"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. |
