 A
spectacular trek to the Kauri Pass skirting through the outer
wall of the Nanda Devi sanctuary, crossing three passes and
four beautiful river systems in the Garhwal Himalaya, the
Kuari Pass trek is widely popular among the European and American
travelers. At an altitude of 4265m in the heart of Chamoli
District of Uttaranchal in the northeastern part of Garhwal,
the Kauri Trek, also known as the Curzon Trail takes you through
lush green fields, remote villages and virgin forests. Providing
an enchanting view of the imposing peaks of Nanda Devi, Dunagiri,
Bethartoli and Devasthan , the Kauri
pass trek is amongst the best in the Garhwal mountains.
There are two ways through which one can reach the Kauri Way. One is through the Curzon Trail i.e from Ghat via Ramni. If taking this trek one gets to see the majestic twin peaks of Nanda Devi, Kamet, Dronagiri, and Hathi- Ghodi Parvat. Rare Himalayan flora and fauna are found aplenty on the trail. The other route which however should not be taken in the winter is from Auli Bugyal through Gorson Top.
