Come, walk the path that Viceroys had blazed! In 1905, Lord Curzon reached Kuari pass through Ghat. Since then, this trek is popularly known as the Curzon Trail. Once you reach the top of the pass at 14100 ft, you are rewarded with a view of the majestic peaks of Nanda Devi, Kamet, Dronagiri and Hathi- hodi Parvat.
