Hampta Pass Trek

The Hampta Pass Trek is one of the most लोकप्रिय crossover treks in the Indian Himalayas, connecting the lush green Kullu Valley to the barren desert landscape of Spiti in Himachal Pradesh. Known for its dramatic landscape change, this trek offers an incredible mix of forests, rivers, meadows, glaciers, and high-altitude passes.

Starting from Jobra near Manali, the trail passes through scenic campsites like Chika, Balu Ka Ghera, and Shea Goru. The highlight is crossing Hampta Pass at around 14,100 ft, which offers breathtaking panoramic views.

After crossing the pass, the terrain suddenly changes into the cold desert of Spiti Valley, giving trekkers a unique dual-landscape experience. Many itineraries also include a visit to the famous Chandratal Lake.

This trek is ideal for beginners with good fitness as well as experienced trekkers. It perfectly balances adventure and scenic beauty, making it one of the most recommended treks in India.
