Madmaheshwar Trek

Panch Kedar

Hard

Madmaheshwar Trek

5 Days / 4 Nights

A remote Panch Kedar temple trek through rhododendron forests, high meadows, and dramatic Chaukhamba views.

Madmaheshwar is the fourth Kedar in the Panch Kedar circuit — quieter, wilder, and deeply rewarding for experienced trekkers.

The trail passes through Ransi village and opens into grand amphitheatre views of the Chaukhamba massif before reaching the temple.
