My pursuit of my Achan’s dream – the 4th trip – Dec 2017 – Kedarkantha Trek, 12500 ft.
Kedarkantha Trek is among the best winter trek of India. I had heard tales of snowfall and how beautiful the snow-filled mountains looked. My curiosity made me plan a winter trek during December with India Hikes . This trek had the prettiest campsite & with a breath-taking view from the Summit. I could get a perfect glimpse of Swargrohini, Black Peak, Bandarpoonch among the Gangotri and Yamunotri ranges.
I had an experience of a lifetime sliding in the snow and playing in the snow. Last minute train journey experience, Funny moments of To & Fro Drives to base camp. Hilarious incidents of Iphone discovery in Toilet pit, Storytelling at night all added to make the trek most memorable.
Imroz Syed and Ashwin Kumar who were the Trek Leader provided us with insights & stories about fitness, adventurous life, star gazing which is fresh in my memory even now. Stay at Sankri after the trek was the icing on the cake.
This trek made be just not like the snow filled mountains but loved them at the first sight itself.
to be continued….
Planning to condense the stories about all the hilarious incidents of this trip in a book soon.
