PERFECT ESCAPES WHEN YOU’RE LOOKING FOR PERFECT GETAWAY

Auden’s Col- It is an elevated mountain pass connecting Rudugaira valley and Bhilangana valley. Auden’s Col is dubious being one of the most dangerous passes in Garhwal Himalaya and the Khatling glacier are heavily infested with crevasses. Also, one can trek from Gangotri to Kedarnath, by crossing Auden’s Col and then Mayali Pass, holiest Hindu temples. The longest and the hardest part of the trek is the descent crossing Auden’s Col (5490 m) to Khatling Glacier Camp (5000 m ) so it’s better start as early as 5 am as snow plodding becomes difficult as sun comes up. It is 55km from Jim Corbett national park this unknown and unexplored hill station is a heaven on earth. The longest view of the snow covered Himalayas is by far the best that one can ever see. Peaks from Trish UK, Nandadevi, Panchachuli all are really magnificent. This place is the best noncommercial hill station and quite close to Delhi. The Distance from Delhi is 320km only and nearest railway station is Ramnagar.
