Bharmour-Palampur across Jalsu Pass
Jalsu Pass (3425 meters) is perhaps the easiest in Dhauladhar connecting upper Ravi Valley with Kangra. Since altitude is less and grade is moderate it is most freqented by locals crossing over to Kangra. People from Bhara Bhangal cross Jalsu Pass with their cattle when Thamsar Pass closes. The pass opens up very early. Those used to walking in snow can cross it even in May and November. Jalsu is an experience in itself. The rolling grasslands with vegetation extending deep into the trail, sprinkling of conifers, rhododendron bushes and the beautiful yellow grass flowers offer a colourful experience which few other passes can match. Unlike other Dhauladhar passes, its beauty is not in the bareness and rockiness but in the variety of vegetation it supports and colours it shows on both sides. You also meet a lot of people on the way, shepherds, shopkeepers, tourists. So, if you are here to meet people, understand culture while also appreciating the views, this is the pass for you. Pir Panjal ranges are visible but the perspective is completely different. Being a popular shepherd trail, there are lots of temporary stops with food and shelter on offer.
