Pindari Kanda Traill's Pass (el. 5,212 m or 17,100 ft) is a mountain pass through the Himalayas located between Nanda Devi and Nanda Kot peaks[1] in the Uttarakhand state in the districts of Pithoragarh and Bageshwar in India.
It is situated at the end of Pindari glacier and links Pindari valley to Milam valley (Lawan Gad) and said to be very difficult to cross. The pass was reached in 1830 by G.W. Traill, the first British Deputy Commissioner of Kumaon division. In 1926, it was crossed by Hugh Ruttledge.[1]
