Auden Col Trek – A Traverse from Gangotri to
Kedarnath via Mayali Pass
If you are a seasoned trekker looking for adventure in the heart of the Himalayas, add
Auden’s Col Trek to your bucket list for a one-of-a-kind trekking experience. One of the
toughest passes to cross in Uttarakhand’s Garhwal Himalayas, Auden’s Col is a glacial
corridor located at an altitude of 5,460 m (17,913 ft) and is the most challenging trek in India.
This stunning mountain pass lies between the Rudugaira Valley and Khatling Glacier and
separates the Jogin I and Gangotri III peaks.
It was first discovered in 1935 by John Bicknell Auden, an explorer, and geologist of the
Geological Survey of India, while exploring the Harsil-Gangotri Valley. He first crossed the
pass in 1939 by ascending from Rudugaira Valley and descending to Bhilangana Valley via
the Khatling Glacier. The pass was named after him to recognize his exploration and his
legacy.
