Hampta Pass Trek Tour

Package Overview

About the Hampta Pass Trek:
Hampta Pass is one of the most dramatic crossover treks you can do. Right from the beginning of this trek, the trail sets the tone for the heightened drama on its terrain.
This begins with your first campsite, Jobra, which is at the edge of the forest. Your next campsite Jwara is a wildflower meadow at the meeting point of a valley! Then there is fjord-like Balu Ka Gera and the desert oasis of Shea Goru. For a relatively short trek (5 days of trekking, perhaps), it is chock full of these rapid changes in scenery. This dramatic changes in scenery are because the Hampta valley is a narrow one. It is almost funnel-like and it stays that way until the very end of the trek at Chatru. This means that all the precipitation gets trapped in the gorge-like valley, which makes it’s ecosystem rich. Now, we have the pass crossing, which is a cherry on top of the cake. This trail climbs to the pass out of lush green valleys of Kullu to a perpendicular overhang, high in the mountains.
This overhang you stand on is the Hampta Pass. It serves as a balcony view to a different world below: the deserts of Lahaul. From the pass, you see the Lahaul valley and surrounding mountains in one wide panoramic sweep. This is one of the most incredible twists in landscapes.
