Hampta Pass Trek : Overview

The Hampta Pass trek is one of the most popular and scenic treks in Himachal Pradesh, India, offering trekkers a mix of dramatic landscapes and diverse terrains. It connects the lush green valleys of Kullu with the barren, rugged terrain of Lahaul and Spiti, providing a thrilling journey from one extreme to another. This moderate-level trek is ideal for adventure enthusiasts and nature lovers looking to explore the Himalayan beauty up close.

The trek begins with a drive from Manali to Jobra, followed by a hike through lush pine forests and alpine meadows. Each day, the trail gradually ascends, with trekkers experiencing a variety of terrains, including rocky paths, river crossings, and snow patches. The climb to Hampta Pass is challenging but offers breathtaking views of the valleys below. After crossing the pass, the descent into the Spiti Valley reveals a starkly different landscape of barren mountains and rugged beauty.

Hampta Pass is perfect for those seeking an adventure that combines the green vibrancy of Kullu Valley with the high-altitude desert of Spiti, making it an unforgettable Himalayan experience.

Why does the itinerary have a buffer day?

Weather plays a very big role in the running of this trek. Flights to Lukla are a fair-weather friend. A cloud covering a mountain ridge can shut down the entire airport! Hence, we suggest keeping a buffer day.The buffer day can be handy in case the weather goes bad during the trek or the team needs an extra rest day.

Bottled water can be purchased at most tea houses and shops along the route. Because of the altitude, it is recommended you drink in the region of 3-4 litres per day, although this can include tea and soup. We recommend using Lifestraw bottle. It will save you a lot of money because the higher you go the higher the prices for the bottled water.

I went on a customized EBC trip in Oct 2023. Nitin, a founding member of Eskape Trails happens to be my Junior from IIM Indore. His team was proficient in creating a custom trek plan for us. The quality of the accommodation on the trek was top-notch.
