Kedarkantha also has interesting mythology associated with it. The mythology is that Kedarkantha was where Lord Shiva used to meditate before moving to Kedarnath.
The beautiful Juda Ka Talab is where the water droplets fallen from Lord Shiva's hair had turned into this small pond. The trek offers view of the revered and sacred Swargarohini peak which translates to Stairway to Heaven and is the same peak where the Yudhishthira, the eldest of the Pandavas along with his dog reached heaven from this godly peak.
