Mysuru: Shanaaya Anand, an 8-year-old girl, has proven that age does not matter by summiting the Kedarkantha peak. Through this, she has become the youngest girl to summit the mountain in Uttarakhand.
The Kedarkantha trek is not an easy task. It requires four days of walking through tough hills and peaks. It begins from the picturesque village of Sankri, passing scenic spots like Juda Ka Talab and Kedarkantha Base Camp and culminating with the stunning Kedarkantha peak, which is covered in snow during winter. The trek is physically and mentally challenging and it demands more fitness and endurance with minus temperature and less oxygen as one climbs towards Kedarkantha peak, which elevates 12,500 feet (3,850 meters in height).
