Kuari Pass is a very popular and Easy to Moderate level trek. It is also known as Curzon’s trail since the British viceroy, Georg Curzon attempted crossing it and loved exploring this area.

The Nanda Devi national park and the Rishi Ganga gorge are visible from the first day itself. While you camp on the lush green, infinitely unfolding meadow of the Gorsons, which can turn white anytime of the year, and as you move your head around, your eyes are gifted with grand views of 4 peaks of Chaukhamba, Neelkanth, Mana, Kamet, Hathi, Ghodi, Trishul, Nandaghunti, Nanda Devi, Dunagiri etc.
