Mt. Kedar Dome peak is a dome shaped mountain in Garhwal range of Himalayas in Uttarakhand India. The peak is 6831 meters above sea level and serves as a ski down peak if the weather is favorable. Kedar dome is relatively easy peak to climb, but would require past climbing experience and ability to survive in high altitude Himalayan weather. It is a magnificent marvel of nature and holds sentimental values to Hindus - as the peaks name itself is that of Lord Shiva.

Kedar Dome has the gentle North West flank that provides perhaps the easiest and most frequent climb in the Gangotri area.
