Kedarkantha
Kedarkantha is one of the best places one could visit during winter and it came under the category of top winter treks in India. It is situated in the Uttarkashi district of Himalayan Range and has a very important significance attached to it going by the Indian history.
The Kedarkantha was supposed to be the ‘Kedarnath’ we have today but the Lord Shiva’s sculpture construction was hindered in between due to a holy cow cried at the premises and according to the Indian tradition of that time, the religious workers stopped the work and the sculpture was only finished up until the neck of Lord Shiva and hence names Kedar-Kantha meaning Lord Shiva’s neck.
The trek is moderately difficult and is beginner-friendly but even experienced trekkers visit the place due to its beauty and serene views. The best time to visit is between the months of November to January.
Dayara Bugyal
