Kuari Pass Trek
Experience the adventure of a lifetime
Known as the Gateway to the Garhwal Himalayas, the Kuari Pass Trek is one of the most scenic and historically rich trails in Uttarakhand. Famously known as the Lord Curzon Trail, this trek perfectly captures the essence of the Indian Himalayas — ancient forests, wide open meadows, charming villages, and panoramic mountain vistas that stay with you long after you return.
At an altitude of around *12,500 ft, Kuari Pass literally means “the doorway,” and true to its name, it opens up a magnificent view of some of the greatest Himalayan peaks — Nanda Devi, Dronagiri, Kamet, Chaukhamba, Trishul, Hathi-Ghoda, and Neelkanth. Few trails in India offer such a grand and close view of the 7000-meter giants of the Garhwal range.
The Wildvoyages Experience
At Wildvoyages, we curate the Kuari Pass trek not just as a journey through the Himalayas, but as an experience that blends nature, learning, and local culture. Our route begins from Joshimath, a historic town that serves as the base for several expeditions. The trail winds through traditional mountain villages like Dhak, Tugasi, and Guling, where trekkers experience the warm hospitality of the Garhwali people and gain a glimpse into the simple yet inspiring life of the Himalayas.
The trek passes through dense oak and rhododendron forests, opens up to stunning alpine meadows such as Gorson Bugyal, and finally leads to the snow-clad ridge of Kuari Pass. Whether it’s the soft glow of sunrise over Nanda Devi, the sound of wind rustling through pine forests, or the sight of shepherd huts scattered across meadows — every moment on this trail connects you deeply with nature.
Our experienced mountain guides and local staff ensure that your trek is not only safe but also enriching — balancing adventure with awareness about sustainable trekking practices, responsible waste management, and respect for local communities.
