The reasons you must do Kuari Pass treks are:
The Kuari Pass Trek is famously known as the Curzon Trail, named after Lord Curzon, the British Viceroy of India, who explored the Garhwal Himalayas in the early 20th century.
The trail was originally used by British explorers and officials as a route to map the high-altitude regions and study the Himalayan terrain. Today, trekkers follow the same historic path, passing through dense forests, alpine meadows, and remote Garhwali villages, experiencing the same landscapes that inspired early explorers.
Walking this trail offers a unique sense of adventure and legacy, as you trace the footsteps of pioneers who first charted these mountains. Along the way, you’ll encounter traditional villages, flowing streams, and panoramic Himalayan vistas, all of which reflect both the natural beauty and cultural heritage of the region. The Curzon Trail connects modern trekking with history, making the journey to Kuari Pass not only a physical adventure but also a walk through time.
