9D8N Western Himalayas Trek Retreat

A relatively easy trek, suitable for beginners. Kedarkantha Peak is one of the few Himalayan treks best experienced in the winter. For those who would like to absorb the stillness of white snow-engulfed Himalayan landscapes from the depth of the alpine forests, Kedarkantha is the perfect place to be.
