The trek is famous for its summit and is rightly so. The first is that this is a proper summit marked by a cairn. Of all the 12,500 ft treks in the Himalayas, Kedarkantha is one of the two summit treks.

The Kedarkantha trek is one of the best winter treks in India. Naturally, the best time to visit Kedarkantha is in Winter during December to March, although the trek is accessible throughout the year except during monsoons.

360-degree views of the Himalayas: The views from the top of Kedarkantha are like no other. You don't just get to see famous peaks like Bandarpoonch, Swargarohini, Kalanag, Gangotri and Yamunotri range but you also get to see hundreds of unnamed virgin peaks all around you.
