Trek to Kalpeshwar & Rudranath

from ₹0.00

March – May & Mid September – November

Kalpeshwar, Rudranath are two of the “Panch Kedars” and popular destinations amongst pilgrims, peace seekers and trekkers. This area lies in the Kedarnath Musk Deer sanctuary with very dense forest and vivid flora and fauna, including Himalayan Pheasant, Musk Deer, Tahr, etc. This trek is very highly recommended for those who like unspoiled nature and greatest views of Himalayas.

The route from Kalpeshwar to the high meadows is demanding with long stiff climbs, sometimes through dense forests but the paths are usually well defined. We see a 360-degree view of the Inner Himalayas. The Rudranath temple is a tiny squat and the small shrines around it speak of a deep awe for nature and its power, pride and humility. Let’s experience the journeys beyond imagination…
