Hampta Pass Trek Uttarakhand
Hampta Pass is perched at an elevation of 4,270m (14039ft) on the Pir Panjal range in the Himalayas. It is a small passage between the Lahaul Chandra Valley and Kullu Valley in Himachal Pradesh. It is one of the best and convenient treks in Manali, Himachal Pradesh. Hampta Pass adventure trek will take you to the valley of wildflowers, alpine Meadows of conifer forest, rock walls, amazing waterfalls, snow-white glaciers, and a lot more. The trail takes you to the lush green valleys of Kullu. Hampta Pass serves as a balcony view to a different new world while crossing the pass you see the Lahaul Valley deserts all surrounded by mountains.
Hampta Pass is a crossover trek where the scenery keeps changing as it starts from the lush greenery of Kullu region and ends in the arid desert of Spiti. This is an all in one trek where you go through alpine forests of (Maple, Brich, Oak, Deodar) and enter the wide meadows, trekking next to the streams and once you reach the start of the snowline it’s a steep ascend all the way to the pass. You are treated to a unique variety of exotic mountain wildflowers all through the trek.
These beautiful flowers embellish the landscape, the mighty rocks standing against the backdrop of delicate flowers make for a unique sight. You can expect three different scene changes in just the first two days from alpine forest to the green meadows and then to moraine. One can see a green valley on one side and a cold desert valley on the other side at a time.Initial side of the pass is gradual ascent which helps in a successful summit and the other side of a pass is steep descent which gives all the mountain rush you were waiting for. Indrasan, Deo Tibba and Indrakila are visible from the pass. Stream crossing through icy cold waters is one of the most thrilling experiences of Hampta Pass Trek but it can get tricky. You would find two water crossings during the trek.

Day 1: MANALI (2000M) – JOBRA (2707M) – CHIKHA (3000M) DRIVE/45 MINS & TREK/2 HRS
In the morning, we drive to the dam site at Jobra and from here walk through a very pleasant landscape. The walk initially will take us through a mixed forest having pines, spruce, deodar, chestnut and maple trees. We cross a beautiful meadow having a gaddi shepherd camp there. We will need to cross the river at a vantage point if the gaddis haven’t made a makeshift bridge somewhere along the river. We cross the river and climb to a beautiful meadow called Chikha along a side stream. Today’s hike is a gentle one and will take about 2 hrs. Having rested for some time one will be advised to walk up a short distance to a nearby waterfall which also plays host to a number of white capped redstarts. Overnight in tents.
Day 2: CHIKHA (3000M) – BALU-KA-GHEERA (3600M) TREK/4-5 HRS
It’s an interesting day’s hike today. We cross the stream immediately after the campsite and start gaining height and moving towards a gorge section towards the right side moving along the river. We will walk through boulder sections, meadows filled with wildflowers, cross a waterfall and a side river which might require careful handling to reach our campsite for the day, Balu-ka-Gheera. This hike will take about 3.5 to 4 hrs with a few breaks in between. This campsite is along a network of river channels and has big mountains guarding it on all sides. Our guides might also take the decision to walk for an additional hour and reach an upper campsite also called by the same name. This will make next day’s climb a bit shorter. We rest and relax at the campsite and get charged for the next day’s climb to Hampta pass. Overnight in tents.
Day 3: BALU-KA-GHEERA (3600M) – HAMPTA PASS (4300M) – BALU-KA-GHEERA (3600M) TREK/7-8 HRS
Today weather and trail conditions will decide what time we leave but it’s going to be an early morning departure for sure, between 5 to 6 a.m. The walk is in all probability going to be partially/completely on snow depending upon season and weather conditions. From the camp we start with a steep climb on scree slopes to reach a ridge and from here we continue climbing towards another ridge which leads to the pass. This climb will take about 4-5 hrs and one will be rewarded with absolutely out of the world views all around. Indrasan and Deotibba peaks completely dominate the landscape and the ranges towards Lahaul look quite majestic. We spend some time at the top taking pictures and to have lunch and having regained our energy start climbing down back towards Balu Ka Gheera. This descent will take about 2-3 hrs. Overnight in tents.
Day 4: BALU-KA-GHEERA (3600M) – CHIKHA (3000M) - JOBRA (2707M) – MANALI (2000M) TREK/5-6 HRS
On this day we trek back to Jobra via chikha. This will take about 5-6 hours. From Jobra we board the vehicle and drive back to Manali. The trek ends here.
