Kuari Pass Trek by Riding Solo

Kuari Pass Trek by Riding Solo

Located in the Garhwal Himalayas, Kuari Pass is a sight for the sore eyes. If you are a beginner, then this would be the right one to start with. On the way, there you will cross the beautiful forests with blooming oak & rhododendron trees. The region gives a magical view of the snow-clad peaks of Mount Nanda Devi, Dronagiri & some other peaks too. It is used extensively by the local shepherds. The trek duration is around 6 days which involves enough time for sightseeing. From Devprayag to Bhagirathi, the Alakananda confluence, the trek to Kuari Pass winds up at Haridwar after you reach there via Joshimath, the same route you took to reach Kuari Pass top.
