Trek Highlights
The must do experiences that you can cross off your bucket list

Visit Vasuki Tal
For adventure seekers, Vasuki Tal is a serene glacial lake just a few hours trek from Kedarnath. Surrounded by snowy peaks, its still waters reflect the sky beautifully. It’s a quiet, less-crowded spot to sit, breathe, and feel one with the mighty Himalayas
See Adi Shankaracharya’s Samadhi
Behind the temple stands the samadhi of Adi Shankaracharya, who restored Kedarnath over a thousand years ago. This spot reminds visitors of his spiritual journey and the timeless faith of millions who continue to walk the path he revived.
