Experience the highs of the Himalayan Peaks

Kedarnath is a Hindu holy town located in the Indian state of Uttarakhand. Situated in the Himalayas, about 3584m above sea level near the head of river Mandakini, this destination is flanked by breathtaking snow-capped peaks.

It is an exceptional destination surrounded with huge Himalayan Peaks. The Kedarnath Peak (6940m/22770ft) is just one of the few Himalayan Peaks in Kedarnath that is situated at the south of Gangotri Glacier and well known for peak climbing adventure activity.

Surrounded by Kedar dome (6831m) and Sumeru Parbat, Chorabari Glacier is the base for Kedarnath Peak. While Kedarnath is the highest peak and Kedarnath Dome the third highest peak on the south side of the Gangotri Glacier; both are famous for peak climbing and trekking offering a challenging adventure activity.

Today many tourists from across the world come to Kedarnath to explore the challenges of Kedarnath Peak Climbing. While many of the routes through the mountains are difficult, there are ample places to rest and enjoy a meal along the way. The area also offers one of the most wonderful and exhilarating ranges in the world and an opportunity to view the natural beauty through naked eyes.

Trekking and peak climbing is possible in this area the whole year around, but the best times to visit are from the beginning of May to mid June and from the beginning of August to mid October.

Every year, there are many expeditions organized by independent tour operators which focus on trekking and peak climbing experiences. Recently Peak Adventure Tour - peakadventuretour.com - one of the leading tour & travel groups in India conducted an international Kedarnath Peak Climbing expedition for an Italian group, creating a new benchmark by completing the expedition in record time.

The expedition was organized from 27th July – 21st August, 2009 and contained an Italian crew of 11 members having a mix of men and women. All the crew members were taken to some of the most famous destinations like Rishikesh, Uttarkashi, Gangotri, Bhojwassa, Gomukh and Tapovan where they spent almost 24 days. The entire tour program was based on extreme level of peak climbing and adventure. It was an adventure-packed tour which allowed the group to interact with both nature and local civilization.

“We have recently completed our Kedarnath Peak Climbing Expedition and very soon we will try to commence our next peak climbing expedition. We are highly pleased with the success of the tour and feedback of the clients.

“Every crew member were satisfied with our commitment to provide effective service in such extreme geographical conditions and showed their deep interest to visit India again for another adventure expedition,” said the Managing Director, Peak Adventure.
