Drive · Approx. 220 km · 9–10 hours
Your Kedarkantha journey begins in Dehradun, followed by a scenic drive towards Sankri via Mussoorie. Travel along winding mountain roads with views of forested hills, traditional settlements and stretches of the Yamuna Valley. As you enter Uttarkashi district, the Himalayan surroundings become increasingly prominent.

DAY 02 · Sankri to Juda Ka Talab
Trek · Approx. 4–5 km
After breakfast, leave Sankri and begin walking through village paths and pine and oak forests towards Juda Ka Talab. The trail gradually climbs, with forest clearings offering views of the surrounding hills. Your guide will set a comfortable pace and schedule breaks as needed. In winter, snow and icy patches can make the path more challenging, so suitable footwear and careful movement are essential.

Begin early, often before sunrise, to make the most of suitable conditions for the summit climb.

If visibility is good, the summit provides panoramic views of the surrounding Himalayan ranges, including the Swargarohini and Bandarpoonch ranges. After the permitted time at the top, start the descent carefully and continue towards Juda Ka Talab. This is a demanding trekking day, so allow time for breaks and recovery.

About Kedarkantha Trek
