Kuari pass is one such winter trek in Uttarakhand offering the best window through which you can see these Mighty Himalayan mountain trails.

Kuari pass is the gateway to reach the mighty peaks of Himalayas nesting in Uttarakhand for those who prefer not too much of adrenaline-rush but still wish for some of the most beautiful views of the mountains, snow and the greenery. Trekking in Uttarakhand, through the Kuari pass one sees Nanda Devi Mountain, Trishul, Chaukhamba, Dronagiri, meadows and beautiful forests which offer some of the scenic beauties on the journey.

Kuari Pass Peak Trek is reckoned to have been explored by Viceroy of India, Lord Curzon, and thus is also named as Lord Curzon Trail. Tucked in the Garhwal Himalaya and a short distance from skiing destination called Auli, Kuari Pass Trek is ideal for beginners and those who wish for the real feel of being amidst the snow. The trek also opens up gateways for the unexplored to be witnessed, the rural culture to be seen and the simple living to be experienced. The trek furloughs you from your daily hustle and bustle of your life by providing you the everlasting vista of the beautiful meadows on the arm of towering peaks while cherishing the silence of the environment. The trek through Ghat is a Nature lover’s paradise with some exotic flora and fauna on display, plus the meadows of Auli and Gorson add to the picturesque Himalayan splendors.

The area here is really wild because the higher reaches of the river in the valley are still unexplored. The route is through various remote villages in the wilderness where the concrete jungle has not yet managed to cast its shadow. One can see passes through vast expanses of dense forests & alpine meadows. To reach the Pass the last ascend is very steep & exerting because the ridge on which the Pass is situated is the edge of the divide between the Lesser & the Greater Himalayas. The ridge-top is a continuous grassy meadow & affords next-door Himalayan views, one of the finest in the world.

One can experience stretches of green meadows with a complete rural outlook. The local shepherds are often seen making their herds walk through these vast meadows and the horses graze through the greenery. These scenes are priceless for those of us who are forced to live in the city-life and modernized arenas. The views offer you utter inner peace for exploring yourself. You can also know more about the rural cultures and the people by having a talk with the locals while sipping a hot cup of tea or coffee.
