READ MORE <h2> Aditya Bodke</h2> What is the best time to attempt a winter Kedarkantha Trek and what are the things to keep in mind?‍<br/> Considering the fact most people want to see snow on their first winter Himalayan trek, the end of December would be an ideal and safe time to go for it. I say safe because later in peak winters, drastic weather conditions might not permit you to scale till the summit. It’s not impossible but depends on everyday weather.

We have a saying here in the mountains that ‘you go as far as the mountain lets you’ and I have experienced it to be inexplicably true. I have personally led 11 batches in the winter season of 2019-20 (mid-November to February first week), and we were able to reach the summit in nine of the batches.

Layering is simply wearing multiple layers of clothing instead of one big layer. For example, we have all studied in our school time, that two thin blankets are more effective than one thick one. The reason for this is that heat is trapped between the multiple layers.<br> ‍<br/>Similarly, when you use layered clothing in the mountains, your body warmth is trapped and thus it is more effective.

<br> ‍<br/>During the night, when you sleep in your tents, it can get pretty cold. Though you will have a very warm and thick sleeping bag, proper layering during the night will ensure a good and uninterrupted sleep. In addition to all the layers mentioned above, you could also wear your thermals as the innermost layer.

Thermals are only effective when they are in direct contact with the skin. And thermals are not to be worn when you are walking as it could get very warm and irritable, because as it is your body is giving off a lot of heat in the form of sweat while trekking.<br> ‍<br/>Apart from this, you should also carry good gloves and socks. At night, you can wear woollen socks too.

Keeping your extremities warm and cozy is the best possible care in the winters. Also, cover your head at all times as most of the body heat escapes through our head. You could use a sun-cap in the day and a woollen cap in the night.<br> ‍<br/>On a side note, do not forget your sunglasses as they will shield your eyes from the direct sunlight reflected by the snow.

So, a pair of gaiters is a waterproof gear that goes around your shins and ankle and latches to the shoes. It prevents the snow from entering your shoes from the ankle and thus keeping your foot dry. On the other hand, spikes are pointed metal projections that you can wear on the sole of your shoes.

They help you get better grip if the surface is too slippery (hard snow or ice).<br/>To answer the question if you need gaiters and spikes for a winter Kedarkantha trek depends totally on the weather on that particular day.

Personally speaking, they have helped me many times on the slopes. It just gets easier, and the risk of slipping and falling is almost eliminated. Do keep in mind not to use spikes in a rocky trail as that will damage them.

It’s quite safe to plan a solo winter Kedarkantha trek, but I would have to say it highly depends on the level of your preparedness. You should have all the right gear that you may or may not need during the trek. You should be prepared for any kind of adversity that could happen.

You can easily get a forest permit by giving the relevant government authorised ID.<br> ‍<br/>An easier option would be to choose the popular trail to Kedarkantha which goes from Sankri - Juda Ka Tabaab - KK Basecamp - Summit - Hargaon - Sankri. This is the conventional trail and it would be easier because you’ll find a lot of groups taking the same route, and you won’t lose your way. Also, food won’t really be an issue as there are a lot of dhabas on this trail.

You will find small streams on your way from which you can fill your bottles. In the peak winter season this situation can pose a challenge as the streams might freeze due to the temperatures.

On the other hand, if you choose the popular trail, I don’t think getting water would be that difficult due to the presence of dhabas. Don’t shy away from asking for help during the trek. Mountain people are the best kind of people I have met, they are very generous and helpful.

It usually snows during the night because of the low temperatures. On such days, it’s not surprising to wake up and see that the entire trail is covered in fresh white snow. Or to be more precise, the trail just vanishes overnight after heavy snowfall.

Then it would come upon you to break the trail. I have had to do it a couple of times this winter and believe me when I say that it is tiring. It quite literally takes double the effort as well as time.

You should take your decisions based on the weather and the situation. The mountain is always going to be there, what’s more important is your safety and well-being.<br>What is the fitness required for Winter Kedarkantha Trek? Like I said earlier, even though we categorise Kedarkantha as an easy-moderate trek, a decent level of fitness is required.

I say this because if you struggle the entire trek, you won’t be able to enjoy the journey. You don’t just have to finish the trek or reach till the summit, it’s the experience that comes with it that matters.

<br> ‍<br/>Also, the difficulty of a trek increases a little bit in the winter months. This is true for any other trek out there. High levels of snow can sometimes pose as a challenge.

That is why it is imperative that you prepare well before going to the mountains.<br> ‍<br/>You could start running, at least a month before the trek. If you are able to cover a distance of 5 km under 35 minutes, lack of stamina will definitely not be a problem on the slopes.

You can traverse the stairs of your apartment a couple of times. Different kinds of squats are something that’ll help you build your leg muscles. This will prove to be very beneficial on the trek, as it wouldn’t be a new chore for your muscles.
