Nanda Devi Sanctuary Trek (#3/6) In the Year 1982 the access to the Nanda Devi National Park was banned to protect its biodiversity. The Nanda Devi Sanctuary which has been declared a World Heritage site has been partially opened in the year 2003 for restricted number of tourists. Renowned mountaineer Sir Edmund Hillary has described that the “Nanda Devi Sanctuary†is God-gifted wilderness-India’s-training ground for adventureâ€â€¦â€¦ The beautiful surroundings with abundant flora and fauna make this a sanctuary of nature.
Kauri Pass Trek (#4/6) This is our most demanding Trek as this trek is believed to be one of most scenic trek of Indian Himalayas. The famous Explorer and mountaineer Eric Shipton writes in his book Nanda Devi: Exploration and Ascent about crossing the Kauri pass. The top of the pass was reached by 7 o'clock (am) of a clear, cold morning and we were privileged to see what must be one of the grandest mountain views in the world.
The trail takes you through lush green fields, , remote mountain villages, beautiful alpine meadows carpeted with flowers and dense forests rich in wildlife.
