About this experience
Bali pass trek difficulty is based on the following factors - the pass has a maximum height (altitude) of 16,080 feet or 4,900 meters. The trek has a distance of 66 KM in total, starting from Taluka to the end point at Janki Chatti. It takes 6 to 7 days to complete the trek on foot. Thus we will walk around 10 KM on average everyday. The altitude of Taluka, where the trek starts from, is 6,825 feet (2080 meters). We thus have a net altitude gain of 9,250 feet (2,820 meters) over a duration of 5 days, thus climbing average of 550 meters a day or 1800 feet. That is a considerable altitude gain. The distance, altitude gain and finally the technical pass crossing make Bali Pass fall in the category of a Difficult trek. It requires physical preparation and regular exercises that must be started at least 1 month prior to trekking to the Bali Pass
