Joshimath
Kuari Pass is the only trekkable pass in winter. Irrespective of you being a seasoned trekker or a beginner the Kuari Pass is a trek you need to do.
It is a must-do for the views of some of India’s most celebrated mountains – Mt Nanda Devi (25,673 feet) and Mt. Dronagiri (23,182 feet) – in any season.
While most other mountain passes in the Himalayas lie buried in snow, Kuari Pass is only trekkable mountain pass in winter. On another note, snow is an experience on its own on this trek. The snowy floor in the perfectly crafted forests, snow flakes settled on the Oak leaves above a white carpet takes you instantly to the land which would be Santa Claus’s envy.
