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.

Hear from trekkers who've been there
"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."
Priya Sharma
Software Engineer, Bangalore
"My parents were worried sick about me traveling solo. But YaatraExpress sent them daily updates, the guides carried oxygen and first aid. Never once felt unsafe. Now my dad wants to come next year!"
Arjun Kapoor
Marketing Manager, Mumbai
"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."
Neha Singh
Data Analyst, Delhi
"As a doctor, I was skeptical about safety standards. Impressed by the first aid kit, oxygen availability, and guide certifications. Professional operation. The trek itself was magical."
