The Hampta Pass trek is a thrilling adventure through diverse Himalayan landscapes, featuring lush valleys, rocky terrain, and snow-capped peaks, offering an unforgettable experience for trekkers.
Journey Begins: Depart from Manali, feeling the crisp morning air, as you drive to Jobra through winding roads bordered by lush forests and the expansive Kullu valley. The 2-hour journey showcases the vibrant landscapes of Himachal Pradesh.
Trek to Chika: Starting from Jobra, the trek to Chika is a gentle 2-3 hour walk alongside the Rani River, with the path lined by towering trees and the sound of flowing water as your constant companion. Camp at Chika, where the meadows stretch under the vast Himalayan sky.
Ascending through Valleys: With an early start, trek through diverse terrains, crossing streams and walking through alpine meadows. The trail gradually steepens, revealing the raw beauty of the Himalayas, untouched and serene. Balu Ka Ghera, a sandy, flat ground, serves as tonight's camp, nestled under a starlit sky.
Hampta Pass Challenge: The day's trek to Siagoru, crossing Hampta Pass, is the pinnacle of this journey. Starting early to traverse the steep ascent, you're rewarded with breathtaking views from the pass—contrasting landscapes of Lahaul's stark beauty and Kullu's verdant valleys. The descent to Siagoru is steep, leading to a tranquil campsite by the river.
Trek to Chatru, Drive to Chandratal: A relatively easier trek down to Chatru sets the pace for an adventurous drive to Chandratal Lake. The road to Chandratal is rugged, a testament to the raw beauty of Spiti. Chandratal, with its emerald waters, is a sight to behold, encircled by majestic mountains.
Return Journey: The drive back to Manali is a time of reflection, winding through the roads you've now become familiar with, each turn a reminder of the journey's end. The landscapes slowly transition back to the lush greenery of the Kullu valley, marking the conclusion of an unforgettable trek.
