Roopkund Kuari Pass Trek                                                                                           

The trekkers dream come to trek is the best way to describe this trip. The trip to Roopkund or Kuari pass individually is in itself enough to get most of us gushing encomiums, but this trip is in a league of its own. With a ringside view of the peaks of the Nanda Devi sanctuary all along the way and through some of the best forest areas in Garhwal, this trek would rate as one of the best treks that one can undertake in the Himalayan region. The adventure starts with the mystique of the mystery lake and continues through the carpeted meadows of Bedni and Gurson.

And what to say of the peaks! With the gorges of Trisul in the east to Kedarnath in the west and Chaukhamba, Nilkantha, Kamet, Gauri Parbat, Hathi Parbat, Nanda Devi, Bethartoli, Dunagiri in between these, the sight takes ones breath away. As you look southward the foothills can be seen as never ending waves till the end of the horizon.
