Bali Pass Trek – The Ultimate High-Altitude Adventure
The Bali Pass Trek is one of the most thrilling and demanding high-altitude expeditions in the Indian Himalayas. At a staggering elevation of 16,240 ft., this adventurous trail connects the sacred Yamunotri Valley with the enchanting Har Ki Dun Valley, offering trekkers a rare experience of traversing between two legendary valleys.
This trek is recommended only for experienced trekkers, as it involves rugged terrain, steep ascents, sharp descents, and narrow ridge walks. The journey begins at the quaint mountain village of Sankri in Uttarakhand and concludes at Janki Chatti, weaving together spirituality, raw adventure, and breathtaking scenery.
Along the route, trekkers pass through the alpine meadows of Dev Thach, the mystical Ruinsara forest, and the sacred Ruinsara Lake, which is deeply connected with Mahabharata mythology. The trail gradually transforms from lush green valleys into high-altitude snowfields and moraine, building up to the exhilarating Bali Pass crossing.
From the summit, trekkers are rewarded with unforgettable 360° views of the mighty Himalayan giants — Bandarpoonch, Kalanag, and Swargarohini peaks.
Considered one of the most unexplored and offbeat trails in the Indian Himalayas, the Bali Pass Trek is the perfect choice for adventurers seeking solitude, untouched Himalayan beauty, and a true test of endurance.

- Summer: May – June (pleasant weather, clear views, blooming meadows)
