Most
of these trekking sites are accessible from the New Delhi, Capital of
India. Munsari forms the base of trek towards the Rlam, Namik, Milam and
Poting Glaciers and Munsiari is on the arterial water body of
Gauriganga which emerges from the Milam Glacier system of the eastern
flanks of the NandaDevi Sanctuary, fed by the Kalabaland Glacier and the

Kauri
pass or Curzon’s trail is another favorite trekking passes for the
professional trekkers. Lord Curzon went up to the Kwari-pass in 1905 and
hence the trek is named after him as "Corzon Trail" A lot of European
and American travelers inhabit the place every now and then and gauge
their trekking skills with the vicinity of nature. A star attraction to
the travelers, the kauri pass offers a majestic view of the Nanda Devi,
Kamet, Dronagiri and Hathi-Ghodi Parvat. The pass is situated at a
height of 4265 meters above the sea level and is considered a challenge
by most of the trekkers due to its rough trails which passes through
forest of oak, conifer and bamboo trees. Also one can have a chance
meeting with a leopard or a Himalayan black bear while on this trail.
For
travelers on a spiritual odyssey, the trek from Kedarnath to vasukital
is a right place to be in. The goat track offers a panoramic view of
Chaukamba peaks along with mesmerizing Vasuki Lake in all its pristine
beauty. The water is crystal clear and this is accustomed with floating
blocks of glistering ice. The see through properties of water enchants
the visitor with its natural aura and one can see the rectangular slabs
of rock beneath the silently gushing water. During winters the Vasuki
Lake takes a silent precedence and completely shades itself with the
white snow.
