Apologies for the confusion in my previous response. The Kuari Pass trek does not typically include a campsite or viewpoint called “Gulling” or “khullara  campsite.” Therefore, there may have been a misunderstanding or misinformation.

The usual route for the Kuari Pass trek involves trekking from Dhak village to Tugasi, Khullara, and then reaching the Kuari Pass. After descending from the pass, trekkers typically stay at the Tali campsite. From Tali, the trek continues to Auli and ends at Joshimath.

If you have specific information about a different route or campsite named “Gulling” or “Tail campsite,” it would be best to consult a local trekking agency or experienced guides who are familiar with the region. They will be able to provide accurate information about the trekking routes, campsites, and viewpoints that are available.

Remember, it’s essential to have reliable and up-to-date information before undertaking any trek to ensure your safety and enjoyment.
