This classic trek takes us across the picturesque meadows and valleys
that border the western edge of the Nanda Devi Sanctuary. The route we
follow was used by Shipton and Tilman on their amazing journey to the
Nanda Devi basin. During the trek there are many views of the surrounding
peaks and the Kuari Pass (3658m) itself has an unrivalled panorama of the
Great Himalayan peaks including Nanda Devi (7816m), Changabang (6864m),
Dunagiri (7066m) and Kamet (7756m).

A
classic trek that retraces the pioneering steps of Shipton and Tilman
through the Garwhal Himalaya. The Nanda Devi basin must surely be one of
the most legendary regions in the entire Himalayan chain. The mountain
itself, revered since time immemorial by all those who live in its shadow,
has long attracted the attention of the pioneering mountaineers and
explorers, mystics and spiritualists, writers and everyday travellers who
have visited the area. Everest may well be the highest peak in the world
but the beautiful peak of Nanda Devi must surely be the most fascinating.
The area first came to the attention of the Western world as a result of
the 19th century explorations by Traill, Graham and Longstaff but shot to
fame in the 1930’s when Shipton and Tilman forced a route into the Inner
Sanctuary. Nanda Devi is the highest mountain situated completely within
India and is surrounded by a ridge wall of nearly 6000m. The only break in
this wall is the Rishi Ganga, a wild and seemingly impenetrable gorge.
