The 2 kms finally takes one to the ridge.

This is an ideal place to view KuariPass dominating the horizon. Overnight in tents. 08 Dakhwani - KuariPass (3800 mts/ ft) - Tali (9 kms/5-6 hrs) This day requires an early start in order to get a magnificent view at the pass. The trail from Dhakwani continues to climb through the forest until one crosses the tree line. From this point the path traverses to the left of the valley just under the pass and continues with a series of switch backs straight to the pass. The pass looks deceptively close and seems to take ages to reach . It is customary to make an early start so as to see the sun rise at the pass.Take your time, relax and enjoy photography at the pass, and capture beautiful memories forever!
