Hampta Pass Trek
Trek Overview
The Hampta Pass, perched at an impressive altitude of 4,298 m in the Pir Panjal range of the Himalayas, offers trekkers a breathtaking blend of adventure and natural beauty. Along this stunning trail, you’ll encounter mesmerizing glaciers, gurgling mountain rivers, and awe-inspiring scenery at every turn. Spanning approximately 35 km, this trek takes you through two contrasting valleys in one adventure — the lush Kullu Valley and the dramatic Lahaul’s Chandra Valley.
