 Named
after a British Viceroy who trekked parts of the Curzon Trail,
and renamed after Independence as the Nehru Trail, the long
route over Kuari Pass (4268 mtrs.) in northeastern Garhwal
provides some stunning mountain views. Traversing the high ranges
without entering the permanent snowline, the ten-day trail starts on
the border with Kumaon at Gwaldam above the River Pindar and ends
around 150 kms. north, at the hot springs of Tapovan in the Dhauli
Ganga valley near Joshimath. Numerous variations and shorter trails
approaching the pass include one of around 24 kms. from Auli. The
whole route, and connected hikes, is mapped out on the Leomann map
of Kumaon-Garhwal (sheet 8 in the India Series). The best time to go
is from May to June and mid-September to November.
An ideal expedition for those not equipped to tackle glacial
terrain, the trail over Kuari Pass follows alpine meadows and
crosses several major streams, skirting the outer western edge of
the Nanda Devi National Park. Along the way you'll get excellent
views of Trishul (7120 mtrs.), the trident, Nanda Ghunti (6309 mtrs.),
and the elusive tooth-like Changabang (6864 mtrs.), while to the far
north on the border with Tibet rises the unmistakeable pyramid of
Kamet (7756 mtrs.). |
