Nanda Devi Trek Garhwal Himalaya
Nanda Devi is the second highest mountain in the Indian Himalayas. A less traveled and still lesser known trek in the vicinity of Nanda Devi Sanctuary. This is one of the most beautiful treks offering close view of peaks like Trishuli (6690 m) , Changabanga (6866 m) and Hardeol (7151 m). Nandadevi trek takes us across the picturesque meadows and valleys that border 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), Doonagiri (7066m) and Kamet (7756m).
