Crossed the Hargaon campsite and covered about 3-4 km to reach Kedarkantha Base Camp (3415 m) at 9 AM. The climb was a bit strenuous and one if going alone/without experience can get lost so don't try any such stunt here.

Now the climb got real good, with possibly the best views you'll experience. If going Solo carry - Dark Chocolate, Juice, Parle G, Nuts, Jaggery, Paranthas, 1L water bottle (2)

Reached Kedarkantha Peak (3810 m) at 1 PM. We were surrounded by clouds on all sides, thus couldn't get beautiful views of the 6000m peaks. Cost incurred - Rs 300 pp.

Day 3

Took the early morning bus from Sankri back to Dehradun and then to Delhi. A Tip: Don't book tickets from Intercity.com as their management and communication has got a lot many lapses ✌️
