Sankri is a beautiful village in the Uttarkashi district. The entire trek route is very scenic and mesmerizing, with especially the last part in which we pass through Govind life sanctuary.

The way light comes and what happens in the sky is amazing, a variety of colours you will see in the sky. The summit offers some of the most spectacular views of Yamunotri and Gangotri Ranges. At summit we will spend some time and return back to Hargaon campsite via Kedarkantha base camp.
