About Destination


Lord Curzon made the trek to Kuari Pass, and since than it has come to known as Curzon’s trail. it is very popular among European and American travelers. In 1905, Lord Corzon reached Kuari pass from Ghat via Ramni. Today many trekkers prefer to undertake the trek in the reverse direction. They climb the ridge above Tapovan, and reach Gailgarh, where the trail coming from Gorson meets. One can also reach Kuari Pass from Auli bugyal through Gorson Top and this is the best idea. The main attraction of Curzon’s trail is the majestic view of the twin peaks of Nanda Devi, Kamet, Dronagiri and Hathi-Ghodi Parvat. Along the trek we’ll pass through pristine Rhododendron, Oak and Deodar forests. Rare Himalayan Flora and Fauna are found plenty on the trail. At Tapovan there is a massive sulphur spring. The water of the spring are said to have excellent medicinal properties.
