Bleni Pass Trek
The trek to Bleni Pass (3700 meters) goes from the left of Kareri Lake through a very thick dense forest along sloping ridges below which are deep gorges and ravines. The region is full of wild life. Bleni Pass is at a low altitude and is a easier pass. It is frequented mostly by Gujjars and Gaddis from the nearby villages because of extensive pasturelands. Clusters of dense conifers and different kinds of perennial flowers are a rare treat offered by this place. On the way to the pass there is a rock cave built by the Gaddis. Gaddis use this pass to cross over with their sheep into the Bharmour to Kangra and vice versa. The Chamba Valley and the Pir Panjal Range can be seen from this top of the pass. Baleni Pass is one of the low lying passes, and is at the base of the Dhauladhar range. You cross alpine pastures, woods, shimmering streams, and picturesque landscapes. Nowhere else are glacial lakes as plentiful. Infect, its around Baleni that they exist at all. Kareri Lake is on the Kangra side. Lam Dal, Nag Dal and Kali Kund on the Chamba side, all within a day's trek from the pass. This trekking trail culminates at Dunali on the Chamba road.
