The Kedarkantha trek is considered a moderately challenging trek based on the experience of the trekkers and the terrain sections, making it suitable for experienced trekkers as well as beginners. The elevation of the trail increases gradually and follows a well-defined trail that is not too technical, either. The maximum elevation is only 12,500 ft. However, the risk of AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness) is not zero, so it is important to be prepared with your AMS medicines and other essentials.
Although it does not require extreme physical fitness, and beginners can manage it with some prerequisites, there are a few notes about the difficulty factors to keep in mind. For instance, the last section, when trekkers climb to the summit, is a steep climb, heavy snowfall in extreme winters and AMS and related diseases due to low levels of oxygen at such a high altitude.
These three major factors add to the difficulty of the trail and classify this trek as a ‘moderate level trek’. Physical preparation before starting the trek is important to deal with some of these difficulty factors, like the steep climb to the summit and heavy snowfall that makes each step more challenging. Do cardio, body weight exercises, core exercises, balance training and yoga to improve physical fitness.
During the peak winter season, the temperature drops below zero at night and remains between 5 to 15 degrees Celsius during the day, so to deal with the extreme weather, it is necessary to be prepared with suitable gear like padded jackets, fleeces and thermal inners. Good physical fitness and following safety precautions and protocols during the trek will help you manage all the difficult sections as much as possible.
This trek is generally accessible for 9–10 months of the year. However, it is not recommended to trek during the monsoon months of July and August due to incessant rains, which can make the trek risky. The most popular time to visit Kedarkantha Trek is in the winter months of December and January.
During these months, heavy traffic of trekkers can be seen on the trail. During peak winters, sometimes there is continuous snowfall, and walking on the path becomes quite difficult due to the fresh snow. At this time, excessive snowfall in Kedarkantha may cause the trek to be closed for a few days in the last week of December and the first week of January.
But overall, the trek route is considered safe during all other times of the year, except the monsoon.

Although it is mostly cloudy during this season, if you are lucky and the sky clears, the snow-covered landscapes become even more stunning with a bright white hue that is sure to bring you immense pleasure.
While the period from December to February is the best time to go on this trek, the weather conditions can affect trekkers if they are not adequately prepared. The temperature during this time ranges from 15 to 5 °C during the day and 0 to -5 °C at night. To withstand this harsh weather, one should be prepared with at least four layers of clothing, especially at Kedarkantha Basecamp (11,250 feet) and higher altitudes, where the temperature can drop to -10 °C and even lower.
In December, Many trekkers plan their trip during the Christmas and New Year's holidays. By the second week of December, snow usually covers the landscape up to the base camp of Kedarkantha Trek. Also, there is some snow at Juda Ka Talab. By the end of December, the landscape around the trail turns into a winter wonderland, with tall pine trees and shrubs covered in thick snow. Campsites are whitewashed under a snow blanket. Temperatures drop below 0 degrees Celsius in the month of December, and Juda Ka Talab freezes completely, making it possible to walk on the frozen lake.

The route usually follows this sequence: Sankri → Juda Ka Talab → Kedarkantha Base Camp → Kedarkantha → Hargaon → Sankri. This route is well plotted on a map showing how all these campsites or stop points relate to each other in terms of distance and elevation gain & loss.
If you are planning to visit Kedarkantha Trek, you have to be aware of the route and ways of traveling. To start the Trek, you first have to reach Dehradun and then continue your journey towards the base camp of the trek. Trekkers should be aware that Sankri village serves as the basecamp of this Trek.
Traveling to Dehradun:
There are three ways to reach Dehradun and all of them are mentioned here:
-
By Air:
Many people go with the by-air option, which is to travel by flight. This is costly but for sure it saves a lot of time. If you travel by flight directly to Dehradun, you will land at Jolly Grant Airport. Dehradun bus stand is 30 km away from the airport and after reaching the airport, you need to book a cab to reach the Dehradun bus stand. -
By Road:
If you want to travel by road, you can take Volvo and other buses too. Traveling through the road can take more time compared to a flight, however, this may cost you less than the flight. If you travel by road, you will directly reach the Dehradun bus station, and from there, you can get a bus to travel further. -
By Train:
You can reach Dehradun by train. The Nanda Devi Express, or Kota Express, departs from Kota at 5:55 p.m. and reaches Dehradun the next morning at 5:45 a.m. However, this timing coincides with the departure time of buses and taxis leaving Dehradun for Sankri early in the morning.
Dehradun to the basecamp Sankri:
Make sure you reach the base camp by 10 a.m. so you can start your trek on time. The distance from Dehradun to Sankri is 190 km, so it is suggested to arrive a day prior for an overnight stay in Sankri.
-
Private and Govt. buses:
To reach Sankri from Dehradun, there are both Govt. and private buses, so you can choose whichever you prefer. However, to reach Sankri, the time distance is 7 to 8 hours, and departure from Dehradun before 8 am is essential because after 8 am there are no direct vehicles to reach Sankri. -
Regular Taxis and cabs:
The second option you have is to opt for a taxi or cab from Dehradun to Sankri. Moreover, the taxis provide you services up to Purola, and from Purola, you can have another bus or taxi to reach Sankri basecamp.
Choose whichever way is comfortable for you, plan the Kedarkantha Trek accordingly and enjoy the mesmerising views of the Himalayas.

The route is scenic and takes you through a dense pine forest, filling the air with the sweet aroma of pines. After driving through the forests, you’ll reach Mori, where the Tons River joins you on the route. The Tons River is the biggest tributary of Yamuna and is well-known for rafting activities. The 190 km long drive typically takes 8-9 hours to complete, so it’s advisable to start early to reach Sankri by evening. You’ll spend the night at a guesthouse before starting your hike the next day.
Day 2: Sankri to Juda Ka Talab (2,774 m): 4 km trek in 3 to 4 hours
We start our trek towards Juda Ka Talab early in the morning after breakfast from Sankri. The trek is an eventful one as we pass through local villages, such as Saud, and encounter kids heading to school and women starting their daily chores. The trail takes us through a dense pine forest, which gradually steepens until we reach a ridge. After walking on the ridge for a while, the trail evens out and widens. The thick forest provides a cool environment, shielding us from the sun’s heat. Finally, we reach the famous Juda Ka Talab, a small lake adorned with three floating landmasses. We camp by the lake, savoring a starry dinner.
Day 3: Juda Ka Talab to Kedarkantha Base Camp (3,429 m): 4 km in 3 hours
From Juda Ka Talab, the trail leads deeper into dense pine forests until reaching a meadow with shepherd’s huts. Summit Climbing further for another thousand feet, trekkers will finally reach the Kedarkantha base camp, taking around 2-3 hours to complete. The trail from Juda Ka Talab to the base camp is incredibly stunning, providing an ideal setting for photographers and nature enthusiasts alike. Despite being a bit colder due to the lack of insulation, the base camp offers panoramic views of the famous peaks of Uttarakhand, making it an ideal spot for camping.
Day 4: Kedarkantha base camp to Kedarkantha Summit (3,810 m) and back to Hargaon (2,713 m): 8 km in 5-6 hours
Day 4 is the day you’ve been waiting for! The trek to the summit from the base camp is not long, and upon reaching the top, you’ll be rewarded with a jaw-dropping 360-degree view of the Uttarakhand peaks, the Chaainsheel Pass, and the Kailash ranges of Himachal. You can even see the Har Ki Dun valley below. The Kedarkantha summit is marked by an arrangement of stones with a Trishul pointing to the sky. Legend has it that the peak was meant to be the original Kedarnath temple, but Lord Shiva, who was disguised as a cow hiding from the Pandavas, was disturbed during meditation by the villagers. The interruption made him change his location to the present Kedarnath temple.
After spending time on the summit, we hike back to the base camp and head towards Hargaon (2 km trail) post-lunch. Hargaon is a large camping area en route to Sankri, where we will spend the night before bidding farewell to this beautiful place.
Day 5: Hargaon to Sankri: 4 km trek in 2 to 3 hours
Today is the final day of our trek and we will descend from Kedarkantha to Sankri, which is a 4 km trek taking 2-3 hours. Once we reach Sankri, you can take the rest of the day to explore the charming village and nearby villages like Gangad and Osla, which are known for their warm hospitality and traditional Pahari culture. Sankri is also the last road head to the Govind Balabh Pant Wildlife Sanctuary.
Day 6: Sankri to Dehradun: 187 km drive in 7 to 8 hours
Going back home is always a bittersweet moment, but the journey is made easier by taking the same picturesque road back to Dehradun. As we leave behind the dense pine forests and descend towards the city, the landscape slowly changes and opens up into wider roads. Finally, we arrive in the bustling city, bidding farewell to the serene mountains and valleys of Uttarakhand.

The distance from Delhi to Kedarkantha is about 433 km. It takes about 11 to 12 hours of driving from Delhi to Sankri and 10 km of trekking from Sankri to Kedarkantha Peak. There are three ways to reach the Sankri trek from Delhi. Kedarkantha from Delhi by Road:- Bus: Direct buses run between Delhi and Dehradun.
They depart from the central bus station in Delhi and arrive at the main depot in Dehradun. Upon reaching Dehradun, you can board another bus that will take you directly to Sankri. After arriving in Sankri, you’ll need to start a 10 km trek to reach Kedarkantha Peak, a journey that typically spans 1 to 2 days. Kedarkantha from Delhi by Air:- To reach Kedarkantha from Delhi by air, simply catch a direct flight from Delhi Airport to Jolly Grant Airport in Dehradun.
Upon arrival at Jolly Grant Airport, you’ll find a multitude of taxi services available at the exit, ready to take you to Dehradun. From Dehradun to Sankri drive takes around 7 to 8 hrs. Upon reaching Dehradun, you can board another bus that will take you directly to Sankri.
After arriving in Sankri, you’ll need to start a 10 km trek to reach Kedarkantha Peak, a journey that typically spans 1 to 2 days. Kedarkantha from Delhi by Rail:- It’s recommended to opt for the overnight Kota Express, also known as Nanda Devi Express, departing at 11:50 PM, and arriving in Dehradun at 5:45 AM, aligning with other transportation schedules from Dehradun to Sankri.
Yes, you can go for the Kedarkantha trek in December. It’s a popular winter trek in India. From December to March, the trek is all covered in snow, making it very special. But, it can be a bit hard, especially if you’re new to trekking.
Kedarkantha weather in December might suddenly change, and there could be a lot of snow and strong winds. The paths can also be slippery. If you’re thinking of going on this trek in December, it’s really important to be well-prepared and go with a good trekking group. Bring warm clothes, strong shoes, and other things you’ll need for trekking.
To get to Kedarkantha from Dehradun, first, you need to reach Sankri. Once you arrive in Sankri, begin the trek to Kedarkantha summit, which is approximately 10 km away from Sankri. How to Reach Sankri from Dehradun:- Every morning, a limited number of shared cabs and buses depart for Sankri from the vicinity of Dehradun Railway Station. Govt. Buses and Private Buses- Only one government bus departs from Dehradun Railway Station to Sankri at 8:00 am. Additionally, two private buses leave around 7:00 am from just outside the Dehradun Railway Station heading to Sankri town.
The fare for this journey is approximately Rs. 400 per person, which is roughly the same for both the government and private buses. Private Cab or Taxies- You can easily locate shared taxis near Hotel Milan or Hotel Grand, merely a 2-3 minute walk from Dehradun Railway Station. These taxis operate up to Purola, which is 54 kilometers away from Sankri.
The journey lasts approximately 5 to 6 hours, with a fare of Rs. 400. From Purola, you’ll find shared cabs to take you directly to Sankri. However, it’s crucial to bear in mind that these cabs typically depart before noon. Hence, plan to reach Purola in the morning if you choose this route.
The cab fare from Purola to Sankri ranges from 200 to 300 rupees. (This fare is applicable only when the taxi is full of passengers; otherwise, the cost may vary based on the number of participants.) In case you miss the buses or taxis from Dehradun for any reason, or due to personal preference, you also have the option to book a private taxi from the same location or near Prince Chowk, approximately 100 meters away from the Railway Station.
This would amount to approximately Rs. 6,000 to Rs. 7,000 for booking a Maxx or Bolero. Shared or Private Vehicle arranged by Himalaya Shelter- Himalaya Shelter offers both shared and private transport services directly to Sankri for trekkers.
Please note that for shared vehicles, we have fixed departure dates, and it is advisable to book your seats at least a week in advance of the departure from Dehradun. We also offer pickup and drop facilities for your hotel stay in Dehradun.
The best time for Kedarkantha Trek is during the winter months of December to February as the trail to Kedarkantha is completely covered with snow, offering a stunning view of the beautiful landscape and snow-capped mountains of Garhwal Himalayas around the trail. Mt. Swargarohini, Mt. Bandarpunch, and Black Peak are some of the major mountains that look stunning in winter.
Anyone with a moderate level of physical fitness can easily complete the Kedarkantha trek during this time. This period is more suitable for beginners as the trail can be successfully completed even in heavy snow. This period is perfect for beginners to really enjoy the immense pleasure of their first experience on snow-covered landscapes at a high altitude.
The climate is generally pleasant and it rarely rains or snowsfall, except that there can be heavy snowfall at sometimes. December is the coldest month when the temperature is often below zero and the rest of the winter months have an average temperature of 15 to 5 degree Celsius during the day and 0 to -5 degree Celsius at night.
March to April is best suited for trekkers who want to trek in the snow-clad region as well as enjoy the blooming flowers and rhododendrons making it a perfect combination of winter and spring scenery.
Kedarkantha trek in winter is considered moderately difficult, but the well-defined trail and gradual ascent make it a good option for beginners. However, without proper gear and basic knowledge of the trail, even an easy trek can become highly challenging and risky. Below are some of the major difficulty points and skills that can be considered to help reduce the overall difficulty of Kedarkantha trek in winter, especially for beginners:
Snow-covered trails with slippery patches and vergas: Wear waterproof hiking boots, gaiters and micro-spikes on snowy trails and follow marked footprints. Also use trekking poles for support. Cold temperatures in winter: Be prepared with 5 layers of clothing as the temperature can drop below zero. Cold weather conditions and heavy snowfall: Make sure you have appropriate gear like ponchos, gloves, mufflers and extra socks.
Also, keep a polythene bag to ensure your stuff stays dry in the backpack. Steep climb while reaching the summit: Keep your walking pace consistent and move slowly. Also do some general warm-up before trekking. Multiple trails increase the risk of getting lost:
Always follow the guide and obey their instructions. Trekking with a guide also ensures safety and better way management on snow-covered trails. Feeling a little hungry while hiking: Feeling a little hungry while hiking is not a big problem, but it can reduce your overall trek experience. So, carry chocolate bars, nuts and other energy snacks to maintain your energy levels on the trail.
Yes, AMS can be expected as the Kedarkantha Trek goes up to approximately 12,500 feet (3,800 meters) above sea level. For most trekkers, this altitude is well attainable. However, those who are sensitive to changes in altitude might face mild symptoms of AMS such as headaches, confusion, vomiting, difficulty in sleeping, dizziness, nausea, and undue tiredness.
It should be understood that having a high physical fitness level does not minimize the likelihood of getting AMS because altitude sickness results from variations in atmospheric pressure. To minimize the risk of AMS, follow these tips: Ascend Gradually: Staying away from steep vertical gain is good advice to follow. Travel with care if you want to avoid the development of AMS; the altitude should be changed gradually by no more than 300 m per day. Stay Hydrated:
Increase the intake of water to the body to reduce the viscosity of the blood, thus facilitating the increased transport of oxygen to the tissues at higher altitudes. Avoid Alcohol and Caffeine: Both could dehydrate your body, limit blood flow, and enhance your probability of getting sick.
Acclimatize Properly: Take appropriate breaks, apply some form of stretching routines, and also try to understand the signs of your body. If the symptoms do not vanish, one should start to descend as fast as possible, possibly not waiting for the onset of serious problems. To know more about AMS, read this blog: Acute Mountain Sickness.
Generally, the cost ranges from Rs. 6,000/- to Rs. 12,000 per person. Choosing cheaper rates tends to be more likely choosing bad services and frauds. Getting the best services at the best price is a skill. To ensure you are getting the best Kedarkantha Trek cost, consider the following tips:
Compare Prices: Before you book online, always compare the prices offered by different trekking companies so that you can get the best price. It is important to compare the services that are mandatory to be included in the trek package. Book in Advance:
Kedarkantha treks should always be planned and booked well in advance of the season, especially during winters, which is the peak time. Due to the high demand, trekking groups often fill up quickly, making it difficult to find booking tickets.
Booking in advance can also help you secure early bird discounts on the standard trek cost. Look for Package Inclusions: It is important to check the package inclusions carefully because sometimes the trek cost is cheaper due to the hidden cost for different types of services that should be included in the package like transportation from Dehradun to Dehradun (depand on package type ), lunch, accommodation, tea-snacks, hot water, oxygen cylinder, etc.
So, always look at the inclusion of services while getting the cheapest price for Kedarkantha trek. Group Discounts: Remember, there could be certain offer which are available in groups or just a certain number of discounts. Read Reviews:
You should read some customer reviews who have had previous experience with the trekking company so that you are assured that the company offers value for money and also meets high standards.
Himalaya Shelter is one of the best trekking operators in India known for high quality services and budget prices. This quality service is reflected in the feedback and reviews given by previous visitors and customers. Consult Local Experts and Tour Operator: Local trekking agencies or local guides are usually cheaper and they are better acquainted with the trekking trails.
Kedarkantha trek is one of the best winter treks in India, which is why there are many companies selling this trek online, but only a few companies like Himalaya Shelter are tour providers instead of outsourcing. By following these steps, you can identify the best package cost that is suitable for the Kedarkantha Trek.
The height of the Kedarkantha is 12,500 feet (3,810 meters) above sea level, making it the highest elevation point on the entire trail of the Kedarkantha Trek. The trek route starts from Sankri village (1,950 meters) and takes about 2 to 3 days to reach the summit, with an ascent covering a total distance of 10 km one way.
The trail to the Kedarkantha passes through dense forests of Govind Wildlife Sanctuary & National Park and gradually leads to the Kedarkantha Basecamp at an altitude of 11,250 feet (3,429 meters). Then, to reach the highest point of the trek from here, it’s a steep climb (not-technical) with an elevation gain of 1,250 feet (381 meters), which covers approximately a 3 km uphill trek to the Kedarkantha summit.

Himalaya Shelter is an excellent trekking company. The staff was extremely cooperative, and the rooms were clean and hygienic. The food was outstanding — easily 5 stars. Our trek leader, Saurabh, was highly experienced and continuously guided, motivated, and supported us throughout the trek. The Kedarkantha trek itself was an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experience that gave us a bag full of memories and valuable life lessons. If you’re looking for a reliable and well-organized trekking company, Himalaya Shelter is a great choice.
Archish Vasu
Recently I had an amazing experience on the Kedarkantha Winter Trek with Himalayan Shelter, and a big part of that was thanks to Tanisha Chauhan our trek lead. From the very beginning, she was extremely helpful, professional, and supportive. She guided us clearly with all the trek details, preparations, and logistics, which made the entire journey smooth and stress-free. During the trek, her coordination and constant encouragement really stood out, especially in the challenging winter conditions. Tanisha’s positive attitude, dedication, and care for every trekker made this experience truly memorable. I’m very grateful to her and highly recommend Himalayan Shelter—and especially Tanisha—for anyone planning a Himalayan trek.
Manish Kukreja
Yes, ~12,000 ft / ~3,600 m! We did it with the exceptional team at Himalaya Shelter. We are a family of four with two boys (11 and 12 years old), and this was our first Himalayan trek at Dayara Bugyal. We were picked up from Dehradun Airport and driven to Uttarkashi, where we stayed for a night. The next day, we drove to Raithal and started our trek to the Gui campsite, spending the night in alpine tents at freezing temperatures of -1°C. On the second day, we walked about 8 hours in total and scaled the highest point of Dayara Bugyal (~12,000 ft). That evening, our cook, Subhash ji, presented us with a surprise cake during dinner to celebrate the moment. The night was even colder at -4°C, and the peaks saw some snowfall. On the third day, we descended to Raithal and drove back to Uttarkashi for the night. On the final day, Bim (Sasi) and the Himalaya Shelter team dropped us off in Rishikesh to continue our adventures in Dev Bhoomi, Uttarakhand. We would like to thank the entire Himalaya Shelter team: Bachan ji and Tushar for booking and operational assistance; Tanisha, our trek leader, for guiding us and being patient and encouraging with our children; Sonu for providing overall guidance, care, and sharing his experience throughout the journey; and Subhash ji for the amazing, thoughtful, and yummy food, as well as accommodating our requests. Finally, not to forget Bim (Sasi)—a safe pair of hands behind the wheel who made the whole trip safe and comfortable. Thank you! We hope to continue this relationship with another adventure—maybe Har Ki Dun?!
Devanand Jethanandani
It was very wonderful trekking experience of Ancha Trek we had with Himalay Shelter.. Very delicious food we enjoyed on the entire trip and thanks to the cook Bijay Singh Overall experience was memorable one.
Jitendra Teelani
We completed the Ancha Top trek with Himalayan Shelter, and overall it was a great experience. The arrangements were well managed and the service was amazing. A special mention for the food — it was truly awesome, which made the trek even more enjoyable in such cold conditions. Huge thanks to Vijay (MAMA) for the delicious food and warm hospitality 🙏 — it really felt like home on the mountains. However, we would like to share one concern. We were a group of 8 people, and unfortunately, we felt that the guide Mukesh was mostly involved with one foreigner guest, due to which our group was often left on its own. This affected our overall experience and group coordination. We hope Himalayan Shelter will look into this and ensure equal attention and support to all trekkers in a group. Overall, a memorable trek with great food and service, with scope for improvement in guiding support.

Anagha Ghorpadkar
We had a fantastic trek with Himalayan Shelter in dec 2025. We were a group of 14 people. Right from the time we reached Dehradun and until our drop back to Rishikesh, the entire journey was very well arranged. Timely pick up, comfortable road trip in a TT to Raithal, trek preparations, the lovely Pahadi food, comfortable stay at Raithal was just awesome. Through the trek, Mr Bachan Rana and Mr. Abhimanyu were very enthusiastic and encouraging. Rocky was a hero for us- always with a smile and serving us yumm food. The kids loved him as he gave them super maggi 😊. Anything we asked Rocky said - “ho Jayega” which put all our questions to rest. Our first Himalayan trek and it was made memorable with Himalayan Shelters. They made it comfortable as home in the Himalayas 😊. Looking forward to more adventures with them.

They were also very generous and supportive throughout the trek, always ready to help and motivate everyone. Thanks to their excellent planning, guidance, and constant encouragement, the trek never felt exhausting at all. Safety, comfort, and group morale were clearly their top priorities. I felt well taken care of at every step.
Iftiker Alom
This trek turned out to be completely unexpected in the best possible way. Although everything was unplanned, the entire journey unfolded beautifully and was full of pleasant surprises. Bachan Da’s storytelling and the way he shared his experiences throughout the trek made the journey truly special, it was engaging, warm, and memorable. The homestay arrangements were excellent comfortable, welcoming, and well managed. The service provided throughout the trek was outstanding, and the care and support from both Bachan Da and Rocky Da were genuinely exceptional. Their company made the trek even more enjoyable and reassuring. The summit was breathtakingly beautiful and absolutely worth the effort. Both the journey and the destination were remarkably scenic and enriching. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience, and I would highly recommend trekking with them to anyone looking for a meaningful and well guided adventure.

Just completed a trek to Dayara Bugyal with HimalayaShelter. We had a wonderful experience thanks to the team. Not only were the arrangements top-notch, but their flexibility with our plan changes, genuine warmth, encouragement, and of course, the yummy hot food served lovingly made it all the more special. Highly recommend Himalaya Shelter.

Trust Bachchan and his team at Himalaya Shelter for a well-organized, comfortable trek. We did Dayara Bugiyal with them in December 2025 and would surely love to come back for more.
Vineet Dravid
We trekked with Himalaya Shelter in Dec '25. The entire trek was excellently organised. Attention to detail was commendable and every possibility was accounted for by the team. The entire team was committed and worked from 4 to 10 to ensure the trek was incident free and pleasurable. Special mention to their commitment to the environment. They minimised waste and there was no plastic throughout the trek. Highly recommended!

We organized our team offsite for 23 member team through Himalayan Shelter, and the experience was absolutely outstanding. From start to finish, everything was managed with great care and attention to detail. Tushar and Bachan added thoughtful personal touches throughout the journey, ensuring that every small requirement was taken care of during our trek from Chopta to Chandrashila. Our CEO and CTO joined us from the US, and they thoroughly enjoyed every bit of the experience, which speaks volumes about the quality of planning and execution. The food and accommodation were extremely hygienic, comfortable, and well-organized, and the transportation arranged for the team was smooth and top-notch. Overall, Himalayan Shelter went above and beyond to make our offsite memorable, seamless, and truly enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone looking to plan a well-curated and hassle-free trekking or team offsite experience in the Himalayas.
Vishal Reddy
Had a wonderful experience at Kedarkantha. The trek was beautifully organized, and the entire journey was smooth and memorable. A special mention to our guide Tirupan Rana — extremely knowledgeable, calm, supportive, and always motivating throughout the trek. He ensured everyone felt safe, comfortable, and confident, especially during challenging sections. His local insights and positive attitude truly enhanced the overall experience. The arrangements, food, and campsite management were well taken care of, making the trek enjoyable even in tough weather conditions. The only minor drawback was the unavailability of hot water for bathing, which was manageable considering the terrain and weather. Overall, a fantastic experience and highly recommended — especially with a guide like Tirupan Rana, who made the trek even more special.

I went on Kedarkantha trek with my friends on 7th Dec 2025 through Himalaya Shelter, and it was one of the best trek experience I had. The guides Saurabh sir and Nithin Sir were super friendly and supportive. The food was just amazing and the whole organizing was done perfectly.

I have been waiting to trek in Himalayas for a very long time and Aancha Top Trek is my first trek in the region and with Himalaya Shelter. My experience is really wonderful with breathtaking sceneries in the Himalayas wilderness as well as with the Himalaya Shelters team. We were the first batch of Aancha Top Trek as its newly added trek with no crowd at all on the trek, team has executed it very well. Bachan Rana ji also accompanied with the team for this trek along with the guide Mr. Saurav. We had very enlightened long discussions about other treks, local cultures and the traditions of the region. We had yummy food throughout the trek and I really loved the evening soup. Bachan ji and his team is very professional and I am really happy that I chose them for my forst every trek and looking forward for other treks in the near future. Thank you so much for your time and dedication team 🙏

Second trek with Himalaya Shelter, and they still managed to blow me away! After a fantastic experience at Kedarkantha last January, I didn’t hesitate to book with Himalaya Shelter again for a trek to Aancha Top (3800m) near Ranachatti. As a local Uttarakhand business, they bring an authenticity and professionalism that is hard to find elsewhere. What makes them stand out is their flexibility and the "little" details that aren't so little when you're at high altitude. Case in point: freshly made Gulab Jamun served at 3800m! There were no restrictions on quantity, and the entire menu was consistently great. A huge shoutout to our guide, Mr. Saurav, and the kitchen/support staff who were incredibly helpful throughout. We were also joined by the founder, Mr. Rana, as this was their inaugural trek to Aancha Top. Getting to know him was a highlight; he is a wonderful person who is genuinely open to feedback and new ideas to improve the hiker's experience. If you are looking for a professional, flexible, and warm trekking partner in the Himalayas, look no further. I’m already planning my third trip with them. Thank you, Himalaya Shelter!

The food was surprisingly good even in tough conditions, and the campsite arrangements were comfortable and clean. The team was friendly, motivating, and always ready to help, which made the trek enjoyable and memorable.

Sumrit Paasha
An unforgettable adventure with Himalaya Shelter! I recently completed the Dayara Bugyal Trek with Himalaya Shelter, and the experience was absolutely incredible. The entire team was professional, well-organized, and genuinely caring from start to finish. Our guides were knowledgeable and attentive, always prioritizing safety while keeping the journey fun and engaging. The campsites were clean and comfortable, the food was delicious (a huge bonus at high altitude!), and the support staff went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt at ease. Himalaya Shelter truly made this adventure memorable. Highly recommended for anyone planning the Dayara Bugyal Trek or any Himalayan trek!
Charita Negi
We recently completed the Kedarkantha trek with a group of 8, and the overall experience exceeded expectations. The safety standards were top-notch, with certified trek leaders who managed every situation with real operational maturity. The food was surprisingly tasty and consistently well-organized, which kept our team energized throughout the journey. A special mention to the founder, Mr. Bachan Rana, whose humility and hands-on leadership truly elevate the service quality. Himalaya Shelter delivered a seamless trekking experience backed by strong on-ground execution. Highly recommended for anyone planning a structured and safe Himalayan adventure.
Umesh Kumar
An Unforgettable Experience! My Kedarkantha trek with Himalaya Shelter was absolutely incredible. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized. The guides were knowledgeable, supportive, and truly passionate about the mountains, which made the entire journey feel safe and enjoyable. The campsites were scenic and well-maintained, the food was surprisingly delicious for high-altitude conditions, and every small detail was taken care of with professionalism. The team ensured we stayed motivated and comfortable throughout, and their warmth and hospitality made the trek even more memorable. Reaching the Kedarkantha summit at sunrise was a moment I will never forget breathtaking views, fresh snow, and a sense of accomplishment made possible by the amazing Himalaya Shelter crew. Highly recommended to anyone planning the Kedarkantha trek. Himalaya Shelter truly delivers a world class mountain experience!
Bhaskar Majumder
An unforgettable Kedarkantha experience with Himalaya Shelter! I recently completed the Kedarkantha trek with Himalaya Shelter, and the entire journey was absolutely amazing. The team was extremely professional, well-organized, and truly caring. From the very first briefing to the summit push, everything was handled smoothly. The trek leaders were knowledgeable, always checking on every trekker’s comfort and safety. The support staff cooked fresh, delicious meals even in freezing temperatures, and the campsites were clean, warm, and beautifully located. The quality of tents, sleeping bags, and gears provided was also top-notch. What I loved most was their attention to detail—they maintained a sustainable, eco-friendly approach throughout the trek and made sure everyone felt included and motivated. Thanks to Himalaya Shelter, the Kedarkantha summit felt special, safe, and memorable. Highly recommended for anyone planning their first or next Himalayan trek! 🏔️✨

I did the Nag Tibba trek with guide Mukesh early December and had a great experience. Coordinating in advance via WhatsApp with the company was super easy. Everything went smoothly, on time, and as described, without any issues. The hike to see the sunrise was lovely. And the absolute highlight was my guide Mukesh — he is SO kind, so knowledgeable, speaks excellent English, and you can tell he just loves the mountains. He treats everyone (from locals to guests) with the most generosity. He picks up trash from others to keep the mountain preserved. He made my experience excellent!
Chinmay joshi
The overall experience of the trek was outstanding. The guides , Nitin, Arjun and Chetan were extremely helpful throughout the trek.. everything was excellent...the stay, the food, the guidance. One of the best experiences of my life.
Rashee Rohatgi
Had an amazing trek to the Kunjapuri Devi Temple with Himalaya Shelter. Our departure got delayed and so we hiked after sunset for a huge portion of the trek but Bachan Rama made sure I got to temple and back safely. Greatly appreciated 🙏🏽
Phitchayakon Piemthongkham
The Kuari pass trek was so amazing. It was such a great experience with this trek. Especially, the staff is so nice and kind. They always take care of the trekker. The food also delicious! If I came to India again, I’ll definitely use this agency again.
Pooja Sinha
The trek was amazing. The guide was really helpful, light minded, and had a lot of patience. He helped us wherever possible, be it mental upliftment or filling out water bottles. The locals and the host were all so hospitable, friendly and celebrated the tourist's excitement without demeaning it in any way. I loved everything about this trek, from timely food to helping us with bandaids during the trek, evrything was perfect. It was overall a fabulous experience and I am totally looking forward to do it again, with himalayan shelter. Thankyou so much for making my first trekking experience and absolute 10/10
Darshil Shah
We recently completed the Nag Tibba Trek Trek Dates: 17th–18th November 2025 Organized by: Himalaya Shelter It was an amazing trek and truly one of the best experiences we’ve had. The management, food, guide, and overall support from the entire staff were wonderful. A special thanks and heartfelt appreciation to Tanisha and Mahesh bhai for managing the entire trip so smoothly. 🙌🏔️✨ This was my second experience with Himalaya Shelter, and now I truly feel that “Trekking to Bachan Rana (Himalaya Shelter) sathe j karvu” The trust, management, and overall vibe make every trek unforgettable. 🏔️✨
suresh nair
We had the opportunity to do a weeklong trek to Rupin Supin with the Team Himalaya Shelter, and we enjoyed it very much! The team was very supportive during our journey, along with well-planned meals and safe accommodations. Special shoutout to Bachan Rana for managing our trip with so much care; it was much appreciated. Overall, it was a very enjoyable time, highly recommended for everyone!
Dripta Sur
I went on my first-ever solo trip and choosing Himalaya Shelter for my Har Ki Dun trek turned out to be one of the most transformative experiences of my life. ✨ From day one the team has made sure I was safe and comfortable. Starting my journey from Sankri to the end everything was perfect and I am writing this review being overwhelmed in the best possible way. I can’t believe I’m saying this but I miss each and every food from the trip. Our cook has made some amazing meals for us each day, my trek leader was very knowledgeable and calm and supportive throughout the trek and the best part of the trip was from day one, the team made me feel like a part of a family. The hospitality was absolutely really wonderful and the entire journey was filled with laughter, stories, and self- discovery. Walking through the peaceful valleys and connecting with people from different walks of life reminded me how beautiful life can be when you step out of your comfort zone. Himalaya Shelter didn’t just organise a trek, they gave me memories for a lifetime. ♥️
Ashutosh Ghate
My wife and I completed the Kedarkantha Trek with Himalaya Shelter in the second week of November 2025, and the overall experience was truly wonderful and satisfying. Even though there were no other participants in our fixed-departure batch, the company neither cancelled our trek nor asked for any additional charges, which we deeply appreciated. Our trek leader, Ms. Tanisha Chauhan, and support staff/cook, Mr. Tirpan, were both extremely helpful. Tanisha accompanied us throughout the trek and patiently guided us across difficult sections, offering support whenever needed. Despite her limited experience, she tried to handle the trek responsibly. Mr. Tirpan is an excellent cook, and we thoroughly enjoyed every meal he prepared—whether it was dal, pakode, pasta, soups, or other dishes. He consistently served hot, delicious food on time, which made the trek even more enjoyable. Overall, the service provided by Himalaya Shelter was exceptional. I would like to thank Mr. Tushar (co-ordinator), Mr. Tirpan, Ms. Tanisha, and the entire Himalaya Shelter team for making our trek a memorable one.

Exceptional Family Trek Experience with Himalaya Shelter We recently completed the Fachu Kandi trek in Uttarkashi with Himalaya Shelter, and it turned out to be one of our most memorable adventures. Having done family treks across Sikkim for the past five years, we’re used to a well-coordinated team, quality equipment, and a relaxed pace. This was our first trek outside Sikkim – and without our usual crew – so expectations were high. Right from the start, Bachan Rana and his team impressed us with their professionalism and warmth. They were quick to respond, understood exactly what we wanted, and planned the trek as well as our post-trek holiday to perfection. The trek itself was beautifully organised. We began with a night at their Sankri guesthouse, where we met our wonderful support team. Throughout the trek, they went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, safety, and well-being, supported by excellent equipment and thoughtful planning. Special thanks to: * Rajender ji (Orri Mama) and Simran, our trek leads – they truly made the journey extraordinary. Mama’s deep local knowledge, cheerful energy, and unshakeable commitment kept us motivated through every climb, while Simran’s gentle presence, patience, and instinctive care brought balance and calm to the group. Their teamwork ensured we felt safe, cared for, and always in great spirits. * Tirpan, Bablu, and Goldy, the trek’s true backbone – handling everything from cooking to camp setup, logistics, and managing the mules/horses. Their versatility, ever-smiling faces, and delicious food made each campsite feel like home. * Deepak, our driver – patient, reliable, and non-intrusive, ensuring every long drive was smooth and relaxed. All in all, Himalaya Shelter delivered an outstanding experience – professional, personal, and full of heart. This marks the beginning of our adventures with them, and we’ll surely be back soon for the next one.
SAHASTRA RASHMI
I have been trekking with Himalaya Shelter for over 10 years with multiple groups. The current trek to Phulara Ridge and Pushtara meadows (the trek was to Fachu Kandi Pass but we teaked the itinerary due to heavy snow cover), was 5th trek in a row. Him Shelter has an excellent staff and service. They have provided very flexible, customised treks with very good support and equipment. They are professional and courteous and as per me the best, most reliable trekking company in India. They have been and will remain my go to people for anyt trekking in the future.

Aditya Deshpande
Himalaya Shelter arranged our Fachu Kandi Pass trek, which was fantastically managed by their team. Mukesh and Tanisha, our guides, along with the entire support crew, were extremely helpful, professional, and caring — ensuring every part of the trek was safe, enjoyable, and truly memorable. Their coordination and attention to detail made the whole experience seamless. The stay at Himalaya Shelter in Sankri was equally impressive. The accommodation is clean, comfortable, and beautifully built considering the challenging mountain terrain. Facilities are well maintained, and the place has a warm, homely vibe — just what you need before and after a long trek. A special mention to Bachchan Rana, who owns the place, and Amit, who manages it with great dedication. Both are incredibly helpful and go out of their way to make guests feel welcome. Overall, an excellent experience — both the trek and the stay. Highly recommended for anyone planning a trek or visit to Sankri!
Palli 5000
A group of us had a private tour to Kinjapuri. We were driven to the temple. (Thank you Mahesh for your safe driving). We watched the sunrise then were given breakfast. We then started our hike to Neer waterfall. This was a steep climb down however we were well supported by our guides Tanisha, Bachan Rana and Nitin.thank you for looking after us. Definitely worth using this company.
Gaurav Johri
Till now I have 2 hikes with Himalaya Shelter. Dodi Tall and Fachu kandi pass, excellent arrangement, excellent staff..in short it was amazing experience. Will highly recommend them for helping arranging any hike.
Venkatesh Veeraraghavan
We were a group of 12 people on the Fachu Kandi Pass Trek. When it comes to trekking, Himalaya Shelters are the best in the business. Safety and comfort of everyone is their priority, resulting in the best trekking experience. Best in class equipments (tents etc), knowledgeable and experienced guides, cook, and helpful support staff who ensure each minor detail is taken care and updated. Stay away from big commercial establishments and embrace Himalayas with Himalaya shelter.
Sumit Negi
We had a very comfortable and enjoyable trip with Himalayan Shelter. The food was really good and everything was well managed. Special thanks to Mukesh Bhaiya and Simran Di for being such amazing guides and always taking care of us. They made the trip even more memorable. Highly recommend Himalayan Shelter for a safe and fun experience! 🌄
Anna Will
We had a great trek up Nag Tibba with Mukesh, he was a great guide and we loved the campsite where we played cricket and had delicious food and lots of chai. Deepak was also a very safe on the windy roads to Pantwari. Trek was steep at points, so tiring in the heat but you saw amazing stars ahead of sunrise. Would highly recommend Himalaya Shelter!
Li Wen Toh
I did the Buran Ghati private trek in September 2025 as a solo traveller with Himalaya Shelter. It was an unforgettable trek with stunning, highly varied landscapes every single day, jaw – dropping views and the opportunity to witness local life, since many shepherds use this route to drive their herds down to the village for winter. Better still, Buran Ghati trek remains a hidden gem and I had all this mostly to myself. A big part of the incredible experience was the Himalaya Shelter trekking team, who was committed to ensuring I was safe, comfortable and enjoying every moment. First of all, I was very lucky to have Bachan Rana himself as my trekking guide. Having grown up in the mountains and founding Himalaya Shelter, Bachan is an excellent conversationalist and experienced trekking guide with so many stories to tell. Meanwhile, the cook, Bablu, provided delicious meals (I still remember the spring rolls!) throughout the trek. He also worked closely with the mule man to do the hard work of pitching the tents, packing up, loading and unloading the mules. The team looked after me really well with high quality equipment – my home for 5 nights was a large North Face tent and a very warm sleeping bag. Finally, Himalaya Shelter was very flexible in customizing my itinerary before and after the trek to my requirements and also helping to book good hotels along the way. Thank you so much Himalaya Shelter for an amazing adventure! I will be back to do another trek…now if I can just decide which one 😊 - Li Wen, Singapore

It was a really great experience with the Himalayan shelter, top-notch hospitality.
Ranjit Singh
I did the Nag Tibba trek with my friend, and it was my first trek ever — such an awesome experience! The views were beautiful, the food was super tasty, and the base camp was really nice and comfortable. Our trek leader was very friendly and made the whole journey fun and safe. I totally loved it and would 100% recommend this trek to anyone, especially if it’s your first one! 🏔️✨
Bharat Korlapati
We were a group of 3 doing our first trek - Bali Pass Trek. 1. Experience while booking the trek was flexible and accommodating. 2. Prep at Sankri (starting point) before the trek could have been better. If there was checklist read out at Sankri we wouldn't have missed packing a couple of important items but somehow we managed 3. Some rental gear not so good but most of the items needed are available 4. Sonu was a knowledgeable guide and pays attention to detail. I found it a bit hard to build rapport with him but it got better as the trek continued. Wish he made us do warm up/cool down every day but otherwise he knew his stuff 5. Sanjay was a great chef. Tasty and hot, hit the spot every time. We looked forward to it at the end of each day's trek 6. Haridev and Goldie were great help and kept our mood up by cracking joke and singing songs.
KALLURI KOUSHIK
We are a group of 3 and did Bali pass trek. Entire team did a very good job. Trek guide Sonu was efficieq in planing the trek. Everyday Sanjay made amazing food. Rest of the team Hardev, Goldy were very helpful.

The Har Ki Dun trek with Himalaya Shelter was pure magic. From the first step to the final descent, everything was beautifully organized — warm food, cozy tents, and the kindest team you could ask for. We even witnessed snowfall, and despite the tough conditions, our trek captain SONU & RANA special thanks to them went above and beyond — making the right calls, keeping us safe, and lifting everyone’s spirits. Their dedication truly made the journey special and the cook’s effort to serve hot, comforting food in freezing conditions spoke volumes of their commitment. This wasn’t just a trek; it was an experience I’ll cherish forever. 💙 Grateful to Himalaya Shelter for making the mountains feel like home 💫 Here’s to many more trails together! ❄️⛰️
Shweta
Had a great experience trekking to Har ki doon with Himalaya Shelter. Our trek guides Surinder and Simran are trained mountaineers and knew well about the villages and places on the trek route. The camping tents were comfortable and the food was yum every day! Will be trekking again with them :)

It was a wonderful trekking experience with the Himalaya shelter team. Special thanks to surinder and Simran, our trek leaders.

Adithya Nagaraj
Had an unforgettable experience trekking with Himalaya Shelter. Big thanks to our fantastic guides Simranji and Nitin Bhaiyya who were super supportive and full of positive energy. The cook and mule team were incredible too, always ahead of us with everything set up by the time we arrived. The food was surprisingly amazing for a mountain trek, and the transport services were smooth despite the tough terrain. And a special shoutout to Simba the dog, our adorable furry companion who made the journey even more special! Thanks to the whole Himalaya Shelter team and Bachan Sir for a well-organized and memorable adventure!
Sampath Aithal
Fachukandi 5-Day Trek Review The trek with Himalayan Shelter was an incredible experience! The facilities provided were top-notch, and the guides were extremely understanding, always checking in on our health and ensuring we felt comfortable throughout. The food was excellent, and every day brought breathtaking views that made the journey unforgettable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a well-organized and memorable trek.
Fatema Merchant
We were a small group of 3 on Buran Ghati Trek and honestly it turned out to be a beautiful experience. Our trek leader Sonu, cook Mr. Suresh, and Mr. Jashpal were really good at what they do and made sure we were well taken care of throughout I’m quite a curious cat, always asking questions, and Sonu was patient- sharing insights about the trek, the trails, and the surroundings. That added so much more meaning to the journey. Their gear was also spot on, which gave us a lot of confidence along the way Karthi and I have done our fair share of treks, but this was Kishore’s very first one. Watching him enjoy it just as much made it even more special All in all, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would wholeheartedly recommend Himalayan Shelter if you’re planning a trek Himalayan Shelter, pls call us for your next KGL Batch
Giorgio Jelinek
From start to finish everything went perfectly — communication, organization, and execution of the trip. The goal was a trek through the Himalayan valleys, combined with learning about nature and the life of local people. All of this was achieved, and on top of that, the food was delicious. Considering the conditions in which it was prepared, it tasted really good. A truly great, well-rounded experience. Thank you!
Badal Singh kshatriya
Good experience with himalaya shelter... One of the best company in uttarakhand for the trek
Gurneet Kaur
Absolutely unforgettable experience with Himalaya Shelter! We recently completed our 4N/5D Valley of Flowers trek with Himalaya Shelter, and I couldn't be more impressed. From start to finish, everything was exceptionally well-organized — from the itinerary and accommodation to the food and logistics. The team was also wonderfully flexible, accommodating our needs without any hassle. The team was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive throughout the journey. They ensured our safety, comfort, and enjoyment every step of the way, allowing us to truly immerse ourselves in the beauty of the Himalayas without any stress. I highly recommend Himalaya Shelter to everyone looking for a well-curated and memorable trekking experience.

Also a shoutout to Mr Sonu the guide for his best guidance and support . I'll recommend Himalaya Shelter if you are planning trip to Uttarakhand.
Nihal Pawar
Our recent trip with Himalaya Shelter was nothing short of exceptional. From the very beginning at Dehradun to Chamoli district, Ghangaria trek, Valley of Flowers, Badrinath Temple, Rudraprayag, and finally Rishikesh – every single arrangement was planned and executed perfectly. The entire itinerary was thoughtfully designed, with smooth transitions between destinations and excellent hospitality throughout. The guide Mr Somu was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and supportive, ensuring that we were comfortable and well-informed during the entire journey. Special appreciation to Mr. Bachan, the in-charge of our trip, who personally accompanied us and made the whole experience even more memorable with his guidance and experience. All aspects of the trip – accommodation, food, transport, trekking arrangements, and local guidance – were handled flawlessly. Truly, 10/10 on every parameter. I would highly recommend Himalaya Shelter to anyone planning a trek or trip in Uttarakhand. Their professionalism, warmth, and expertise make them the best choice for exploring the beauty of the Himalayas

We were a small group of five people from Greece. Bali pass trek was a challenging trek because Maria, Tzortzina Sofia and Despina had never been trekking at this altitude. Our leader Rana was exeptional because very supporting and very professional taking care of all details. We went up slowly with all safety we needed. The équipement was perfect (North Face Four Seasons) the food as well. All the team was the best we could get and I am in the position to say that because I did many treks in Indian Hymalayas. This trek has been a Life expérience with all kindness and safety that Rana provides. Thank you for this great expérience. Hari Om.

The Pin Bhabha Pass Trek in July 2025 was a Beautiful Experience. It was very well organised by the team and the trek leaders Adarsh, Tripan, Jassu and the Kitchen team who made the yummiest food for us in these temperatures. Starting from the base camp, the Stay at the base camp Kafnu was warm and comforting with amazing view of the river. As we started the trek day with tasty breakfast, the weather got better and we completed the day 1 at Mulling. All the Campsites were beautiful, especially the one at Phutsirang. The trek leaders were very supportive on the Summit day when the trekkers needed it the most. We safely summited the Pass and entered into the beautiful Spiti valley with vast landscape and later visited the serene Chandratal lake. All thanks to the team at Himalaya Shelter. Cheers!

I had my first trek experience with these niche group of people in the industry. They pay attention to individual trekkers and provides best services. A big shout out to our trek leaders Aadarsh, Tripan ji, & Jassu bhai for their love, support, & guidance.
