Good things are worth waiting for...
Whether you are looking to make new friends or want to etch a new adventure in your journal, the Kuari Pass trek itinerary might be just what you are looking for.
On the final day, as you head back to your regular life and routine, you might find your mind wandering back to the Kuari Pass trek. Well, we promise you, our tribe and team will be waiting to take you on the next adventure too!
The team arrives at the pickup point by 5.30 to 6.00 AM. After everybody gets on board, a scenic drive through Garhwal Himalayans is on the way as we head towards Joshimath which serves as a base to a number of treks and religious places in Uttarakhand.
On arrival, we will be checked into our comfortable homestays. The afternoon will be left free so that you can have a rest and acclimatize or wander within the tranquil confines of this delightful mountain town.
Have a healthy dinner as the sun dips down the hills and rest there in Joshimath.

To ensure everyone has a great time and knows what to expect, please read these important points:
For everyone’s safety and enjoyment, please don’t consume alcohol, intoxicants, or smoke at any point during the journey or trek.
Kindly complete your dinner before you board the bus.
We’ll arrange transportation based on our group size. If there are 12 or fewer of us, we’ll use a tempo traveler. For groups of 13 or more, it’ll be a mini-bus. Both options are non-AC and have push-back seats for your comfort. We appreciate your understanding regarding our travel logistics.
If you prefer to arrange your own transportation to the destination (the homestay), be sure to book the “Without Travel” option when you sign up. Please note: If you select this, you’ll need a private car for your entire trip. Public transport won’t work, as our Day 2 activities begin directly from the homestay and require continuous private car access to ensure you can fully participate in all planned activities.
Our trips are about getting out into nature, often in remote locations. Please don’t expect luxury accommodations; we focus on providing comfortable basic facilities.
We’ll provide basic, vegetarian meals. We do not serve non-vegetarian food.
Please help us keep our beautiful outdoors clean by disposing of all litter properly.
You are responsible for your personal belongings, valuables, and jewelry. Plan The Unplanned is not liable for any lost items.
While we strive to be on schedule, please be aware that traffic delays or vehicle breakdowns can sometimes occur, leading to slight delays in reaching our destination.
You’ll get an event heads-up email by Thursday of the trip week. It includes:
Solo travellers
First timers
Students
Female travellers
Families
Friends
Seasoned travellers
Fitness buffs
Coworkers

You just happen to chance upon the Plan The Unplanned website or someone who has trekked with us has spoken to you about our trips. The thought of taking such a trip starts to form in your mind, but then, you are not a trekker.
Choose the Kuari Pass trek from Joshimath and we promise you that you will not only be able to trek the entire trail, but also have an experience that you will relish and share for a long time to come. As a matter of fact, this trek might be what entices you to head on more such adventures.
Nestled in the heart of the Garhwal Himalayas, this region is known for offering some of the most spectacular sights in the world. If you are someone who likes the slower pace of life or wants to slow down intentionally, this is the trip for you.
Did you know that Lord Curzon was the one to find this trail, which is why it is named after him? The trek begins at Joshimath, a haven for those seeking the divine as well as those looking for adventure. Pass through tiny towns and hamlets, walk through floral and fragrant forests and make memories that you just might want to recreate!
