Trekking the Nandadevi Trail

Kuari pass trek is amongst the best in the Garhwal mountains. The trail was first charted by Lord Curzon in 1905 and ever since then it has been known as the 'Curzon Trail'. It takes you through lush green fields, remote villages and virgin forests. The view of mountains like the Mt.Nanda Devi, Kamet , Dronagiri and Hathi-Ghodi Parvat, is the reward that awaits the trekker atop this pass. When Lord Curzon trekked this route he started from Ramni to reach Kuari pass. The maximum height reached during the course of trekking is 4268 mts and the trek is generally not very difficult. No matter how tired you get the fresh mountain breeze and the glorious scenery around will always rejuvenate you. Apart from the Pass, the two major attractions of this trip are Joshimath and Auli. Joshimath is where Sri Shankaracharya is said to have attained enlightenment. Auli is well known for it's skiing slopes. Hi, Yes, we are organizing a trek to Kuari Pass from October 13 to October 25, 2010
