Kuari which means “doorway” is a high mountain pass situated in the Garhwal region, south of the Tibetan border and on the western rim of the Nanda Devi Sanctuary. The Kuari Pass trek found fame in the early 1900′s when intrepid adventurers and mountaineers such as Lord Curzon, Eric Shipton and Bill Tilman used the passage in their pioneering explorations of the region. The Kuari Pass trek is also known as The Curzon Trail, named after the former British Viceroy Of India Lord Curzon.
