Lord Curzon's Trail — a classic winter traverse with unbroken Himalayan panoramas
Kuari Pass — formerly Lord Curzon's Trail — offers one of the finest Himalayan panoramas accessible on a moderate trek: Nanda Devi, Dronagiri, Kamet, Hathi Parbat, and Dunagiri all visible simultaneously from the 3,815m pass. A superb winter trek with reliable snow coverage.
The panorama from Kuari Pass is arguably the finest single view accessible on a moderate Himalayan trek — the entire Garhwal Himalaya from Nanda Devi to Kamet laid out on one horizon.
