Nanda Devi( 7818 mts), the beloved mountain Goddess of Garhwal Himalayas, whose teritories mark one of the highest national parks in the world , abounds some of the most fascinating mountain peaks e.g Dunagiri (7066mts.), Changbang( 6864 mts), Kalanka(6932 mts), Rishipahar(6992 mts), Trishul I and II (7210 mts & 6319 mts), Mrigthuni (6565 mts), and Bethartoli hemal(6352 mts), and some of the rare Himalayan fauna e.g snow leopard, musk deer, monal pheasant, with great variety of birds and butterflies and rare Himalayan flora.

All this can be encountered at its best on Kuari Pass trek, which starts at Auli, one of the best ski slopes (in winters) in Asia. The entire trek goes through excellent meadows and thick forests of oak, and fir (cedar), with extraordinary views of Mt. Nanda Devi- in different moods. The trek also involves negotiating a high pass i.e Kuari(4268 Mts).

We start the trek from Joshimath and pass and finish trek at Auli. The trek goes through mountain villages giving you chance to encounter the settlement patterns of locals with their life style, dialect, dress, Jewellery etc.
