Kedarkantha Solo Trek
This March, I did my first solo trek to the Kedarkantha summit. Honestly, it wasn’t something I’d been planning for a long time - it just happened. My work had become unbearably hectic, and my temporary manager was making things worse. On top of that, I was dealing with back pain that only got worse with long hours. It got so bad that I ended up in the hospital for a couple of days.
One day, I just had enough. I decided to roll off his project and escape corporate life for a week. That’s when I impulsively booked the Kedarkantha trek. I won’t lie, I was really nervous. It was my first solo trip, and my back pain was still an issue. To make things worse, my back and legs started hurting just days before I was supposed to leave. But I told myself let’s just go. If things get too bad, I’ll turn back.
I started the trek with three strangers, and together, we pushed through all the challenges. When I finally reached the summit of Kedarkantha, I couldn’t hold back my tears. It was surreal. I always thought moments like that only happened in movies, but standing there, I felt this overwhelming sense of accomplishment. It was like all the stress, pain, and struggles I’d been dealing with just melted away.
I’ve always loved the mountains and snow, and I make it a point to visit every year. But this trip was different - it was personal. It’s something I’ll cherish forever.
