Overview
The Kamet Base Camp trek is designed for those trekkers who have yet to gain experience before attempting the Mt Kamet Expedition. This spectacular Himalayan trek starts from the Joshimath region of Uttarakhand. An inner line permit is required if you want to embark on the Kamet Base Camp trek or if you plan to go for the Mt. Kamet expedition. Due to its challenging nature, very few trekkers undertake this adventurous Himalayan trek. If you are an adventure lover looking for offbeat treks, then this trek is definitely designed for you.
