An amazing mountain panorama opens before your eyes over five days on this trek, making this experience one of the must-do treks for all trekkers. Starting out of Sethan village near Manali, your trek will head toward Chikka campsite set among birch and pine trees - an ideal starting point for the Hampta Pass Trek. On this trek, you will witness breathtaking glacial areas, which will surely be an experience to cherish. Additionally, Chandra Tal Lake, with its stunning turquoise hue, is another beautiful site, while you may also come across high-altitude peaks, which will take your breath away.
Hampta Pass Trek is an ideal trek for both experienced trekkers and beginners with good physical fitness and endurance levels. Cardio and strength training exercises should be practised before embarking on this trek to increase stamina.

Escape2Explore brings you a detailed guide to this magnificent trek, covering everything you need to know to embark on this unforgettable journey.
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:
Diverse Landscapes: From pine forests and meadows to glaciers and rugged mountains, the trek is a visual delight.
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.
Wildlife Sightings: Encounter rare Himalayan flora and fauna along the trail.
Best of Two Worlds: Enjoy the lush greenery of Kullu and the dramatic barrenness of Spiti in one trek.
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.
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.
Altitude: 14,100 ft (Hampta Pass), 12,900 ft (Shea Goru)
Trek Distance: 7-8 km (6-7 hours)

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.
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.
