Bali Pass Trek

Dehradun to Sankri via Mussoorie and Purola

Drive: 8 hours

• The trekking journey begins from Dehradun, making it a good criterion for people looking for treks near Delhi.

• Driving near the Tons river, and going past small country towns in Uttarakhand like Damta, Purola, Mori, and Netwar, you will arrive at the base camp Sankri.

• There is no network in this small country town, letting you take in the view of the sun strikingly setting over the nearby Greater Himalayan peaks without any distractions.

• You can stay in hotels or homestays here.

• Bali Pass Trek needs strong, solidly made trekking shoes, that have good grip, and ankle support, and can handle snow.

• You need a 50-60 liter personal bag. Make certain your bag has good hip support, shoulder support, and quick way in pockets.

• Wearing levels is the special power in the mountains. Levels give you the greatest protection from all parts.

• You will need 1 pair of inner thermals, 2 light wool levels, 1 light sweater, and 1 soft padded jacket.

• An outer padded jacket will keep the wind and cold out. Make certain that your padded jacket has a hood as well.

• One to two pairs of trek pants should be enough for this long, hard journey.

• Trekking the Bali Pass is no easy feat - but it is worth it. The views from the top are incredible, and the sense of accomplishment you will feel is unparalleled. That being said, there are a few things you should keep in mind before embarking on this journey.

• First and foremost, make sure you are properly hydrated. It is easy to forget to drink water when you are focused on the trek, but it is important to keep your body fueled. Dehydration can lead to headaches, dizziness, and fatigue - all of which will make the trek that much harder.

• Secondly, be sure to pack plenty of snacks. Granola bars, nuts, and fruit are all great options. Not only will they give you energy, but they will also help to keep your blood sugar levels stable.

• Third, dress in layers. The temperature can change quickly at high altitudes, so it is important to be prepared.

• Bali Pass is at a height close to 5000 meters, so, it will be better if you have a trekking experience.

• It is better to train yourself for two-three months before taking part in the trek.

• If possible, reach a day or two, before you begin your trek to get used to the high-altitude climate and weather conditions.

• Hire a guide who is experienced in trekking to go with you on this trek. These guides have much knowledge and are an expert on the route of the trek.
