Mount Kedar Dome, as the name suggests, is a majestic, dome-shaped peak draped within the folds of the Garhwal Himalayas that form the Gangotri peaks. Named after Lord Shiva, the mountain also holds religious significance amongst Hindus. The northwestern flank of the mountain is relatively easier, compared to the eastern side which makes for a dangerous climb. The peak is ideal for ski ascents and is popular amongst skiers. Standing tall at a dizzying 6,831 meters, the trek to Kedar Dome, though easy, demands prior high altitude trekking experience along with the ability to endure extreme weather conditions. The initial part of the trek traces the trail of the Gaumukh Tapovan trek. It offers great views of the Gangotri glacier, Gangotri peaks, and the stunning Mount Kedarnath.
Trip Highlights
The peak is merely 150 m shy of touching the 7,000 m mark!
A great choice for those seeking to climb a 6,000+ meters
peak without any
hardcore mountaineering techniques.
In pleasant weather conditions, you can also ski down the
peak, making it a truly
thrilling experience.
