How safe is the activity for solo travelers, especially women?

The Kedarnath is considered safe for solo travelers, including women. It's popular and well-frequented, and if you go with a reliable group or agency, the trek leaders and support staff prioritize safety.

What kind of food is served during the activity?

Expect simple, nutritious vegetarian meals like dal, rice, chapati, vegetables, and sometimes noodles or pasta. Meals are designed to be easy on the stomach and provide sustained energy for trekking.

Can I carry a drone or camera gear during the activity?

You can carry camera gear, but remember that weight matters. Drones may not be allowed in certain forested or protected areas—check the latest local rules or with your trek operator beforehand

Can I rent trekking gear instead of buying everything

Yes, many operators and local shops in Sankri offer trekking gear rentals, including jackets, shoes, walking sticks, and sleeping bags. It’s a cost-effective way to prepare without investing in expensive equipment for one trip.

What type of shoes are best for this trek?

Waterproof trekking shoes with high ankle support and a strong grip are highly recommended. Avoid sports shoes or basic hiking shoes in snowy and slippery terrain.

Children above 12 years of age with a good fitness level and prior exposure to outdoor activities can join. However, it's important to consult your trek operator for age-specific guidelines.

What’s the difference between doing the Kedarnath trek in winter vs. other seasons?

Winter turns the trail into a snowy wonderland with frozen lakes and white-dusted pine forests—perfect for snow lovers. Other seasons offer more greenery and blooming rhododendrons but lack the snow-covered charm.
