An Uncommon Journey in the Great Mountains
For adventure seekers, there is the Kedartal hike. It is for trekkers who have completed a significant number of Himalayan treks and are ready to challenge themselves. A very magnificent experience is offered in exchange for the challenging hike.
The journey ascends to the glacial Kedartal lake, which is surrounded by a tumult of formidable mountains. Renowned mountains from our nation, including Mt. Thalaysagar, Mt. Bhrigupanth, Manda Parvat, Mt. Jogin, and Mt. Gangotri, rise in front of you in this cauldron. You set up camp under the intimidating Mt. Thalaysagar and Mt. Bhrigupanth.
Few treks allow you to get so close to such massive mountains. Fewer still let you spend that much time.
