The trek route is consisting excellent piece of scenic beauty with great Rhododendron forest. Cross the trek route, covered with meadows – the high peaks standing at distance will guide you through out the route. Extraordinary beauty of the Himalayas will show you panoramic views throughout the route. Nanda Devi peak will be visible from Auli and you will like shiny beauty in the noon sky, from there. However, more beauties are waiting for you in the next part of the route. The best part of the trek is from Khulara. The journey to Tapovan and Joshimath from there is so pleasant for your eyes that you will forget to close the eye-lids in the entire route.

The journey of the trek starts from Joshimath. You will have to ride till 6000 feet from the location to Auli. Natural beauty from the location with the peaks of Nanda Devi loving your appearance is really a striking one. From there, you will reach Gorson, the land covered with lush meadows. It will just look like a second heaven from your spot. The slopes and the perfection of them will give you a message that nature god is bet in geometry, if accuracy is concerned. From the Gorson Top, your next destination will be Tali. Ridges and Himalayan View, while trekking through the route will appear to be a painting on the canvas. Snow from all sides of trek is going to give you a perfect show of white cover.

Experience of the trek route is surely going to be a special one in your memory. Such outstanding features of topography collected altogether will not only please you, but will make you dreamy. Changes of the background of your portrait are so elaborative and prominent, that you will remain in dilemma, regarding which canvas to choose. The lush meadows will seem to have doubled the gravitational force of earth, while the coming up snow laden mountain tops are no less than them. You will feel that you are attached to them for eternal lives, otherwise how you can feel so much magnetic feel from them. Rataban, Ghori Parbat along with Hathi Parbat, from the Kuaripass, will confuse you totally. All the mountains will look similar, but you will feel amused to feel that all the mountains are pulling you with different magnetism.
