KUARI PASS - A HIKERS PARADISE

Описание: In 1905, Lord Curzon reached Kuari Pass (3757 m). Kuaripass means "door way". He made the trek, and since then it is also known as the Curzon trail.The main attraction of it is the imposing view of the eastern peaks of Garhwal Himalayas, the twin peaks of Nanda Devi, Kamet, Dronagiri, Trishul, Bertholi, Hathi Ghodi Parvat, Mana, and Neelkanth peaks. The trek passes through Pristine Rhododendron, oak and deodar forest.The Kuari Pass trek is a highly varied & scenic trek.

Kuari Pass is not just another winter trek.

Sure you get to enjoy snowfall and build a snowman. What you also get on this trek is views of so many star attraction peaks of the Garhwal Ranges which are popular among mountaineers. And the best part these peaks start revealing themselves right from the Day 1.

So, +1 to Kuari Pass!

Know about Mt. Rushmore in South Dakota, USA? That’s how the sight of Auli looks like. (well! not exzctly, but nearly) The feeling of being surrounded by all these peaks is a feeling you can’t put in words.

Or maybe there’s a word for it. Glorious!

FYI, you get a 360 degree view of all these peaks from Pangarchulla Peak. So, all in all, Kuari Pass- Pangarchulla Trek itinerary is high on ROI.

Here are all the peaks you will see on Kuari Pass Trek:


Mt. Dronagiri/ Dunagiri (7,066 m)
This peak is the show-opener

Nanda Devi (7,816 m)

You are lucky for you will get a clear perspective of India’s 2nd highest peak on Day 1 of Kuari Pass when you start your trek from Auli.

Hathi-Ghori Parbat (6,727 m and 6,708 m respectively)

The two adjacent peaks are not hard to recognize because of their uncanny shapes.

Chaukhamba (7,138 m)

This massive massif is hard to miss at the campsite of Gelghad when the sky is clear. In the morning, the massif shines bright in the sunlight. The view will take your breath away.

Neelkanth (6,597 m)

Next to Chaukhamba Massif lies one of the most revered peaks in the Hindu Deity, Neelkanth.

When you take a panoramic sweep enroute Pangarchulla, you also get the views of Kamet, Mana, Mandir, Barmatia, Lampak I and II. On the days of clear weather, you will feel blessed to be in the presence of such sensational sight.


You also get a glimpse of Mt. Trishul (7,120 m) and Nandaghunti (6,309 m) enroute Pangarchulla Peak. Though the view may not be as great as one gets to see on Roopkund Trek.

Isn't it such a delight to be in presence of all 6000-ers and 7000-ers? It sure makes you proud of Indian Himalayas who are home to so many beautiful peaks.

Campsite on this trek :

Tali - the forest right out from LOTR series

For me, Tali was a jungle site right out of LOTR settings. Our camp was surrounded by thick Rhododendron forests. Sitting in my tent, it felt like I was in a Hobbit hole.

In winters, this place gets thick snowfall. The sunlight cuts right through the trees. The place is so cozy it will make you feel at home. You will also walk across the thick forests of Chitrakantha en route Tali.

Tali Lake is 2 km away from this campsite which you should not miss on your way. On clear and calm days, you can see the reflection of Nanda Devi in its waters.

Water source: Any water body you see in Tali is a resultant of underground water stored in mountain caves. But it a pretty crowded campsite, fight for clean water will be there.

Temperature: Milder than Gelghad. Since it is in the middle of the forest, you are shielded from cold winds.

Look out for: Bears and foxes. Lol, JK! Enjoy the pleasant sun-kissed mornings along with your cup of Rhododendron Tea.

Network: BSNL users are lucky to find the network here.
