Borasu Pass october 2019

Borasu Pass or Bara-su is a high mountain pass that is located on the border of Uttaranchal and Himachal Pradesh along the border with Tibet. It was an ancient trade route between Har ki Dun valley and Kinnaur valley. It is no longer used by the locals and is an escapade for trekkers and mountaineers.

The trek starts from Taluka and passes through the lush green Har ki Dun valley. Har ki Dun is a hanging valley in the Garhwal Himalayas, surrounded by magnificent Himalayan peaks and dense forests flocked with colourful birds and wild life. The trek starts by following the boisterous Har ki Dun Ganga and ends with the colossal Baspa River. One can stay in the Forest Rest House in leisure or camp near Har ki Dun Ganga. Also, one can camp near the beautiful glacial lake at Maninda Tal a few km from Har ki Dun.

The trail passes through glacier moraine, steep narrow ridges, sheer vertical snow slopes and boulder fields. All in all, it is a nerve-wracking trek – a stunning mix of backwoods and vast meadows, packed with spurting rivers and widespread glaciers, with a view of snow-capped peaks and massive boulders.

Har ki Dun is connected to Baspa Valley by the Borasu Pass. You have several passes that connect Uttaranchal to Himachal. Towards the north is the Lamkhaga Pass and towards the south are Kimalay or the Kimloga pass (no longer used), Singha and Rupin Pass, all of which lead to the Sangla valley. This valley is snow-covered from October to March.

The trek starts from Taluka, passing through dense forests consisting of chestnut, walnut, willow and chinar trees. The trek from Osla to Har ki Dun is through terraced mountain fields, lush green grassy patches and thick coniferous forests. As Har Ki Dun falls within the Govind Pashu Vihar wildlife sanctuary, chances of seeing wildlife are high. In the sanctuary, you will find trees of Bhojpatra, the rare Brahmakamal, and colourful flora and fauna. You can see various bids like Rosefinch, Redstart, Tit, Warbler, Babbler, Thrush and many more. One can see Kalanag, Bandarpoonch, Ruinsara peaks and the majestic Swargarohini even before he reaches the pass.
