9 Days Bali Pass Trek

I want to share my experience on the Bali Pass trek with Himalaya Shelter (May 30th), as I think future trekkers should know before booking. During the trek, I fell three times on difficult terrain, and each time our guide, Sonu, offered no assistance — no support crossing tricky sections, no warning about hazards, nothing. On my third fall, I dislocated my shoulder and sustained a fracture. Instead of stopping to help or assess the injury, Sonu simply told me to catch up and continued on ahead. I was left to manage a dislocation and fracture with no real support. For the rest of the trek, I was accompanied by only a single support staff member, with no water provided. Sonu's overall attitude was dismissive and rude throughout, not just after the injury — I never felt like safety or wellbeing was a priority for him. A trek at this difficulty level requires a guide who is attentive and responsible, especially in dangerous stretches. That was completely absent here. As a direct result of the guide's carelessness, I now have to undergo surgery for my shoulder. I would not recommend Himalaya Shelter or trekking with Sonu unless you're confident you won't need any assistance along the way.

27th May 2026.. date saved as Bali Pass Summit with HIMALAYA SHELTER. It was our 04th trek with Himalaya Shelter & as experienced earlier, everything was just superb viz camps, foods, trek management, guide.. SONU (the Trek Leader/Guide), with his experience & acumen, made the trek even more enjoyable & doable. He pushed & motivated us all throughout the trek. Overall an excellent experience with Himalaya Shelter team. Will suggest everyone to go with Himalaya Shelter and see it themselves. All thanks to HIMALAYA SHELTER.

The journey began for the Bali Pass with this wonderful group, led by Rana, who understood our needs and executed everything in detail with an exceptional quality of sensitivity and at the same time with a strong ability and flexibility that made us feel comfortable and safe. The landscape at Bali Pass and the entire route we followed from Sankri to its end at Yamunotri is of indescribable beauty! The majestic Himalayan mountains with their regal sturdiness, the river that starts calmly and grows wilder as you climb in altitude, the ever-changing nature throughout the journey—everything spoke to your heart and soul! It was so moving to be immersed in the purest form of nature and to share it with the companions you love, living it with the care and respect we received from these remarkable people! Om Namah Shivaya! 🪷🤍

We just completed 7 days Bali pass trek with Himalayan Shelter. It is really a challenging trek, but with the help of staffs of Himalayan Shelter it became a fun. Our guide was Suresh Chauhan, a very professional and well trained guide. All other staffs are well behaved and helpful. They helped us beyond their scope. I being a himalayan trekker of more than 27 years felt the same old Garhwali warmness hospitality with the group which I was habituate with. Thanks Mr. Bachan Rana to form a company with people who are rejuvenating the same old memories. Over to that we had a great trek mates. We became friends forever. Thanks a lot everyone.

Did my second trek with Himalaya Shelter a month back, this time to Bali Pass. It has always been a pleasure trekking with Himalaya Shelter and I would highly recommend Bachan Rana and Team for anyone planning for a safe and memorable trek to the mighty and beautiful Himalayas. This is a group who are extremely professional, highly experienced with the region and terrain, and would place the safety of the trekkers above anything else, all the way providing the best of the customized trekking experiences, whether it is the delicious food, quality of the camping materials, not to mention the sharing of their years of experience and knowledge of the various flora, etc. Special Thanks to Bachan Rana, Trek leads Saurabh and Suresh, along with Prashanth and 10+ support staff, the trek was such a memorable experience for the team that we cherish. Looking forward to go for more treks in the Himalayan region with the Himalaya Shelter Team.

This is my second trek with Bachan Rana and I cant stop to get impressed by his eye for detailing and customer service. He believes in the no one rule “customer is king” and does everything to deliver on it. I want to give a BIG shout out to the entire team for planning & executing my trip to perfection. If you want to gain local insights, enjoy some delicious food including some grown in the wild, sleep in top quality tents but most importantly stay safe and have a time of your life then don’t even bother looking elsewhere, just close your eyes and book with Himalaya Shelter.

Being one of their old customers, i must say they do everything to provide you with the best of services. Be it food or Equipments or personal attention. I went to Bali pass on 10th june 2023.and want to thank their team & specially Subodh(team leader) who went extra mile to make the bali pass trek happen, when most groups have not dared to complete it due to excess snow..the food was as usual tasty and nutritious.overall they ensured that i have a wonderful trekking experience..looking forward to do many more treks with you...
