The Hamta Pass Trek

 

Hampta Pass Trek is one of the most delightful treks in the Manali region, located in Himachal. It's an excellent option for the trekkers who are reasonably fit. This trek proceeds through forests of walnut, oak and the occasional alder which keep you spellbound with their sheer grandeur and spectacular beauty.

This short trek begins from the lush green valley of Kullu-Manali and ends in the barren landscape of Chandra valley in Lahual. This is a moderate trek with a scope for varying the duration to suit ones time. The appropriate period to visit this place is May to October. This trek is also possible in the Monsoons when the wild flowers are in full bloom.

The trail goes right up to the base of the high mountains of Deo Tibba, Indrasan and their Glaciers. The initial trek follows the river valley leading to the Hampta pass. Deo Tibba is popular among climbers who have good mountaineering knowledge.
01 Manali to Sathen (2500 meters)

On the first day we will drive from Manali to Prini village. This path leads from the village and is a zig-zag trail, which leads to the valley floors and offers an extensive view. Thereafter, an easy path leads to the famous village called Khangapa. The people of this village have migrated from Spiti.

02 Sathen to Balu Gyara (300 meters)

This trek begins by walking through the forest of Mapple, Silver fir, Pine and oak, paved by the grass and stone fields of the wild flowers. While crossing, there is a slope from the high cliffs. It is an ideal location for the end of the day.

03 Balu Gyara to Shetha Gahru. (3,700 meters) Over Hampta pass (4200 meters)

We will begin towards the mighty Hampta pass, and soon the distant valley of Lahual/ Spiti comes in to view. From the pass, we can enjoy the view of splendid Himalayan peaks, Deo tibba, Indrasan peak and Indra kila. Slowly the landscape starts getting rugged. From here, we will descend for an hour to the meadow of Shea Gahru; a beautiful camp site on the foot of the glacier.

04 Shea Gahru to Chatru (3,360mtr)

This trail moves down towards the left bank of the Nallah. Soon, the Chandra River is in view after three hours of travel towards Chatru. The jeep will pick us from the Chhatru and will drive back to Rangrik.
