Kedarkantha trek is so famous because it offers breathtaking views of the Himalayan range, snow-capped peaks, and lush green meadows. The trek is also relatively easy and can be completed by beginners. It is believed that Shiva's throat fell on the mountain, thus earning the peak its name Kedarkantha (the throat of Shiva). The Pandavas pleased with this reappearance in five different forms, built temples at the five places for venerating and worshipping Shiva. The Pandavas were thus freed from their sins.
