Sixty Award aspirants from Welham Boys School, Dehra Dun accompanied by five mentors went to Kedarkantha (12500ft) in Uttarkashi
District from 27th Sept to 2nd Oct 2014. Here is a report about this trek from Laxman Bhandari (Award Leader).
On 28th morning at 6:30 am we started our Adventurous Journey from Welham Boys' School and reached Sankri at 5:00pm.
Our trek to Kedarkantha started on 29th morning at 8:30 am. We reached the base camp which was at Juda Lake, 5 km away, after an arduous and steep climb. We were briefed about the do's and don'ts of staying in camps and were also given details on acclimatization as the altitude progressed. We were constantly monitored and records of our health were kept. We stayed in a camp in the midst of forests. Staying in the jungle overnight was an exciting and memorable experience for all the members of the expedition. We collected firewood for the evening bonfire, which we enjoyed immensely.
The next morning on 30th September after breakfast at 8:30am we were briefed on the trek to the final climb of Kedarkantha. All the members of the expedition were delighted to see the 65-member expedition scaling the peak of Kedarkantha successfully. Exhilarated, we set off for the base camp which we reached at 5 pm and stayed there overnight.
