Kuari pass, cradled in the heart of snow capped Garhwal Himalayas, is located in Chamoli district within the hill state of Uttarakhand in India. Situated at an altitude of 3,565 meters above the sea level, this pass promises to enthrall visitors by its sheer magnificence. The Kuari Pass trek was first traversed in 1905 by Lord Curzon (hence also known as Curzon Trail) and is very popular among European and American Travelers.

 

The entire area is rich in exotic flora and fauna and be ready with your camera to catch a glimpse of bharal (blue sheep), Himalayan black beer or the multi colored Himalayan monla. The trail takes you through lush green fields, remote villages and virgin forests providing you with some of the most scenic Himalayan terrain. The close range view of Mt.Nanda Devi along with numerous other peaks is the reward that awaits the trekker atop the Kuari pass!
