The Kuari pass trek, also known as the Lord Curzon Trail, is a spectacular trek in the Garhwal Himalayas of Uttarakhand, offering some of the finest views of India’s most majestic peaks. Sitting at an altitude of around 3,650 meters, the trek presents stunning panoramas of Nanda Devi, Dronagiri, Hathi-Ghoda, and Kamet, among others. The trail winds through beautiful oak and rhododendron forests, charming Himalayan villages, and wide alpine meadows known as bugyals.
Ideal for beginners and experienced trekkers alike, the Kuari Pass Trek is moderately challenging and typically takes about 5–6 days. It’s best undertaken between March to June and September to December, with each season offering a unique experience—lush greenery in spring and summer, and snow-covered landscapes in winter. This trek is perfect for those looking to immerse themselves in the natural beauty and grandeur of the Himalayas without extremely high altitudes.
