About Kugti Valley:

Not many trekkers have heard of the Kugti Pass trek and it is not surprising why. It is virtually unexplored – and perhaps that is its beauty – one of the unknown treks of India, yet marked with all the grandness of any great Himalayan trek.

If you love trekking, then the Kugti Pass is a trek that needs to be a priority in your treks for the future.The Kugti pass trek is rare and remote – On the lower trails the trek winds through acres of apple orchards, pine forests and over miles of green meadows. Waterfalls are everywhere. Campsites spring out next to streams and green grass. On the higher slopes, the trail weaves through snowfields, glaciers, and icefalls. The thrill of high altitude is intoxicating.
