Kedarkantha Trek Itinerary

The walking distance can also be covered in 6 or 7 days. Since you don’t usually go solo hiking in this area, you’ll need to move according to your guide’s recommendations; however, the best time would be 5 days and the schedule for that is given below:

Day 1: Dehradun to Sankri

The base camp of the Kedarkantha trek is at Sankri which is about 186 kilometres from Dehradun. So the Kedarkantha trek starts from Sankri and you can reach there by both rail and road to Dehradun. Alternatively, you can arrive by plane and then take a local bus or hire a vehicle or taxi to get to the base camp area.

Day 2: Sankri to Juda Ka Taal

Your teacher will give you spikes and gaiters to wear during the trip for your safety. On the second day of the walk, you will have to cover a total distance of 5 kilometres from Sankri to Juda Ka Taal. You start by walking for 10 minutes to warm up. En route, you will pass Swargarohini and in the afternoon you will reach Juda ka Taal where you will spend the night.

Day 3: Juda Ka Taal to Kedarkantha base camp

On the third day, you will start forming Juda ka Taal and in the late evening, you will reach Kedarkantha base camp where you can enjoy the tranquillity of the beauty of nature and spend the night there after dinner. The altitude of this place is roughly 11,200 feet and the total trek on the third day will be 3 to 4 kilometres.

Day 4: Kedarkantha Base Camp to Kedarkantha

It will be a long day because you have to drive 6 kilometres. Spend some time exploring the surrounding areas before sitting down to lunch. En route, you will see Black Peak, Gangotri, Bandarpoonch and many other places before proceeding to Hargaon on the same day.

Day 5: Hargaon to Sankri to Dehradun

On the last day of your trip, you will return to Sankari and then Dehradun. The total distance to cover on the last day is also about 6 kilometres, so it will be a long and easy day. On your return, you will have the opportunity to visit some of the local communities and take a break between meals. When you get back to Sankri, take a day off and leave for Dehradun the next day.
