Sanskri-The Beautiful Basecamp of Kedarkantha Trekking

Kedarkantha trek is an ideal beautiful trek in the lap of the Himalayas of Garhwal. The general return trek is around 24 kilometers from Sankri, which is canvassed in a traverse of more than 4 days. The trek takes you up to the summit of the Kedarkantha top at 3800 meters. The view from the best offers marvelous scene the district and other lesser known peaks, valleys and towns of the zone. The Dhauladhar scope of Himachal, Rupin valley, Har Ki Dun valley and perspectives that goes down to the thick settlement of Purola, are on the whole unimaginable. The snow cover on the encompassing peaks makes every one of the mountains and sharp focuses seem like an overwhelming high peak. On the best, you feel like a falcon with an elevated perspective of the surrounding.

Sanskri: The Last Stop

Sankri happens to be the last transport point formally. However employed jeeps go till Taluka which is about 11km from Sankri. Kedarkantha (3810 mtrs) is ideal over the town Sankri around 9kms soak trek upwards (appeared to be more than 11kms to me). As one climbs through the thick pine wilderness in the midst of the level awesome Himalayan ranges particularly Swargarohini on the right side winds up obvious alongwith Black mountain and the perspective of Bandarpoonch (Yumanotri) as guide was depicting. It feels like moving closer to all these peaks on the Kedarkantha Trek.

To the front one could see Himachal ranges and guide directed his finger toward the front referring to some place called Chang Sheel pass which obviously was not getting noticeable to me. Everything could be seen a 360 degree snow see around me as I remain on a long level of farmland to offer rest to the trekkers throbbing shoulders from the weight of rucksack.

It is a beautiful small town worth staying for a night and take in the fresh air in the morning while gaze at the shining stars in the night. Sanskri is small village and has a population of around 150 houses. As it is the base camp for so many treks it gives the perfect opportunity to acknowledge like-minded people. You can also see various peaks from here which are visible. It acts as the most refreshing start for the Kedarkantha Trekking.
