Discover the sacred and untamed beauty of the Kumaon Himalayas with our Chipla Kedar Trekking Tour Package ex-Kathgodam – a spiritually enriching and adventurous journey to the ancient Chipla Kedar Temple (Chhipla Kedar), perched at ~5,200m. Revered as a divine abode of Lord Shiva, this high-altitude shrine offers profound peace, stunning 360-degree views of snow-capped peaks like Panchachuli, Api, Nampa, and distant Api-Nampa ranges, vast alpine meadows (bugyals), glacial streams, and rhododendron forests.
This moderate-to-challenging trek winds through remote villages, high pastures, and pristine wilderness in the Darma/Byans valley region, far from crowded tourist trails. Ideal for devotees seeking blessings at this lesser-known pilgrimage site, as well as adventure seekers craving raw Himalayan exploration with minimal commercialization.

Why we prefer private and small groups? We love to trek in smaller private groups as we believe that it gives the best ambience to experience the Himalayan spirituality, serenity, solitude and rawness. Small groups are also eco friendly, less noisy, safe, friendly, easy to manage and more caring towards each other. Most importantly, private groups are more focused towards their objective which is enjoy being in the nature. We specialize in arranging customized private groups catering to the specific needs.
