Overview
The Hampta Pass Trek is one of the most dramatic crossover treks in the Indian Himalayas, situated at an elevation of 4,270 meters (14,010 ft). Starting from the lush, green oak and pine forests of the Kullu Valley in Manali, the trail takes you through alpine meadows, roaring mountain streams, and glacial valleys before crossing the pass into the stark, breathtaking cold desert landscape of the Lahaul and Spiti region. Spanning 5 days, this moderate-level trek offers an ideal adventure for both beginner and experienced trekkers. Highlights include scenic camping at Chika and Balu Ka Ghera, trekking alongside the Rani Nallah river, panoramic views of snow-capped peaks like Indrasan and Deo Tibba, and an unforgettable excursion to the crystal-clear, high-altitude Chandratal Lake.
