Overview

Popularly called the Curzon trail as this trek is believed to have been explored by Lord Curzon, the Kuari Pass trek is highly varied and scenic. Nestled at a huge elevation of 3876 meters above sea level, the Kuari Pass trek takes you through pristine deodar, oak, and rhododendron forest enveloped in thick layers of snow.

Visiting several popular religious sites like Devprayag, Joshimath, Haridwar, and Rishikesh add spiritual experience to your adventure holiday. Kuari Pass Trek is very popular for letting you look at Mount Nanda Devi Peak, the second-highest mountain peak of India. Colorful meadows with blooming flowers, a series of rhododendron, oak, and deodar forests make your trekking trail all the more scenic. While covering this gorgeous trek, you get to admire the mesmerizing views of holy rivers like Alaknanda and Bhagirathi.

Kuari Pass trek happens to be a great choice for both trained trekkers as well as beginners as it is not a very tough or challenging trail. The best time to plan for this rejuvenating trekking holiday is between December and March when the entire region gets covered with thick sheets of snow and the lakes are frozen.
