Bali Pass (4950m) is an old trekking route from the Tons river valley to the Yamuna river valley. This region was made popular by Jack Gibson, a teacher at The Doon School in the late 1940’s. It continues to attract trekkers during the post monsoon season when the snow melts away. The pass is best approached from Har ki Dun Valley where the gradient is small thereby providing the necessary time to acclimatize to the altitude. The trek starts from Taluka and passes through pine forest of Govind National Park. This trek gives opportunity to experience camping above 4000m. The surrounding peaks and glaciers are a mountaineer’s delight.

What to expect

 

A trip graded as a Moderate Trek takes you to high altitude regions - above 3000m / 10,0000ft and will involve considerable altitude gain over the course of the trek. Altitude will have an effect, hence one would need to be careful about acclimatization. Moderate treks will have multiple days which involve considerable amount of ascents and descents  and would require walking for more than 6 hours. There might be a day or two of camping in relatively high altitudes above 4000m / 13,000ft. A typical trek will last around a week to ten days depending on the region and is a good step-up for people who have completed a beginner trek.

Good fitness levels are needed to enjoy these trips. Some training up before the trip would help. Prior trekking experience is desirable.
