- Bali Pass Trek - The Bali Pass trek offers an untouched path and a rigorous ascent over the pass. Throughout the journey, we are encircled by the imposing Swargarohini or Bandarpunch mountain ranges. Views of Kalanag (Black Peak) and Swargarohini Peak are prominent, with Kalanag standing as the tallest peak in the vicinity at 6,387 meters. A day is spent by the serene Ruinsara Lake. The passage through the meadows of Devsu Thatch and Thanga is nothing short of spectacular. The route to Bali Pass diverges south towards Yamunotri just beyond Ruinsara Lake, while the path heading east continues to the formidable Dhumdhar Kandi. This challenging pass shares its base camp with Black Peak and leads to Harsil. Unlike typical passes that resemble a gap between adjacent elevations, Bali Pass ascends like a summit, offering an exhilarating peak-like experience at its apex, as depicted in the summit stretch image of Bali Pass. Nearing the conclusion of the trek, we witness the Bandarpunch Glacier & Saptrishi Kund. Additionally, there’s a chance to visit the sacred Yamunotri temple. In essence, the Bali Pass trek is a comprehensive adventure that delivers every aspect of a classic Himalayan trek.

The challenge level of the Bali Pass trek is influenced by several factors - it peaks at an altitude of 16,080 feet, which is approximately 4,900 meters above sea level. Trek participants cover a total distance of 66 kilometers, commencing at Taluka and concluding at Janki Chatti, demanding 6 to 7 days to traverse on foot. Consequently, trekkers cover an average distance of about 10 kilometers each day. The starting point, Taluka, is situated at an elevation of 6,825 feet (or 2080 meters), which means the trek involves an overall elevation gain of 9,250 feet (or 2,820 meters) spread across 5 days. This translates to an average daily ascension of 550 meters or 1,800 feet, a significant climb. Considering the distance to be covered, the elevation gain, and the technicalities required to cross the pass, Bali Pass trek is classified as a Difficult trek. Adequate physical conditioning and regular workouts, which should begin at least a month before the trek, are essential for those planning to attempt the Bali Pass.
