Thanks Rishabh! Glad we can help! :)

@@Indiahikes Yes, looking forward to a trek with IH in early 2021 😁

Thank you so much Anukul, it was wonderful talking to you the other day. We're glad there are such ardent followers like you in the Indiahikes community who follow and share their thoughts with us! You'll surely have a great first trek experience in March. Looking forward to hearing your experience after it. :)

Thanks Kamz!

on ur own or any package ... and whr r u from?

There is a reason for this Arnab. While many of these treks existed, nobody knew about them. It was our teams that explored and documented them in detail, to bring the trek out to the world. As for Kedarkantha, it wasn't a "trek" at all before we located camps and a good route to the summit. You can read about how the trek came to be. The Untold Story Behind The Trek That Transformed Indian Trekking - indiahikes.com/treks-that-changed-indian-trekking-kedarkantha/#gref Our founder shares the story in this video as well - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fbqRrK-emsDMhaM.html

Hi Sanchi, there will be snow in the early December. Infact, just the right amount to make your whole trekking experience magical. We've recently written an article on what trekking in early December looks like. Please read it here to get an idea - indiahikes.com/december-treks

Hi Priyanka, yes we do organise treks, we take over 20,000 trekkers a year on high altitude treks. You can join us by signing up for any of our treks here - indiahikes.com/upcoming-treks/

That's correct Chaithra. :)

Hi Ajit, great to hear that you have done Deoriatal Chandrashila with us and had a great time:) Kedarkantha is of the same difficulty level as Deoriatal Chandrashila and you can definitely go ahead with this trek. But make sure you prepare well for the trek as in January, snow also adds to the difficulty.

Oh november is one of the clearest months to trek in. It is the autumn season and also the onset of winter. You'll see the clearest skies, lovely autumn shades of browns and oranges, and it will be cold as well (no snow, but you'll need 4 warm layers at least).

@@Indiahikes thank you very much, which month suits best for a decent snow trail?

How did it go??

Carry 3 full sleeve dry-fit T-shirts (preferably collared) and also you will need 1 pair of inner thermals, 2 light fleece layers, 1 light sweater and 1 padded jacket. For Details Please refer to the link indiahikes.com/kedarkantha-trek/#what-to-take

Yes Aakash. Our technical team will ensure you summit though it is peak winter. You should be able to make it unless there is a snow storm or a snow blizzard.

It is not closed or anything. But this region usually faces a lot of rain. It's better to do it before July or after August.

Hi Ishaan, it should be enough. These expert tips on how to take good photographs using just one lens will help you - indiahikes.com/trekphotography-using-one-lens/ It was written by our in house photographer. It has helped lots of trekkers. :)

@@Indiahikes thank you

Hi Gobinda, the chances of encountering snow in November is very less. Go during winter months that is from December - February, if you want to experience snow

Hi Yash, The first snowfall can happen at the end of Novemeber, first week of December. But in recent years, the weather has been erratic. However, you will find snow on the trails towards the end of December up until last week of February. The entire landscape and valley will be covered in white. Read more about what The Kedarkantha Trek is like through the seasons here - indiahikes.com/kedarkantha-trek#KYT

Hi Santanu, October is not the time to see snow. However, as it’s right after the monsoon, the entire trek comes alive. The meadows and forests are fresh and alive. The air is crisp and the views of the snow clad mountains are strikingly clear. On top of it all, it’ll be less crowded. But if you’re too specific on snow, you can go during winter, that is from December to February. Check for the dates here - indiahikes.com/kedarkantha-trek#view-dates

Hi Sneha, you can go for Kedarkantha in December. It's an ideal trek for beginners. Since, it's a winter season, trekking in snow adds to the difficulty. So make sure you put in efforts to prepare for the trek. You can go through this video to know how to get fit for a trek -kzfaq.info/get/bejne/orePf9uautm6coU.html

Same question bro

Bro, After your trip, Do give your feedback. I am planning this trek for the end of December. Let me know if the trip was worth it.

Snowfall starts during end of Nov, but only bu mid of Dec one can see accumulated snow on the trail

@@Indiahikes If I plan this trek from 12th-16th of December, will there be snow then ?

Hi Abhinav, early December is one of the best times to do winter trek. Early winter settings are just magical. Infact, to give you a better perspective, we have recently published an article about how the treks look like during first two weeks of December. Check it out here - indiahikes.com/december-treks

@@Indiahikes That's how the professionals reply...Thank you

That's a fantastic time to do the Kedarkantha trek, especially because you'll get extremely clear weather and you'll not have any crowd on the trek whatsoever. Go for it :)

Will we get snow in november also?

If you're going with an expert team, where you have technical support to cut through heavy snow, yes you can go ahead and do the trek. We organise the trek in these peak winter months too. You can take a look at it here - indiahikes.com/kedarkantha-trek/

If you have trekked with Indiahikes and would like to repeat the same trek, then no, we will not charge you for it. :) This has been the Indiahikes Philosophy ever since our organisation was founded in 2008.

Thankx

@@Indiahikes So it should be the same trek.. meaning, if winter trek is done then again you can do the same winter trek for free with Indiahikes.. Correct me if I'm wrong..😊

That's right. :) There are some thoughts and ideologies that we hold close to our hearts. 1. As trekkers, there are times when we have to let go of a trek midway. Sometimes we fall ill, or get hit by AMS or at times simply fatigue pulls us down. At other times bad weather plays spoilsport, or the trail is blocked. It can happen that your Trek Leader sends you down due to a safety or health issue. At Indiahikes we feel terrible when such an event happens. Should such a situation occur that you have to drop out from this trek, we want you to know that we feel as bad as you do. You can always come back another time and finish your adventure. For this you do not have to pay Indiahikes any money. 2. On the other hand, there are times when you fall in love with a trek. So much so that you want to do it again, perhaps see it in another season. If you ever desire to do a trek again, please do so. You don’t have to pay Indiahikes any money for repeating this trek. Just inform your Experience Coordinator who will guide you through a special internal process. Our only request: Just register for your trek in advance - you know how it is with our groups - they get booked in advance.

When you are trekking on your own, its required and depends on which trek also, But when you are trekking with an organization its not required

We wouldn't advice you to do that. Swathi herself wrote about her experience of going to KEdarkantha without fitness and what a big mistake it was. You can read about it here - indiahikes.com/regret-trek-kedarkantha-completing-rupin-pass/ It's generally not advisable to go on any high altitude trek without fitness (even if you're skinny). Work on your cardio for at least 30-45 days in advance before your trek.
