Overview

Garhwal, Uttarakhand | Group size- Max. 09

A mid-altitude mountain pass situated in Garwhal Himalayas which offers stunning views is Kuari Pass trek. The best time to do this trek is in winter, as your heart will melt once you see everything covered in snow. One of the greatest things discovered by Lord Curzon is the offbeat route to reach Kuari Pass.

The trek begins from Pipalkoti in the Chamoli district and passes through small and beautiful villages of the Himalayas. As we move forward, you will encounter a mesmerising view of yellow and orange trees along with a contrast of blue and brown snow-covered mountains. As the trail leads through the jungles of Oak and Deodar trees you can also experience some wildlife. Going through rich Himalayan meadows and a few more passes you will reach the highest pass and your destination, Kuari Pass. The highlight of the trek is the Nanda Devi Massif. The trek is not too harsh but with a few physical efforts, one can enjoy some views which are to die for!

Haridwar to joshimath

After meeting at Haridwar in the morning at the given time our journey will go via rishikesh and Devprayag which is a confluence of Ganges and Alaknanda river, the whole road is in good condition and initially goes along the scenic Ganges river rushing down the mountain. Stay at a guest house/Hotel at Joshimath. Joshimath is a small town which receives a lot of tourists for being very close to the Hindu pilgrimage of Badrinath.

Joshimath to Dhak to Guling(2943m)- 12 km drive and 6 km trek

After breakfast at the guest house we head towards Dhak village which is a 12 km drive and usually takes one hour, from here the trek starts which goes through villages and many local farms and an easy ascend, the whole trail is dominated by the mighty Mt. Dunagiri on the opposite side. The trail has many constructed resting points and also water sources.

Tali to Kuari pass(3758m) to Tali-13 km trek

Today we start early in the morning through the forest and follow the trail which would take us over the meadow of Chitrakantha, and eventually to the ridge that connects to the Kuari pass. It would be an easy walk with a very gradual height gain and then after crossing the Khulara ridge which is marked by a small stone made shrine. The final push to Kuari pass is again an easy traverse after reaching the pass and spending the right amount of time over the top we follow the same route to the Tali campsite. The view from the Kuari Pass is amazing as the higher ranges of Garhwal Himalayas dominate the landscape.

Tali to Auli via Gurso Bugyal- 9 km trek

This is the last day of the trail and takes you through an amazing variety of scenic beauty ranging from forests, lakes, valleys, and most importantly the magnificent view of Mt. Nanda Devi which is the highest peak in India with all faces of mountains within the Indian Borders. The trail is an easy traverse along a ridge which later opens up in the meadows of Auli. Also, Auli is famous as the skiing capital of India, from here the cab will pick us up and drive us to the guest house.

Your journey to Tranquility awaits, only a few more steps to go :)
