Kedarkantha peak or top , situated in the mountains of the Tons river valley is a beautiful rounded peak and is a popular trekking destination most times of the year. Even in winters a trek to Kedarkantha is possible as it goes through dense forests and vast meadows making the trail walkable even in snow. The trek goes through the Govind national park and gives you ample time to soak in the flora and fauna of this protected area. Here is the route that most professional trekkers take. It is advised that due to remoteness and sheer wilderness of the areas, readers should employ services of professionals to take them on this venture.

The Youth hostel association of India (www.yhaindia.org) organises trek during the month of May.
