A classic trek that retraces the pioneering steps of Shipton and
Tilman through the Garwhal Himalaya. The Nanda Devi basin must surely be
one of the most legendary regions in the entire Himalayan chain.
The mountain itself, revered since time immemorial by all those who live
in its shadow, has long attracted the attention of mountaineers and
explorers, mystics and spiritualists, writers and everyday travellers who
have visited the area. Everest may well be the highest peak in the world
but the beautiful peak, of the Indian Himalaya, Nanda Devi must surely be the most fascinating.
The area first came to the attention of the Western world as a result of
the 19th century explorations by Traill, Graham and Longstaff but shot to
fame in the 1930’s when Shipton and Tilman forced a route into the Inner
Sanctuary. Nanda Devi is the highest mountain situated completely within
India and is surrounded by a ridge wall of nearly 6000m. The only break in
this wall is the Rishi Ganga, a wild and seemingly impenetrable gorge.
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 (3658m) itself has an unrivalled panorama of the Great
Himalayan peaks including Nanda Devi (7816m), Changabang (6864m), Dunagiri
(7066m) and Kamet (7756m).
