Kedarkantha trek was my second trek with Outdoor Monks, and I can say no doubt that they are best team to coordinate your treks, trips and so on Outdoor Monks was sufficiently thoughtful to set up a different schedule for us since we had told them that we wanted to stay in Rishikesh for two days before the trek. In only two days they arranged so that we did rafting, bungee jumping and furthermore watched Ganga aarits. The trek was amazing. Such an amazing team, Bharath Bhai and Deeraj Bhai came with us to the trek, they were such astonishing individuals, ensured we completed the trek to the summit and also let us dance in the summit.... heehhheeee...They were soooo amazing. My first journey with Outdoor Monks was three years ago and it was Chaadar trek. They organize the treks so well. In both the treks the facilities they provided was top notch. Everything was so neatly done. Anyday I would close my eyes and choose to trek with OUTDOOR MONKS.
