Detailed Itinerary
Auden’s Col mountain pass is a high altitude mountain pass which is situated in Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand connecting Rudragaira valley and Bhilangna valley. Located in the beautiful Uttarkashi district at an elevation of 5,490 meters, Auden’s Col is one of the least explored treks in Uttarakhand– mainly because of its difficulty.
