9 Days Bali Pass Trek

Overview

Bali pass trek difficulty is based on the following factors - the pass has a maximum height (altitude) of 16,080 feet or 4,900 meters. The trek has a distance of 66 KM in total, starting from Taluka to the end point at Janki Chatti. It takes 6 to 7 days to complete the trek on foot. Thus we will walk around 10 KM on average everyday. The altitude of Taluka, where the trek starts from, is 6,825 feet (2080 meters). We thus have a net altitude gain of 9,250 feet (2,820 meters) over a duration of 5 days, thus climbing average of 550 meters a day or 1800 feet. That is a considerable altitude gain. The distance, altitude gain and finally the technical pass crossing make Bali Pass fall in the category of a Difficult trek. It requires physical preparation and regular exercises that must be started at least 1 month prior to trekking to the Bali Pass

Activity itinerary

Bali Pass trek has a lot to offer apart from its virgin trails and a challenging pass climb. We are surrounded either by the mighty Swargarohini or Bandarpunch ranges at almost all times. We get to see Kalanag (Black Peak) & Swargarohini Peak up close. At 6,387 meters, the Kalanag peak is highest in this region. We spend a day beside the Ruinsara Lake. The walk across the two meadows of Devsu Thatch and Thanga is breathtaking. While the trail to Bali pass turns southward towards Yamunotri ahead of Ruinsara Lake, the eastward route continues to the challenging Dhumdhar Kandi. Its a daunting pass sharing its base camp with Black Peak and goes to Harsil. The Bali pass unlike a conventional pass, which means a saddle like opening between neighboring rising ridge, rises like a peak and gives a summit like adventure when you reach the top. The same can be visually seen in the summit stretch picture of Bali pass below. Towards the end of the Bali Pass trek, we see the Bandarpunch Glacier & Saptrishi Kund. We also get an opportunity to visit the holy temple of Yamunotri. All in all, Bali Pass is a wholesome adventure that provides trekkers with every element of a Himalayan trek.
