A nature lover’s paradise
Kuari Pass Trek is known as the Lord Curzon Trail as it was discovered by the Viceroy of India, Lord Curzon. As one of the top winter treks in trek, Kuari Pass is perfect for beginners looking to trek in the snow and not face a challenge with the hike or altitude. In the winter, Kuari Pass is engulfed in thick swathes of snow as it is located in the Garhwal Himalayan mountains, a short distance from the popular skiing resort, Auli. The trail of the Kuarii trek encompasses hidden sections, rustic hamlets and even snow-covered ridges. The trek takes you away from the everyday grind of life by promising an endless view of lush meadows on the arm of towering peaks. The trek through Ghat is nothing less than a nature lover’s dream–with diverse flora and fauna on exhibit, and the blooming meadows of Auli and Gorson dotting the exotic trail. The winter Kuari Pass trek even offers a rafting trip on the holy Ganges and a visit to the serene ghats and ashrams of Rishikesh.
