Overview
Bali Pass Trek
Har Ki Dun Valley and Yamunotri are linked by the Bali Road, which is located at an elevation of 4,940 metres in Uttarakhand. The Bali Pass trek allows you to enjoy the unspoiled charm of the exotic Ruinsara valley and the thick Devsu Thach meadows in the Himalayas. It runs through the Ruinsara and Tons Rivers’ confluence. The area has an alpine zone of dense, raw greenery. The path travels through scenic valleys, forested fields, meadows, boulder ranges, and areas prone to landslides. Since certain parts need ropes and an ice axe to ensure a clear route, the equipment is necessary. Read More

Itinerary Details
Dehradun to Sankri
Dehardun is the starting point for the Bali Pass trek. The trekkers must arrive before 6:30 a.m. for a breathtaking trip to Sankri, the basecamp. The scenic drive takes you along adventurous Himalayan paths, where you can enjoy an amazing long drive and stop for lunch in the centre. Sankri is a bustling village in Uttarakashi's Govind Wildlife Sanctuary, located 220 kilometres from Dehradun. Arrive in the evening and check into a hotel that has been pre-booked. Now, in your spare time, go wandering in the enchanting village. Sankri market is a bustling but beautiful location with a few local-owned shops and a few restaurants. The connectivity in this area is weak, but there are intermittent BSNL and Vodafone signals. The beauty of nature and the setting sun, which makes the Himalayan peaks golden, is a sight to behold. After that, head to the hotel and spend the night there.
Day - 1
Sankri to Seema/Osla (homestay/campsite)
After breakfast, we will drive 16 kilometers from Sankri to Gangarh Village. From there, we embark on a 4-kilometer trek to Seema/Osla village, which should take about 3 to 4 hours. This trek immerses you in the Himalayan landscape, abundant with wild orchids. The journey begins in the valley along the true left of the Rupin River, with the path initially descending from Taluka village before climbing again. As we move forward, we traverse through dense forests of chestnut, walnut, willow, chinar, and various conifer trees, and pass by a few waterfalls. By late afternoon, we will arrive at Osla village, noted for its exquisite architecture, especially the Duryodhana temple, adorned with intricately carved peacocks. Along the way, you'll also witness the charm of Taluka and Dhatmeer villages. Overnight accommodation will be in a homestay or campsite in Osla/Seema village.
Day - 2
Seema/Osla to Devsu Thach
Start your day early and go on the track. After passing a bridge, look to your right for a wooden bridge across the Supin River. The trail is relatively flat and eventually ascends. After a half-hour walk, you'll arrive at Seema, where you'll find a set of Forest and GMVN guest houses as well as some Dhabas. After that, cross the Supin River via another bridge. Take the trail that leads down to the Ruinsara Gorge. Enjoy crossing a stream and passing through a landslide-prone field. There is an area with a collection of big boulders when you approach the Ruinsara park. The river is left below; climb up and take one more look at Osla village. Continue hiking for another half hour before you reach the Devsu Thach meadows, which are in full bloom. The path runs through meadows that are covered by forest. Devsu Thach is 2 kilometres deep, with “The Valley of Gods” and “Har Ki Dun Valley” clearly visible to the left. Hike all the way to the end of these meadows, pitch your tents there, and spend the night in peace.
Day - 3
Devsu Thach to Ruinsara Tal/Lake
The trail then descends steeply to the Ruinsara River below. After 20 minutes of rapid descent, you can reach a wooden bridge that spans the Ruinsara River. Cross it and follow the road into the beautiful Ruinsara gorge. The trail now consists of a series of levelled and incremental ascents over pasturelands and boulders. Pass through some mountain twists and cautiously cross landslide-prone terrain ahead. It is possible that crossing it would be challenging before you meet a waterfall on the left side. From here, the trail descends before quickly ascending again; you are now in the meadows part, which is covered in scree and snow. Go on to a wide meadow, where you can enter Untigad campsite in 30 minutes. The path runs across the Ruinsara River, with Untigad terrain on the left side of a bridge. The path leads to Ruinsara Lake, passing through a birch forest and a boulder zone. After about 45 minutes, take a look at the glacial lake below. The Ruinsara Lake is surrounded by meadows, making it an excellent camping spot.
Day - 4
Ruinsara Tal/Lake to Odari
Start the day early and continue on the trail; today's trek is not easy and involves cautious crossing. It will include river crossings, rock jumping, and wandering over avalanche areas, all of which will be fun. On the road, the Swargarohini ranges can be seen, and the first snow patches can be seen on the meadows ahead. When you hit the snow line, the climb becomes steep and slick. Join a valley and climb up the first hill; behind you, a snow ridge with Odari ice fields can be seen. The shepherds use Odari, a rock cave, to remain dry throughout the monsoon season. Reach the ice area, which will serve as your campsite for the day and will provide you with spectacular views of magnificent Swargarohini and Bandarpoonch.
Day - 5
Odari to Bali Col Camp
The journey from Odari to Bali Col Camp spans 5 kilometers, with the camp perched at an elevation of 15,100 feet. The trek commences southwest toward the base camp, navigating along a mountain ridge. As you progress from Odari, the trail's difficulty intensifies, particularly near the Pass. Ensure you carry at least 2 liters of water, as there are no water sources en route to the next campsite.Given the high altitude of 15,100 feet at tonight's campsite, it's crucial to stay well-hydrated and active to minimize the risk of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS). The ascent along the ridge is steep, with a 60-degree incline, presenting a challenging climb despite the short distance. Temperatures drop significantly at these heights, and acclimatization is essential, so adhere to your trek leader’s guidance. Aim to sleep early and rest thoroughly in preparation for the next day's summit attempt.
Day - 6
Bali col camp to Lower Dhamni via Bali Pass
Today, we reach the trek's highest point at 16,200 ft, then descend to Lower Dhamni at 11,100 ft. This will be our longest and most challenging day, beginning early as we head southeast towards the Pass. The snow-covered trail requires using skills learned from your trek leader. It takes 2 to 3 hours from the base camp to the summit, where you can enjoy stunning 360-degree views of Himalayan peaks like Bandarpoonch, Swargrohini, and the Yamunotri Valley.
The summit trail is narrow, accommodating only 20 to 30 people at a time. After soaking in the views, we descend to Lower Dhamni. This steep and technical descent requires caution, especially on paths filled with loose stones. Follow your trek leader closely on the narrow 6-inch-wide paths down to Upper Dhamni, where we'll rest briefly.The trail from Upper to Lower Dhamni is unmarked and confusing, so stay close to your group. After navigating the zig-zag path, the trail flattens out, leading through a forest for about 2 km to the Lower Dhamni campsite. After this exhausting day, rest well in your tents.
Day - 7
Lower Dhamni to Jaan ki Chatti and drive to Dehradun
Today marks the final day of your trek. The descent is relatively easy, primarily along a cement-paved trail with more downhill sections. It takes about 1 to 2 hours to reach the Yamunotri temple. After visiting the shrine, we will follow the regular pilgrim route to Janki Chatti, a 5 km trek. Transportation will be arranged from Janki Chatti to Dehradun. Departing early, you will head back home with beautiful memories from this incredible offbeat trek.
