"Standing at the
Kauri- Pass facing north, the vision sweeps from the gorges of
Trishul in the east to the peaks of Kedarnath in the west -the
Kedarnath, Chaukhamba, Nilkhantha, Kamet, gauri Parbat, Hathi
Parbat, Nandadevi, Bethartoli, Dunagiri- all arranged in
a stupendous arc--- Southwards the foothills stretch wave upon
on to dim haze of the distant plains". Lord Curzon went upto
the Kauri-Pass in 1905 and hence the trek is named after him
as Curzon Road. |

One can approach the pass from
Tapovan via Khulara, or Joshimath via Auli,
Gorson,Chitrakhantha,or Joshimath via Mrig, Tugasi, Khulara.
All the above treks meet at Gailgarh, only 5 kms north of
Kauri-Pass(Khal). From the south the pass can be reached from
Ghat via Ramni but it is longer than the other three of which
Tapovan route is the shortest (21 kms). Auli and Gorson
bugyals are charming meadows and the nature lovers prefer to
use this route for outward trek and the return by Tapovan
route. The Ghat route is rich in exotic flora and fauna
besides primitive |
| |
|
jungles with associated hazards.
The beautiful range of Delisera is only a day's trek from the
Kauri-Pass. On the far side of it is the Nandadevi sanctuary.
Snow on the range is visible till August when it melts
entirely and await the next winter. |
