ABOUT
Kuari Pass Trek
If you’re an experienced trekker or a beginner, the Kuari Pass is a trek you must take. In any season, it is a must-do for views of some of India’s most popular mountains, including Mt. Nanda Devi (25,673 feet) and Mt. Dronagiri (23,182 feet). There is an extra attraction in the winter. Its almost impeccably built woods are blanketed in snow. Snowflakes falling from the Oak leaves above a white-carpeted forest floor transport you to a land that would make Santa Claus jealous.
To begin, Kuari Pass is a four-day hike (6 days when you include the travel days from Rishikesh). The trek begins in Dhak, a small village near Joshimath in Uttarakhand’s Garhwal region. It is located in the Nanda Devi National Park.Kuari Pass is an easy-moderate trek that is suitable for those who are new to the Himalayas.
DETAILed ITINERARY
Day 01: Haridwar & to Joshimath by Tata Sumo car/Tempo Traveler. (273 km ) ( 8 to 9 hours)
Make your way to Joshimath. If you want to use our services for transportation, we will meet at 9 a.m. in Haridwar and drive to Joshimath. In Joshimath, spend the night in a guest house or a hotel or enjoy the beautiful evening of Joshimath.
Day 02: Transfer by off-road vehicle to Dhak village & Trek to Guling camp (05 km) (3-4 hours)
We leave for Dhak Village about 7:30 a.m. after breakfast to begin our trek. Keep a jacket ready in case you need it along the way, but if the sun is shining, a t-shirt and a fleece will suffice. You’ll walk up the dusty trails to Tugashi village, where you’ll find your first source of water. It’s a charming little village where you can see how the locals live their traditional lives. The landscape changes as you ascend from Tugashi village, and you’ll find yourself walking through a beautiful oak forest. Every now and then, the forest gives way to a clearing or a meadow.
Around 1 p.m., you’ll stop for lunch at Gulling, relax, and prepare our Campsite here. Gulling is located in the heart of the forest, and you’ll be glad to be there because of the picturesque landscape.
Day 03: Trek to Tali camp(3200m) (06 km) (4-5 hours)
Today gets ready for the final climb to Tali Campsite. The climb isn’t particularly steep, but you’ll be walking uphill for the next four kilometers. Tali campsite is nestled in the heart of the forest, and you’ll be glad you arrived because a team will greet you with hot drinks and snacks.
Day 04: Trek to Kuari Pass (3870m) & back Tali Camp (3200m)
Today is going to be one of the most memorable days of your life. It’ll be a lot better than the day before because you’ll be going up and down hills and snow slopes (in the winter months). The magnificent views of the mountains around you, the snowfield you’ll cross, and the feeling of being on top of the world at Kuari Top will all leave you speechless. Kuari Top, the highest point on the trail, takes about 4 hours to reach. Peaks such as Neelkantha, Nanda Devi, Hathi Ghoda Parvat, Dronagiri, Pangarchulla, and Chaukhamba can be seen today. We retrace the same path to Tali by late afternoon after spending some time at the pass.
