Kedarkantha Trek Uttarakhand
It has always been my dream to go on Himalayan treks ever since I was in college. However, it could not be materialized owing to my busy friend circle. It was a way beyond my abilities and a daunting task for me to plan a solo trip to the Himalayan hike or to Kedarkantha Trek Uttarakhand. Finally, I got a chance to visit with my flatmate out of my boring corporate life.
The planning was quite easy further with Japji Travelers, Kedarkantha Trek Uttarakhand was one of the most heard and happening Treks during winter for beginners. Getting exposed to the amazing and beautiful photos and having read about the treks, finally booked for early March.
