Uttarakhand

Om Parvat is a sacred mountain in the Kumaon Himalaya of Uttarakhand, revered primarily for the natural snow deposition on its southwest face that forms the sacred Hindu syllable 'ॐ' (Om). Located close to the Indo-Nepal border and near the Adi Kailash/Lipulekh pilgrimage circuit, Om Parvat holds both religious significance for Hindu pilgrims (who associate it with Lord Shiva) and natural interest for trekkers and photographers.

Kuari Pass (often called Curzon's Trail) is a historically and naturally significant high-altitude pass in the Garhwal Himalaya of Uttarakhand. The route gained wider attention after the early 20th century when British Viceroy Lord Curzon and his entourage explored the area, popularizing the pass among trekking enthusiasts. Naturally, Kuari Pass is valued for its sweeping panoramic views of major Himalayan peaks including Nanda Devi, Dronagiri, Chaukhamba and other summits of the Garhwal range. It lies in an ecologically sensitive zone featuring alpine meadows, rhododendron forests and seasonal snowfields.
