Popularly known as the Curzon Trail, this pass reaches an elevation of 4265m. It is a gem of a trek. The blinding vision of snow peaks makes all the effort worthwhile.
Shipman writes in his book Nanda Devi: Exploration and Ascent about crossing the Kuari pass. "The top of the pass was reached by 7 o'clock (am) of a clear, cold morning and we were privileged to see what must be one of the grandest mountain views in the world."
This is a moderate trek, which presents a most enchanting view of the eastern Himalaya (almost 270 degree). On the way, you also can admire villages, local culture, wilderness, wild life and mountains.
On a clear day one can see mountains like Nanda Devi (7816m), Dunagiri (7066m), Nilgiri Parvat (6474m), Ramadan (6166m), Hathi Parvat (6727m), Gori Parvat (6708m), Neelkanth (6596m), Kamet (7756m) and Mana Peak (7272m).
Trekking in India has much to recommend it, yet surprisingly very few people go. From the high altitude desert like conditions of Ladakh, to the lush valleys of Himachal Pradesh and the great ranges of Nanda Devi and Kanchenjunga, walking in the Indian Himalaya is as varied as anywhere.Culturally fascinating and diverse, with many different tribes living in the remote valleys, this is one of the worlds great trekking destinations.
