The name Bali Pass comes from the ancient tales of Mahabharata and the Hindu scriptures. Bali, meaning the king of monkeys, was the ruler of Kishkindha Mountain and believed to be the defeater of Ravana. However, there are many tales surrounding the mountain and it’s tough to tell for sure.
Because of the challenges involved, embarking on this journey demands physical and mental fitness, along with careful itinerary planning and proper gear preparations. Here are some very real challenges of the trek:-
The last thing trekkers’ want to be is unprepared. With so many potential dangers, comes preparation for safety. Although avoiding all the Bali Pass trek difficulties isn’t entirely possible, here are some ways in which you can be safer:-
There is a very narrow window of time when you can do this trek. The rest of the year, don’t even think about it. May and June during Summer, and September and August during Autumn are the two durations of the year that you can enjoy the fruits of Bali Pass.
The snow starts melting this time, and the sun shines brightly easing the difficulty of the Bali Pass trek. Nature flourishes, and the flora becomes a promising sight for the trekkers. This transitional period is comparatively more reliable and reduces the difficulty of the Bali Pass Trek.
The base camp for the trek is Sankri and is the most suitable starting point keeping in mind what is ahead. We have our very own homestay in Sankri which is an abode for trekkers’. One day’s stay in the base camp helps acclimatize, enjoy the gradual increase in altitude, and prevent AMS. While AMS even gets the best of Trekkers, severe symptoms can be avoided.
There are often questions if the Trek can be started from Yamnuotri. No, It is not advisable to start from Yamnuotri as its steep terrain poses a lot of danger and maximizes the difficulty of the Bali Pass trek. Starting from the wrong point also compromises the experience of the trekker.
An iterinary should always align with physical health because if not there will be more bad than good. A well-structured itinerary ensures no overexertion, is aligned with the trekkers’ capabilities, minimizes health risks, and reduces the impact of variables.
Trekking is not just about reaching the destination, it is about enjoying every part of it. This blog is not to scare you from the Bali Pass difficulties but rather for you to be prepared and careful. Rest assured, when you book your trek with Himalaya Shelter, you have a lot less to worry about. Happy trekking!
