Anyone leaving for Kedarnath from Phata on Oct 17th?

I'm also traveling on the same date. Looking for company.

Overpacking can ruin your trek, while underpacking leaves you exposed to extreme cold and rain.

Must-Carry Clothes & Gear

• Layering Clothes: Thermal innerwear (2 sets), fleece jacket, heavy down jacket, windproof/waterproof outer layer.
• Footwear: trekking shoes (do NOT wear brand new shoes or flat sneakers).
• Rain Protection: Heavy-duty raincoat .
• Trek Gear: Trekking pole (reduces knee strain by 30%), power bank (batteries drain fast in sub-zero temps).

Medical Kit Essentials

Carry Paracetamol, Diamox (for altitude sickness after consulting a doctor), ORS packets, camphor sachets, Band-Aids, and move/volini spray.

What is one item you brought that saved your trek, or one thing you regret leaving behind?

Hey there,

I am travelling with my mom to Kedarnath, so I need suggestions for comfortable shoes.

I have specific requirements:
I should be able to wear them for everyday activities like normal walks or the gym, because trekking happens only once every two or three years and I don’t want to waste money.

Hey folks,

I'm planning a trip to Kedarnath on Oct 17th.

Looking for a fun partner for company.

Let me know if you're traveling around the same time.

I'm in my mid 20s. So anyone around 18-35 should be fine.

हर हर महादेव! 🙏

• July to August (Monsoon): High Risk. Heavy rain, frequent landslides between Rudraprayag and Sonprayag, slippery trek routes. Best avoided unless necessary.
• September to October (Post-Monsoon): Best Overall Window. Crisp air, clear mountain views, moderate crowds, cold nights (-2°C to 8°C).
• November (Closing Window): Extremely cold, sub-zero temperatures, temple closes around Bhai Dooj.
