Hampta Pass Trek

Details:...

The Hampta pass trek begins from the lush green Kullu-Manali valley and ends in the rather barren Chandra valley of Lahaul. This is a moderately difficult trek and does not put too much physical strain on the trekkers. The trek passes through oak, walnut and alder forests hypnotizing your senses with the sheer beauty of the landscape.

The suitable time for trekking here is from May through October. The trail takes you the mountain base of Deo Tibba and Indrasan and you get an excellent view of their glaciers snaking down into the Lahaul valley.

The stark contrast between the two valleys is available to the naked eyes. While the Kullu valley abounds in flora and fauna, the Lahaul valley stands out in its barrenness. Along your path, you will come across pretty streams, glaciers and rivers, rare flowers and birds.

The experience in totality is rejuvenating and although at times it may seem arduous, the mountains reward you for your efforts with amazing views of the surroundings.

Best Season: June - October
Max. Elevation: 4200m
Duration of the Trek: 5 days
