Winter Trek Kuari pass and Panchargulla Peak is one of the most scenic excursions through Garhwal region of Nanda Devi National Park. The path to the pass is also known as Curzon's Trail in honour of Lord Curzon who first travelled on it.
This trek offers clear views of some highly prominent mountains, such as Nanda Devi, Kamet, Trishul and Dunagiri. The winter season is the ideal time to trek as the snow makes the region look beautiful and challenging at the same time.
