Kuari Pass Winter Trek Welcome to Buddy hikers Winter Treks - the beginning of unforgettable trails. Located in the depths of Garhwal Himalayas and nestled on the western rim of Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve is Kuari Pass, the only trekkable mountain pass in the winters with its summit located at an altitude of 12,500 ft. Kuari Pass trek is one of the most sought after treks in the winter season. A trek that enchants any mountain lover with its mesmerising views of the mighty Himalayan Mountain peaks, thick, dense and ancient forests with their healing energies, and exotic wildlife interactions along the trail. Whether you are a beginner getting comfortable with the cold breeze of the mountains or a pro looking to explore the depths of your limits, Kuari Pass has something to offer to everyone. And to top it off, you will be led and guided by a team of elite SF veterans from the Indian Armed Forces. An opportunity to learn from battle hardened adventurers and walk shoulder to shoulder with them, to explore your limits, and your true potential.
