Kedarkantha is not just a trek. It is your proof that you can do hard things beautifully.

Brahmatal offers one of the finest winter trekking experiences in India. Named after Lord Brahma who meditated here, the trail passes two stunning alpine lakes frozen in winter. The highlight is the continuous view of Mt. Trishul and Mt. Nanda Ghunti throughout the trek.

Perfect for first-timers: If you can climb stairs without getting winded, you can summit Kedarkantha. Our guides have led thousands to the top.

"I had never trekked before and was terrified I would slow everyone down. The guides paced us perfectly. Standing at the summit watching the sunrise - I actually cried. Best decision of my life."

"I have done resort trips that cost 3x this much and felt nothing. ₹7,500 for views that made me forget my phone existed? The frozen lake, the snow peaks at sunrise - absolute steal."

Questions Every First-Timer Asks

We've answered these 10,000+ times. Here are the honest answers.

How is Brahmatal different from Kedarkantha?

Brahmatal is slightly longer (6 days vs 5) and features two frozen lakes. The mountain views, especially of Trishul and Nanda Ghunti, are more prominent throughout the trek.

Is prior trekking experience required?

While beginners can attempt this trek, some prior trekking or hiking experience is helpful due to the longer duration and slightly higher difficulty level.
