The less frequented Bali Pass Trek connects Ruinsara-Har Ki Dun valley with Yamunotri valley. Perched at an altitude of 16,240 feet, the tricky Bali Pass trek demands that you have great physical stamina coupled with swift mental agility. A prior trekking experience will hold you in good stead as this challenging trek is meant for seasoned trekkers. The route to Bali Pass was popularised by Jack Gibson in the late 1940s, a teacher at Doon School.
Bali Pass trek is soaked in adventure and the raw terrain of this Himalayan pass declutters your mind and soul alike. Amazing hilly terrains, dense forests, lush meadows, colourful orchards enthrall you throughout the trek. As you journey along Tons, Yamuna and Supin rivers, the effervescence of these mountain rivers stirs your spirit. The sacred Ruinsara Lake and Yamunotri shrine are the calming spots of Bali pass Trek that soothe your religious sentiments. Splendid 360-degree views of the majestic trio of Kala Nag, Bandarpoonch and Swargarohini peaks stun you en route the Bali pass trek.
The trek that initially commences with an easy and gentle walk gradually transforms into a tricky and challenging walking experience ahead of Odari. The trek demands proper acclimatization, careful maneuvering of treacherous trails, smart negotiation of narrow paths and steep ascents and descents.
