Bali Pass Trek
8 Nights / 9 Days
The Bali Pass Trek is one of the most spectacular and challenging high-altitude treks located in the Garhwal region of Uttarakhand, India. This trek is famous for its pristine alpine meadows, crystal-clear glacial lakes, towering Himalayan peaks, and thrilling mountain passes. Bali Pass sits at an altitude of approximately 5,200 meters (17,060 feet), making it a true high-altitude adventure suited for experienced trekkers.
The trek typically starts from the charming village of Osla or Gangani in the Har Ki Dun valley and takes trekkers through remote and untouched landscapes, including the stunning Kedartal Lake, also known as the Shiva Lake. Crossing the Bali Pass provides panoramic views of snow-capped peaks such as Bandarpoonch, Swargarohini, and Kalanag, making it a photographer's paradise.
This trek offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, challenging terrains including snowfields, rocky ridges, and glaciers, and rich local culture as you pass through quaint Himalayan villages. The journey usually spans 10 to 12 days, including acclimatization, allowing trekkers to experience the diverse ecosystems of the Western Himalayas.
Best attempted between June and October, the Bali Pass Trek requires good physical fitness and prior trekking experience due to its high altitude and technical sections. Permits from the Uttarakhand Forest Department are mandatory, and hiring a knowledgeable guide is highly recommended for safety.
The Bali Pass Trek is a gateway to some of the most remote Himalayan landscapes and remains one of the most rewarding treks for adventure enthusiasts seeking solitude, breathtaking vistas, and a deep connection with nature.
