Jalori & Bashleo Traverse

An extremely enjoyable and easy going trek through some of the finest landscapes in Himachal with lush green forests filled with abundance of flora & fauna, sparkling streams cascading down hillsides and the magnificent snow clad mountains alll around makes this trek an unforgettable one. The trek starts from Arsu which is a fine walk of somewhat around three hrs. Sarahan is three km below the pass situated on the crest of the hill from here a beautiful view of Srikhand Mahadev peak which is of mythological significance and is said to be the one of the abode of Lord Shiva can be seen. Further the trek is extended to Bashleo pass(3,250m) after Bashleo it is all the steep down to Bathad from this tiny village the trail rises into higher hill through the thick forest of oak and chestnut by afternoon one can reach the lovely campsite of Shoja. The next destination of this trek is over the Jalori Pass( 3,136m) which ends at Sreolsar Lake, a place which is granted to be appreciated. From lake a gradual walk offers magnificent view of the hills, the campsite of taral is reached with the beautiful rest house nestling among the woods. From Taral the trail gains height and passes through thick forest here one can see variety of bird life and chances of spotting the himalayan brown bear and mohal pheasants are quite good. The himalayan langurs( apes) are a common sight. The campsite of Margi is a ideal spot. Leaving the lovely campsite of Margi is a long days walk and later part can become a trifle hot since there is a lack of forest cover, but the surrounding scenery more than make for the heat. The last destination in the trek is a small town of Dalash famous for its apple orchards.
