About This Trek

Kuari Pass is famous for being the trail taken by Lord Curzon in 1905. The reason it is so popular is simple: it offers the most up-close and unending views of some of India’s most celebrated peaks - Nanda Devi (7816m), Dronagiri, Kamet, Hathi-Ghoda Parbat, and more. The trail passes through ancient forests of Oak and Rhododendron, opening into meadows (Bugyals) like Guling and Khullara.
