Day 1

Shankari to Juda Ka Taal:
Before starting, it is important to know that kedarkantha Trek cannot be done without the help of a guide. It starts from a small village named Shankari. Juda ka talab is a lake formed in a place where lord shiva has been meditating and the water that fell from his juda (Jata) turned into a lake. After reaching this point there is an overnight stay for rest.

Day 3

To the Summit:
The journey towards the Summit is not less than a beautiful scene from a Hollywood movie. The trek starts in the mid night around 2.am. The journey is accompanied by the stars studded in the sky, fierce wind and flow of snow on face.  We can see the beautiful sunrise at 7 o'clock at the summit and enjoy the different Himalayan ranges altogether.
