According to local folklore, the Kedarkantha peak was originally intended to be the site for the Kedarnath temple. However, villagers recount that during the construction, they heard animal sounds, which were considered an ominous sign for such a spiritual endeavor. As a result, they stopped building the temple and left the statue of Lord Shiva unfinished, reaching only up to the neck. In Hindi, "neck" is called "Kanth," and one of Lord Shiva’s many names is Kedar. Thus, the place came to be known as "Kedarkantha," meaning "Kedar's Neck."

At the summit of Kedarkantha Peak, you will be rewarded with panoramic views of several spectacular valleys, including Swargarohini, Gangotri, Kalanaag, Yamunotri, and Bandarpoonch. The summit provides a breathtaking vantage point that evokes a deep sense of tranquility and spirituality. At the top, there is a small temple dedicated to Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, as well as a shrine for Lord Ganesh, adding a sacred touch to the already awe-inspiring landscape.
