  • Trip introduction

    This 5 day trek to Hampta Pass and Chandratal is one of the most fun treks in Himachal Pradesh. It is a moderate trek with some steep stretches, so is suitable for fit beginners. The route starts from the lush greenery of the Kullu Valley, and takes you through the pass into the arid Spiti Valley. You'll see the landscape changing with each day, and will enjoy the change from cool pine forests to rolling expanses of weather-bleached hills. The showstopper however, is the visit to the turquoise Chandratal Lake, where you'll find peace and beauty under the open skies.

    Destination

    Hampta Pass lies at 14,100 feet, in the middle of the Pir Panjal range. It serves as a crossover from Manali to Spiti Valley, and is often used by nomad shepherds and locals from the region around. One day you'll be camping alongside a stream in the middle of green hills, and the next, you'll be scrambling over boulders in a dry, brown Spiti moonscape. That apart, you will experience the thick, mixed forests of Jobra, the undulating meadows of Chikha, and the heavenly sight of Chandratal Lake.

    Destination highlights

    Trek through a stunning landscape that changes every day on the Hampta Pass and Chandratal trek. | Take on some fun river-crossings and walk along streams. | See the splendor of the Pir Panjal range around. | Marvel at the sight of Indrasan Peak and its massive glacier from Hampta Pass. | Stand in awed silence on the banks of Chandratal lake. | Camp in cosy tents and enjoy nights out in the wild.

      TGN has a very sophisticated and concise web page along with many optional details and information. This is one of the few sites that provides information about the operator. All the operators they recommend are safe, well-trained and reliable. They are easily accessible and offer reasonable deals. I've booked a trekking and river rafting trip with them already, and it was a very good experience. I'll always choose The Great Next to plan my adventure trips.
