Lord Curzon made the trek to Kuari Pass, and since then
it has come to be known as Curzon's Trail. It is very
popular among Euoropean and American Travelers. In 1905,
Lord curzon reached Kuari pass from Ghat via Ramni.
Today many trekkers prefer to undertake the trek in
the reverse direction. They climb the ridge above Tapovan,
and reach Gailgarh, where the trail coming from Gorson
meets. One can also reach Kuari pass from Aull bugyal
through Gorson top.The trek should not be undertaken
in winters, as a major portion of the trail is covered
with snow. The main attraction of Curzon trail is the
majestic view of the twin peaks of Nanda Devi, Kamet,
Dronagiri, and Hathi - Ghodi parvat. Along the trek
we'll pass through pristine Rhododendron ,Oak and Deodar
forest. Rare Himalayan flora and fauna are aplenty on
the trail. At Tapovan there is a massive sulphur spring.
The waters of the spring are said to have excellent
medicinal properties.
