Introduction To Mountaineering in Climbing The Kedarkantha Peak With Himalayan High

 

 

The Kedarkantha Trek is one of the very popular and best treks to be done in the Indian Himalayas. It is a peak which is v ery apt to be introduced to the Himalayas and climbing a Himalayan peak in snow. [ to be continued]

Introduction To Mountaineering in Climbing The Kedarkantha Peak of 3800 Meters

 

Not just the views, the Kedarkantha peak, the summit of which is above 3800 meters or 12550 feet, also offers you the ultimate experience of climbing a mountain peak. Considering the altitude and snow conditions of the Kedarkantha peak, the trek to its summit can well be considered as your introduction to mountaineering and learning the snow craft, which is one of the 3 pillars of a mountaineer. Our leaders train and provide lots of knowledge on snow techniques and safety which will be one of the greatest advantage of trekking with us.

Going by the standards of the Himalayas, its just the beginning though. We have villages and human settlements above 4000 meters in the remotest corners of Himalayas, totally secluded from the World and definitely the digital World and peak that are as high as 8850 Meters, but it can just be the beginning. The Himalayas are anyways proven to change the entire outlook of a person who has visited them.

Yes, coming back to the experience of a summit climb, we start the summit push to the just before dawn to perfectly time our reaching to the top of the Kedarkantha Peak at sunrise. You start with your headlamps on in the darkness, finishing your breakfast of hot porridge and egg boils very quickly, all excited. The sight of trekkers climbing the peak in the pitch darkness o the snow looks excellent!. The team makes a light trail on the mountain. It does require some energy, zeal and positivism to reach the summit, but once you reach the summit, you gift yourself one of the best ever experience of your lifetime.. a jaw dropping view all around and the charming magic of a Himalayan Sunrise. Snow just adds to the wonderful experience as it is white all around... Its just magical, and my vocabulary falls short.. The feeling of seeing the surrounding light up to the dawn from the summit can never be forgotten and becomes a lifelong cherishing moment.

Every day I keep learning new things, but as of now, I think I can describe myself as a Loyal Himalayan Lover, Avid Trekker, Student Of Mountaineering, Amateur Photographer and an Enthusiastic Anthropologist. I am a Computer Science Engineer by education and previously worked as a Software Developer for premium IT companies. However, I quit the luxury of a high-earning corporate job and left behind the herd to walk towards the spiritual path laid down by the Godly Himalayas. At the age of 27 with no savings at all and being the only son from a lower-middle-class family, it was too young to fight against the family who in turn had to fight against the rules laid down by society. However, with my determination and perseverance, everything became smooth by passing time.

It wasn't easy for me as I learnt the hard way from mistakes - my own and by observing others. I fought 2 major road accidents that broke my right tibia and femur. I underwent 7 surgeries that kept me away from the mountains, but I patiently fought them all to get back to trekking again in the Himalayas with rods and plates in my bones. Despite doctors saying I cannot walk properly ever again to getting back to trekking on the difficult routes again, Life made me understand very clearly what it wants out of me in this World. It wants me to serve the Himalayas and its community, live a peaceful, content and simple life. That's what I have dedicated my this life to. I am not religious, but spiritual. The Himalayas define my road.

The Himalayas today is spammed by mushrooming trek agencies and big companies who take pride in being India's Largest, biggest, oldest, etc. They are exploiting everything for the sake of profit. It is in dire need of regulation by credible Government authorities, Sustainable Tourism Practices needs to be forced upon every organisation, Small Group Sizes needs to be mandated, Fixed camping should be restricted in alpine zones and Negative Ecological Impact Trekking Protocols should be laid down immediately by governing bodies. With all these objectives, I founded Himalayan High in the year 2015. Learn more about Himalayan High on About Himalayan High
