- Trek Distance: 5-6 km | 5-6 hr.
- Accomodation: Tent
Today we will trek along the Supin River to Devsu Bugyal and cross the Devsu Bugyal meadows, we will descend through a forest cover and a sandy and stony path down to the riverbed. Crossing the Supin River we will again trek along the river banks, the river now on our right to our campsite at Rain Basera. The path may also be a little slippery toward the end so be cautious.
The trail begins with Supin River on the left and while ascending, the path soon becomes steep as you get closer to Devsu Bugyal, climbing up, you will get the views of Osla Village behind you and as you enter the Ruinsara Valley, the path becomes filled with boulders adding more challenge to your trek. 30 minutes further walk will bring you into Devsu Bugyal meadows and the meadow stretches for about 2 km. We will rest here for a while appreciating the natural beauty.
The Devsu Bugyal meadows are set amidst the Ruinsara forest and while ascending towards Devsu Bugyal, you will see a variety of Himalayan wildflowers and foliage. The forest is also home to many bird and animal species as well and hiking through the forest, you may even spot some rare species along the way.
Devsu Bugyal to Ruinsara Tal
- Altitude: 3,600 m/ 11,800 ft (Ruinsara Tal).
- Altitude difference: 500 m/ 1,600 ft.
- Trek Distance: 9 km ( 5 - 6 hrs approx.)
- Accomodation: Tent
Today is an exciting day of our trek as you will trek to the beautiful glacial lake, Ruinsara Tal. It's a 7 km trek to Ruinsara Tal and after walking for about 4 to 5 hours you will arrive at the lake.
The lovely Ruinsara Lake is surrounded by meadows and Rhododendron blooms, which amplify its beauty. The campsite is wonderfully nestled in a location where on one side is the Ruinsara Lake and on the other side the Supin River. The views from the campsite are equally as beautiful as the lake. You will see Yamuna Kanta on the southwest side, the pass that will take you to Yamunotri, the source of the Yamuna River. On the east lies the majestic mountains, the Bandarpunch peak, and Dhumdhar Kandi Range, and on the south-east, you can see Kala Nag and White peak.
You can spend the evening at your leisure and explore the area, take some beautiful pictures. At night we will enjoy a hot dinner at the campsite and retire in your tents for a good night’s sleep.
Ruinsara Tal to Odari
- Altitude: 4,000 m/ 13,100 ft.
- Trek Distance: 4 km | 3- 4 hrs.
- Accomodation: Tent
Today is a short trek from Ruinsara Tal to Odari, about 4 km. It will take about 4 to 5 hours to reach Odari. The trek starts with a descent to the Supin River along with dense vegetation and after crossing the river through a bridge, you will descend to a small meadow and continue our trek in the south-east direction along the river. A further walk for about an hour will bring you to Odari.
The name Odari means naturally made rock cave and as per the folklore, the locals believe that Sugreevs brother, Bali had spent a night here at Odari. Odari campsite also offers some stunning views of Swargrohini peaks. If you are lucky, you might find evidence of the rare Himalayan mountain bear as well. The camp is set in a unique location with the beautiful valleys below you and the Bali Pass behind you.
After lunch, the trek leader will give you a briefing and some training that will be useful when you trek toward the summit. Have proper food and sleep well so that you have good energy for your summit trek tomorrow. Being a high-altitude base camp, the temperatures at night can fall to sub-zeros and as such you need to take appropriate measures to warm yourself.
Odari to Bali col camp
- Altitude: 4,600 m/ 15,100 ft.
- Trek Distance: 5 km | 6 - 7 hr.
- Accomodation: Tent
The trek from Odari to Bali Col Camp is 5 km and the camp is situated at an altitude of 15,100 ft. Begin the trek by heading southwest towards the base camp. You will walk along a mountain ridge to reach the base camp. The trek difficulty gradually increases from Odari as you get closer to the Pass. From Odari camp, carry at least 2 liters of water with you as there are no water sources on the way to our next campsite.
Today we will be camping at an altitude of 15,100 ft so you should be properly hydrated and keep yourself as active as possible to avoid the chances of AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness). The ridge that we climb up is sharply inclined at 60 degrees, which can make for a strenuous climb even though the distance is short. The temperature also rapidly drops and acclimatization takes longer at such heights, so take all the appropriate measures and follow your trek leader’s advice. Sleep early and get as much rest as possible to trek to the summit the next day.
Bali col camp to Lower Dhamni via Bali Pass
- Altitude:
- Bali Pass: 4,950 m/ 16,200 ft.
- Lowar Dhamni: 3,350 m/ 11,100 ft.
- Trek Distance: 14 km | 10 - 11 hrs.
- Accomodation: Tent
Today is the summit as we will trek to the highest point of the trek touching an altitude of 16,200 ft. After making the summit, we will also descend to our next campsite at Lower Dhamni, which is at an elevation of 11,100 ft. Today’s trek will be the longest and the most challenging so far. Beginning our day early in the morning, we will head southeast towards the Pass.
The entire trail is filled with snow and you will have to use the skills that your trek leader taught earlier to maneuver through the snow. From the base camp, it takes about 2 to 3 hours to reach the summit and once you are at the top, you can enjoy some of the most stunning mountain views that you have ever witnessed.
Get 360-degree views of Himalayan peaks like Bandarpoonch, Swargrohini, and other ranges of the Garhwal Himalayas from the top and you will also get views of the Yamunotri Valley from here. After spending some time at the summit, we will descend to the Lower Dhamni campsite.
The trail to the summit is quite difficult and Bali Pass Summit is quite narrow itself, 10 feet long and 30 feet wide and cannot accommodate more than 20 to 30 people at a time. Overcoming all the challenges when you make it to the summit fills you with a sense of accomplishment and pure joy and the difficult climb ends up becoming extremely rewarding.
The descent to Lower Dhamni is quite challenging. Even though we are moving downhill, the descent is very steep and technical. Its almost a vertical path, so you need to be very very careful. Also, the path is full of big stones and loose stones, which adds to the difficulty. If there is snow, then it will further add to the challenge.
The difficult path does not end here, after the steep descent we have to walk on a very narrow path, which is as narrow as 6 inches in some places, so follow your trek leader and heed their advice as you climb down to Upper Dhamni. After such a challenging descent, we will rest for a while at Upper Dhamni before resuming our trek.
The trek down from Upper Dhamni to Lower Dhamni is not marked and is also quite confusing as it runs in a zig-zag maze. It is advised that everyone sticks close together and observe your trek leader and the guiding team. After crossing the meandering path, the trail flattens out and is now easily visible. After trekking for about 2 km through a forest cover, you will arrive at your Lower Dhamni campsite. After a long and tiring day, you can rest in your tents to recuperate.
Lower Dhamni to Janki Chatti and drive to Dehradun
- Altitude: 2,600 m/ 8,500 ft. (Janki Chatti)
- Trek Distance (Lower Dhamni - Janki Chatti): 8 km | 4 - 5 hr.
- Drive Distance (Janki Chatti - Dehradun): 170 km, 7-8 hrs approx.
Today is the final day of your trek and the culmination of your journey. The ascent to the Yamunotri Temple is relatively easier compared to the previous days. You’ll start on a mud trail that gradually merges into a cemented pathway leading up to the temple. The remainder of the route follows this paved trail.
At Janki Chatti, transportation has been arranged to take you back to Dehradun. We’ll leave early from the campsite to ensure a timely return. With a beautiful offbeat trekking experience and lasting memories, you'll head home after an incredible adventure. As you make your way back, you'll pass through the charming villages of the Yamunotri Valley, offering a glimpse into the local culture and daily life nestled in the mountains.
