. The Kedarkantha trek attracts many who return not just for the summit but also for the rich local culture and delicious cuisine. Be sure to try the region’s famous red rice, known for its warming properties during winter. Please note that carrying electronic devices reliant on network connections is discouraged, as the signal fades before reaching Sankri Village, the trek's starting point. While Kedarkantha is accessible year-round, winter—especially December and January—is the preferred season to witness its pristine snow. This Christmas and New Year, join us for a magical experience in the heart of the Himalayas! The Kedarkantha Trek deserves a spot on your 2024 travel bucket list, so pack your bags and get ready for an unforgettable winter adventure!

The Kashmir Great Lake Trek with Just Wravel was an absolute dream come true. Words can't fully capture the emotions I felt while exploring the mesmerizing landscapes and immersing myself in the local culture. This journey touched my heart in ways I never expected, and I'm forever grateful to Just Wravel for creating such a profoundly moving experience. It's not just a trek; it's a piece of my soul forever embedded in those majestic mountains and serene lakes.

I went for a valley of flowers trek with Justwravel from July 15-20, 2023. I had an absolutely amazing experience with them. The trek leads were very experienced and ensured we had a safe and enjoyable experience. The team ensured to respond to our queries of the weather and assured us of a safe trek experience. I would recommend Justwravel!
Disha Gupta
Had an amazing experience while doing the Sar Pass trek solely because our trek leader Vishal was an amazing human being who understood the team we'll adapted to our capabilities. Some of us were slow, but that was never a problem for him, he just continued being his cheerful self and encouraged us to move on. Vishal also displayed proper planning and leadership skill.
The trek was breathtaking in itself although slightly challenging so I wouldn't recommend it for beginners. I would grade it as moderate coz of the steepness of it at certain places.
Also here's a pic of Vishal so you can ask for him on your trek.

And the Trip lead Vishal Tiwary was extremely kind and well versed with the mountains, he guided us really well and shared his best knowledge so that we can take care of our health and reach the summit in the best way possible. Ended the trip with lots of good memories and hope this journey continues!!
