The YHAI Kedarkantha Trek

The Kedarkantha Trek was earlier known as Har-Ki-Doon trek,which was shortened for the convenience of trekkers. The Kedarkantha trek is an annual event in the YHAI national program calendar. The aim of this trek is toprovide the participants with an opportunity for adventure,see natural beauty of the Himalayas, especially of the remote villages of Garhwal Himalayas.

The Route of the Kedarkantha Trekking

The Kedar Kanthatrek is along a well designed route in the southern areas of Govind Wild life Sanctuary and NationalPark, located in the north of Uttrakhand. Kedar kantha trekis conducted during summers and in winters as well.

I had volunteered as a Camp Leader during 2007 and these are the pictures from that period. Much has changed since then I am sure but the mountains remain the same. Very soon I am gonna be here for sure.
