Kauri Pass Trek


Kauri Pass TrekRegion: Garhwal Himalayas
Season: May to October

Considered by many as characteristically the most beautiful trek in the Garhwal Himalayas, the Kauri Pass (4268 m) is a once in a lifetime experience. The area here is really wild because the higher reaches of the river in the valley have not yet been fully explored. The route is through various remote villages in the wilderness where the industrialized world has not yet managed to cast its shadow. One also passes through dense forests & alpine meadows. To reach the Pass the last ascent is very steep & exerting because the ridge on which the Pass is situated is the edge of the divide between the Lesser & the Greater Himalayas. The ridge-top is a continuous grassy meadow & affords next-door Himalayan views, one of the finest in the world. From the Pass one can view the peaks like Nanda Devi (7818 m), Dunagiri (7066m), Hathi Parvat, Ghori Parvat, Kamet, Kalanka(6932 m), Chaukhamba, Changabang (Shining Mountain) (6864 m), Neelkanth, Rishipahar (6992 m), Mrigthuni (6565 m), Bethratoli, Trishul (7210 m) etc, & one feels truly on top of the world. From Kauri Pass a day trek to Pangerchuli peak is possible from where the Greater Himalayan peaks are a whisper away.

Detailed Itinerary


Day 01: Arrive Delhi
Arrive by International flight, after traditional 'Swagat' (Welcome) our representative would assist you at airport & transfer to hotel for check in.
Delhiisa bustling metropolis, which successfully combines in its folds the ancient with modern. Its strategic location was the prime reasons why successive dynasties chose it as their seat of power. In fact, more mythological cities are believed to be here, like the city of Indraprastha from the Hindu epic Mahabharata, founded around 5000 BC. Numerous monuments were built over several centuries by different rulers like Qutub-ud-din Aibek, Alauddin Khilji, Tughlaks, Humayun & Shah Jahan, who built the Walled City Shah Jehanabad.

Later in first half of 20th century much of New Delhi was planned by Sir Edwin Lutyens, who laid out a grandiose central administrative area as a testament to British rule in India. The division in walled city & New Delhi also marks the division in life styles.
