Day 2 Sankri – Posla
Trek2 kmStayHut/Camps
We have intentionally kept 1stday of the trek short and sweet so that you get well acquainted with the local surroundings and the terrain rather than giving a hard push with hundreds of trekkers to get to Jud aka Talab.
We get up at around 7-8. After breakfast, we go for a village walk to Saur. Get back to the homestay and start the trek around noon when the sun will keep us warm. Since the temperature dips below freezing point in the Sankri range during the winter season, we must get acquainted with snow and higher altitude gradually, especially for those hiking in snow for the first time.
There is a steep climb involved as soon as you take your steps off the road. The trail goes through the beautiful forest of oak, birch & deodar. The sound of some minor streams flowing through rocks will please your ears. The trail will be covered in snow at some stretches and you will come across a couple of shacks to replenish with tea.
We head to the highest point of Posla where our beautiful wooden hut will be waiting eagerly to host you for the night. It overlooks the Sankri range and Swargarohini Peak and is perched at a picture perfect setting. Staying in the wooden hut will keep you warm and give you decent space to move around. A perfect day to acclimatize none the less. (Inclusions: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)

After some good rest and less exertion the day before, it will be a real pleasure to walk the trail passing through tree lines and snow-laden meadow patches in between. We start early at around 8 am to head to Kedarkantha Base Camp via Hargaon.
After roughly walking for 3 hours you’ll reach Lower Kedarkantha Base Camp. This campsite is often occupied when there is heavy snowfall in the upper area of Kedarkantha, the summit of Kedarkantha is visible from this region. There are a couple of shepherd huts in this region which are often used as kitchen areas. Continue walking uphill through a patch of dense forest and after climbing for an hour you’ll reach Kedarkantha Base Camp perched at an elevation of 3300mts above sea level.
Watch out for the sunset as it is a spectacularly beautiful sight to see the mountains painted with golden hues. (Inclusions: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)

Start trekking early from Kedarkantha Base Camp because it is The Summit Day. The climb is moderately steep and the views are rewarding. The trail pierces through the oak forest and opens up to a straight climb through the northern ridge. In roughly less than three hours you’ll reach Kedarkantha Summit from Kedarkantha Base Camp, a lot of this depends on your speed, the queue on the summit, and the weather.

A wide view of Himalayan peaks will greet you at the summit. Gangotri & Yamunotri ranges are also distinctly visible from the peak. The Kedarkantha Summit is situated at an altitude of 3900mts above sea level, equivalent to several peaks in the French Alps. We try and have a good time at the summit if the weather is clear.
