Dhumdhar Kandi and Bali Pass Trek

First recognized by James Baillie in 1815 as a very lofty pass which is to the north of Banderpunch and along which there is a very alarming road leading to remote parts of upper Tons Valley. The Dhumdhar Kandi pass managed to keep its secrets till 1987 when a team from West Bengal crossed it successfully. The pass connects Bhagirathi and Tons Valleys. In ancient times, it is believed that local villagers, traders and even invaders used this pass as a shortcut to get into the remote Tons Valley. It is one of the unique treks where the glaciers on either side of the pass feed two different big rivers, the Bhagirathi and the Yamuna.
