A little context changes everything
The landscape behind the Kedarkantha trail
The Kedarkantha route belongs to the mountain landscape around Sankri and Govind Pashu Vihar. Uttarakhand Tourism describes forest trails, Juda Lake and the approach to the summit as distinct parts of the journey. This is natural and regional context, rather than a claimed monument history. The trek should not be confused with the separate Kedarnath pilgrimage.
