Descriptions

The Kuari pass, located in the heart of GARHWALI HIMALAYAS, derives its name from “GODDESS NANDA DEVI” considered to be the “MOUNTAIN GODDESS”, and it offers unseen sceneries to relish. As with every Himalayan trek, the route is filled with blooming forests of Oak and Rhododendron trees. Interspersed with lush green meadows, the entry to forests presents stunning views. Trekkers can interact with the local shepherds. These giant peaks seen, from the top of the KAURI which means – “A GATEWAY FOR HIMALAYAS”. The first day with views of Mount Nanda Devi, Dronagiri and other peaks, all lined in a row is a delight to watch with sky high mountains!. Trekkers can justifiably feel ‘on top of the world’ with campsites on mountain peaks. The Chitrakantha campsite in the midst of the dense forests or Khullara camps, with the backdrop of beautiful peaks is a truly refreshing feeling and a rare occasion to rejoice during your Kuari Pass Trek.
