Why Choose Hampta Pass for Your Next Adventure Trek?

The Hampta Pass trek is one of the most rewarding yet accessible treks in Himachal Pradesh. Sitting at an altitude of approximately 14,100 feet (4,300 meters), this trek connects the lush Kullu Valley to the arid landscapes of Lahaul and Spiti. Here are some reasons why it stands out:

  • Moderate Difficulty Level: Suitable for both beginners and experienced trekkers.

  • Cultural Experience: Passing through remote villages offers a glimpse into the local way of life.

  • Best of Two Worlds: Enjoy the lush greenery of Kullu and the dramatic barrenness of Spiti in one trek.

The Hampta Pass Trek Itinerary

Day 1: Manali to Jobra (Drive) | Trek to Chika

  • Altitude: 10,100 ft

  • Trek Distance: 2 km (45 minutes to 1 hour)

  • Highlights: Scenic drive, forest trails, and river crossings.

Your adventure begins in Manali, a popular hub for travellers and trekkers. After a short briefing and final preparations, you'll drive for about 2 hours to Jobra, the trek's starting point. The trail to Chika is relatively easy, passing through dense forests of pine, maple, and deodar trees.

Upon reaching Chika, you'll be greeted by vast meadows and the soothing sound of the Rani Nallah stream. This is where you set up camp for the night, soaking in the serenity of the Himalayas.

Day 2: Chika to Balu Ka Ghera

  • Altitude: 11,900 ft

  • Trek Distance: 6 km (4-5 hours)

  • Highlights: River crossings, boulder trails, and alpine meadows.

After breakfast, the trek gradually ascends towards Balu Ka Ghera, translating to "bed of sand." This section includes multiple river crossings, rocky patches, and breathtaking views of the surrounding peaks. The terrain becomes more barren, indicating the transition towards higher altitudes.

Camping at Balu Ka Ghera provides an incredible opportunity to stargaze under a crystal-clear Himalayan sky.

Day 3: Balu Ka Ghera to Hampta Pass | Descend to Shea Goru

  • Altitude: 14,100 ft (Hampta Pass), 12,900 ft (Shea Goru)

  • Trek Distance: 7-8 km (6-7 hours)

  • Highlights: Stunning views of the Lahaul Valley, steep ascents, and glacial crossings.

This is the most thrilling and challenging day of the trek. You'll ascend towards Hampta Pass, which offers a dramatic change in landscape. The lush greenery of Kullu gives way to the barren, rugged terrain of Lahaul and Spiti.

Reaching the Hampta Pass summit is an exhilarating moment, with panoramic views of snow-covered peaks and the valleys below. After a brief stop, you'll descend towards Shea Goru, a pristine and remote campsite surrounded by glaciers.

Day 4: Shea Goru to Chhatru | Drive to Chandratal (Optional)

  • Altitude: 10,898 ft (Chhatru)

  • Trek Distance: 5 km (3-4 hours)

  • Highlights: Desert-like landscapes, river crossings, and a glimpse of Spiti.

The descent towards Chhatru is relatively easy but requires caution due to loose rocks. Upon reaching Chhatru, you have the option to drive to the mesmerising Chandratal Lake, a high-altitude lake known for its crystal-clear waters and reflection of the surrounding peaks.

Camping near Chandratal is an experience in itself, offering surreal sunrise and sunset views.

Day 5: Chhatru to Manali (Drive)

  • Drive Duration: 5-6 hours

  • Highlights: Rohtang Pass crossing, scenic mountain views.

After breakfast, you'll drive back to Manali, passing through the famous Rohtang Pass. This marks the end of your unforgettable Hampta Pass adventure trek.
