The beautiful peak of Nanda Devi with its twin peaks, totally surrounded by a ridge wall of nearly 6 000m. The only breach in this wall is the Rishi Ganga, a wild and seemingly impenetrable gorge. The Nanda Devi basin must surely be one of the most legendary regions in the entire Himalayan chain.

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 (3 658m) itself has an unrivalled panorama of the Great Himalayan peaks including Nanda Devi (7 816m), Changabang (6 864m), Doonagiri (7 066m) and Kamet (7 756m).
