Christmas and New Year Trips

Overview


Elevated at 12,500 ft, Kedarkantha is one of the majestic peaks of the great Himalayan range and a perfect destination for your Christmas and New Year adventure. This popular winter trek captivates hikers and trekkers from all over the country, making it suitable for both beginners and experts. This 4-night, 5-day trek is designed for those who cherish the serenity and excitement of nature, with its unpredictable trails and mystical valleys. Known for spectacular views of snow-capped mountains, the summit reveals ranges such as Black Peak, Swargarohini, Gangotri, and Yamunotri.

 

The name "Kedarkantha" translates to “The throat of Lord Shiva,” and its local myths and folklores enhance its charm, enriching your trekking experience. Our journey begins from Dehradun to the quaint village of Sankri, the base camp for this 20 km trek. After a night in our designated homestay or hotel, we’ll introduce ourselves and share stories before settling in for the night.

 

The next day starts with a briefing from our trek leader, followed by our first leg to Juda ka Taal. Here, we’ll enjoy a leisurely day at the campsite, savoring festive meals while soaking in the breathtaking views of the Swargarohini mountains. The following morning, we trek to the Kedarkantha base camp, located at 11,200 ft above sea level. After a hot lunch and some fun activities like snowball fights, we’ll prepare for an overnight stay at the base camp. The highlight of this Christmas and New Year trek is the early morning ascent to the Kedarkantha summit. Witnessing the sunrise after reaching the top is truly magical; it makes every ounce of exhaustion worthwhile, leaving you at peace.

 

What sets the Kedarkantha trek apart is its classification as a moderately difficult trek, making it accessible for beginners while rewarding all with mesmerizing 360-degree views of the great Himalayan ranges. The coldest spot along the route is Juda Ka Taal, where the lake freezes in winter, reflecting sunlight like diamonds and creating a golden illumination. The path is lined with picturesque views, and while snowfall can occur, it's a delightful surprise dependent on the weather. Trekkers often find themselves returning, drawn not just by the summit, but also by the local culture and cuisine. Be sure to try the famous Red Rice, homegrown in the Kedarkantha region, which keeps the body warm during the trek. This Christmas and New Year, join us for a memorable experience that blends natural beauty, cultural richness, and the thrill of trekking in the Himalayas!

JustWravel Review by Shyamlee Khanna

Shyamlee Khanna

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!

JustWravel Review by Disha Gupta

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.

I had been on Sar Pass Trek with Just Wravel Team. I had a v good experience. They gave clear and accurate information about the trek. This was my first Himalayan trek. Our on-ground team lead was Vishal Tiwari for the trek. He was v experienced and professional. He helped us with each and everything and was very humble. Got to learn a lot from him and the other trekkers in the group. Thank you Just Wravel Team for making Sar Pass trek happen for me. Hope to book another trek soon.
