Nanda Devi Alpine Trek

Although the Kuari Pass (3640m) is not high by Himalayan standards, the views from the Pass rival some of the finest in the entire Himalayan range.

To the north the peaks stretch to the Tibetan Plateau while to the east Nanda Devi (7816m) – the highest mountain in India - is ringed by a host of 7000m peaks.

This is one of the many highlights of this exceptional trek that follows trails through luxuriant forest of bamboo, conifer and oak and many traditional Hindu villages.

At higher elevations the meadows are carpeted with wildflowers while the serene lakes and the shepherd encampments beneath the sacred peaks add to the beauty of the area. Combine this with no shortage of magnificent campsites, an incomparable trekking service and many opportunities to wander to the high ridges and you have the essence of this fulfilling trek.
