Kedarnath Trek
Kedarnath is a Hindu pilgrimage center located in the Garhwal Himalayas. The temple of Kedarnath is dedicated to Lord Shiva, and is one of the four major Chota Char Dham yatra destinations. Located at an altitude of 4,890 m above sea level, it has an amazing view of snow-capped peaks, including Mount Kailash (6994 m), Annapurna (8091 m) and Nanda Devi (8586 m).
Kedarnath was established by Pandavas on their way back from exile after their victory over Kauravas in the Mahabharata war. It is believed that during this journey they stopped here for rest before continuing with their journey towards South India through forests across the Garhwal region; hence it became known as “Siddha Dvara” (“Blessed Gateway”).
Har Ki Dun Trek
Har Ki Dun is a small village in the Pithoragarh district of Uttarakhand, India. Har Ki Dun is located at a height of 3,600 meters above sea level. The village has a population of around 6500 people and it is one of the most popular trekking destinations in India.
The trek to Har Ki Dun starts from Sankri where you can get your vehicle drop-off point or arrange for jeep services from there to take you up to Har ki Dun Village itself which lies at a high altitude of about 1300 meters above sea level (altitude varies slightly depending on whether you are coming from Delhi or Kathmandu).
Brahmatal Trek
The Brahmatal Trek is one of the most popular treks in Kumaon. It is a moderate trek and takes about 5 days to complete. This trek can be done in any season, but it’s best to do it during monsoon when there are fewer crowds and you have more views.
The beautiful scenery along this route will leave you speechless as you see mountains covered with snow at their peaks while they are green below with lush forests surrounding them. You will also pass through various villages where local people live peacefully together with their livestock on grasslands or in fields near rivers like Bhagirathi River which flows through several districts before merging into the Ganges River at Varanasi (Banaras).

Himalayas
The Himalayas is the world’s highest mountain range. It’s located in northern India, where it stretches across the border with Nepal and Tibet, and covers parts of China, Bhutan, Pakistan, and Afghanistan.
The area above 3200m (10,000 ft) is known as the ‘Himalayan zone.’ The highest peaks are Kanchenjunga (8586m) – which means “five lakes” in Tibetan – Nanda Devi (7888m), Annapurna I & II with Dhaulagiri I & II at 8167m respectively.
The temple is situated in the Himalayas at an altitude of 4,900 m above sea level. It is one of the four major Chota Char Dham pilgrimage destinations in India; the other three are Badrinath, Puri Jagannath Temple, and Rameshwaram. The temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva, who is also known as Kedar Nath (Lord of Forest). It has been built in a Hemispherical shape with a dome-like structure that measures 50 feet high and 60 feet wideThe trek to Har Ki Dun is a beautiful one and takes around four days from Sankri to reach the top.
The first day’s trek is really tough as it involves crossing a few waterfalls and rivers, but once you get past them then the real fun begins. You walk through some amazing pine forests on your way to Har Ki Dun VillageThe Himalayas are formed by the collision of two tectonic plates: the Indian plate and the Eurasian plate. This is a process which has been going on for millions of years and continues today as India gradually moves northwards at about 5 cm (2 inches) per year.
The trek starts from Govind Dham (around 2,000 meters above sea level) and ends at Brahmatal, which is about 5 kilometers away from Badrinath. The trail goes through dense forests of oak trees and rhododendron plants. From here you can see the snow-capped peaks of Neelkanth (7,756 meters), Nanda Devi (7,816 meters) and Bandarpunch (6,921 meters).
