Overview



Nestled in the Garhwal region of the Himalayas, the Kuari Pass Trek stands out as one of the best winter treks in India, making it a perfect choice for this Christmas and New Year season. Situated at an elevation of 12,516 ft, this trek is also known as the Lord Curzon Trail, named after the former Viceroy of India during the British Raj who first completed this route in 1905. Its rich history attracts not only Indian travelers but also fascinates adventurers from around the world, including many from America and Europe.


The Kuari Pass trek itinerary follows the historic path starting from Joshimath and culminating at Kuari Pass, covering a 28 km trail of gentle slopes, coniferous forests, and breathtaking views of snow-capped mountains. Along the way, we’ll traverse through hidden villages like Tugasi, Guling, and Khullara, offering you a glimpse into the local customs and traditions of Uttarakhand.


With stunning views of the Pangarchulla, Chaukhamba, Neelkanth, Dronagiri, Hathi Ghoda, and Nilgiri mountain ranges, this trek captivates travel enthusiasts and leaves a lasting impression on snow fanatics and nature lovers alike. Starting from Joshimath, the base camp for the Kuari Pass trek, our journey will lead us through picturesque Himalayan hamlets, enchanting oak and deodar forests, and pristine bugyals (meadows) that unfold like a tapestry along the trail. The breathtaking backdrop of the Nanda Devi Massif is the highlight of this adventure. Imagine camping under a blanket of stars, waking up to spectacular views of the Himalayas, and creating memories that you will cherish for a lifetime. The Kuari Pass trek is more than just an adventure; it's a transformative experience.


Given that the Kuari Pass trek falls into the easy-to-moderate category, it is accessible for both beginners and experienced trekkers, making it a fantastic choice for those looking to celebrate the festive season in the mountains. Along the journey, some lucky trekkers may even spot paw prints of Himalayan bears and snow leopards, giving a glimpse into the wildlife that thrives in this serene environment. The best time to embark on the Kuari Pass trek is from November to March. While this trek is accessible year-round, the winter months offer perfect weather conditions that enhance the overall experience. This Christmas and New Year, if you've been contemplating the ideal winter trek, look no further—Kuari Pass is as good as it gets!

The Kashmir Great Lake Trek with Just Wravel was an absolute dream come true. Words can't fully capture the emotions I felt while exploring the mesmerizing landscapes and immersing myself in the local culture. This journey touched my heart in ways I never expected, and I'm forever grateful to Just Wravel for creating such a profoundly moving experience. It's not just a trek; it's a piece of my soul forever embedded in those majestic mountains and serene lakes.

From the jaw-dropping landscapes to the trek leaders like Vishal bhai who are basically super fun nature encyclopedias, they've got it all.. I had the best time with him and definitely going to be in touch for my future trekking plans as well ?? And let's not forget the incredible staff team who whipped up some mouthwatering food! Well and that's something you wouldn't expect on a trek like that! Their culinary skills added an extra layer of delight to our adventure. Their entire team made camping easy, trekking a breeze, and every moment an adventure.

I went for a valley of flowers trek with Justwravel from July 15-20, 2023. I had an absolutely amazing experience with them. The trek leads were very experienced and ensured we had a safe and enjoyable experience. The team ensured to respond to our queries of the weather and assured us of a safe trek experience. I would recommend Justwravel!

Disha Gupta

Had an amazing experience while doing the Sar Pass trek solely because our trek leader Vishal was an amazing human being who understood the team we'll adapted to our capabilities. Some of us were slow, but that was never a problem for him, he just continued being his cheerful self and encouraged us to move on. Vishal also displayed proper planning and leadership skill. The trek was breathtaking in itself although slightly challenging so I wouldn't recommend it for beginners. I would grade it as moderate coz of the steepness of it at certain places. Also here's a pic of Vishal so you can ask for him on your trek.
