Mt. Kedar Dome Expedition Overview:

Starting the Kedar Dome expedition set up in the Gangotri ranges of the Garhwal Himalayas is a thrilling high-altitude expedition which does not require technical climbing skills. Sitting at a whopping altitude of 6999 meters this expedition is suits the climber seeking significant altitude gain. Beginning from Gangotri, the path moves through a variety of terrains that can be totally green with dense forests to snow covered glaciers. It is a perfect precursor for potential aspiring skiers preparing for the much steep peaks or those who wish to do ski-mountaineering. The first successful attempt was made by a Swiss team in 1947 simultaneously they were also successful in the Mt. Kedarnath.
