Kuari Pass ( 09 Nights / 10 Days )

Considered by many as characteristically the most beautiful trek in the Garhwal Himalayas, the Kauri Pass (4268 m) is a once in a lifetime experience. The area here is really wild because the higher reaches of the river in the valley have not yet been fully explored. From the Pass one can view the peaks like Nanda Devi (7818 m), Dunagiri (7066m), Hathi Parvat, Ghori Parvat, Kamet, Kalanka(6932 m), Chaukhamba, Changabang (Shining Mountain) (6864 m), Neelkanth, Rishipahar (6992 m), Mrigthuni (6565 m), Bethratoli, Trishul (7210 m) etc, and one feels truly on top of the world. From Kauri Pass a day trek to Pangerchuli peak is possible from where the Greater Himalayan peaks are a whisper away.
