These days, whenever there are holidays, there is a conflict about destination. Me and my 13 Yr old son want to go up in the hills, but my wife (with younger son in tow) wants to visit a hustling bustling town in plains. So we use to spend most of the time at home
. This time though, things were different as wife and younger son had gone to her parent's home, and me and elder son (alone first time with me) had freedom to choose the destination. He kept on pestering me to choose a trekking destination. Although there are lot of options in Uttarakhand, but to be on safer side, I wanted to opt for a popular destination which also could satisfy his urge for trekking, while at the same time offering lot of photo ops. So we chose Kedarnath, which I had never visited earlier. In the end, it turned out to be worth the effort.
