Nestled at an altitude of 14,000 ft Hampta Pass trek is undoubtedly one of the most popular treks in the Himalayas. But why? Let us divulge the well-kept secret, step-by-step, fold-by-fold. Because this trek is cloaked in the mysteries of not only dramatic landscapes but also the lure of local lore! Ohh the adventure!
First and foremost – it is a cross-over trek. That means you get to experience the theatrical change in landscapes and all things that are associated with is. From lush green forest and valleys to the boulder section, from river crossing and getting wet to landing in the dry, arid land – you get it all in this one trek!

Hampta Pass is spread across the lush green valleys of Kullu-Manali to the arid and barren landscapes of Chandra Valley in Lahaul. This trek presents the amalgamation of distinct landscapes and cultures, which is a unique experience in itself. The trek entwines along rocky paths, grasslands, gushing streams, cascading waterfalls, hanging glaciers, and the beautiful crescent-shaped emerald lake ‘Chandratal’.
And here is the “cherry the top” - witness the confluence of three passes, Hampta Pass, Rohtang Pass, and Spiti, which is quite a surreal experience and not to mention a close encounter with the Buddhist culture and the lifestyle in the remote Himalayan villages. The inhabitants of Sethan are originally migrants from Tibet and Spiti Valley and you will get to observe their distinct culture and traditions.
