Hampta Pass trek - an idyllic trek which has something for everybody
The Hampta Pass is the perfect trek for first-time trekkers and regular trekkers alike, as it covers everything from dense pine forests, serene meadows, glacial valleys and an unforgettable adventurous experience. Going into the wilderness will be one of the most intimidating yet calming experiences of all time on mountain ranges. The journey will commence from Manali to Vashist by road. Then onwards, by foot to Chikha.
Hampta Pass trek is one of the most famous and the most iconic treks in the 200+ defined trails treks in the Himachal region. It provides the most contradicting landscapes that offer a genuine surprise to the system. When trekking to the top of Hampta Pass, you're welcomed onto the opening of a different universe altogether, crossing over from the familiar views of the lush green Himalayan lands, one reaches the top of the Hampta Pass from Manali side & experiences the view on the other side, the in-your-face beauty of Lahaul & Spiti Valley! The sheer beauty is hypnotizing and it will take you a heartbeat to absorb all of this marvellous view and to breathe it in.
The Hampta Pass is also well known because it connects the "Valley of Gods' ' called Manali to "The Middle Land" called Spiti valley. On one side, it's surrounded by grasslands and splendours, while on the other side there is the raw, arid, deserted exquisiteness of Spiti. Usually, folks cross over from the Hampta Pass and head towards Chandratal Lake. On the last day, if the roads are open then you'll also get a chance to see the amazing Chandratal lake. You can usually do this post mid of June.
You don't need to worry much about acclimatization for the Hampta Pass Trek. However, as you will be reaching 14000 feet, it is always recommended to take rest and go easy to enjoy the beauty of this trek. This trek runs from the months of June to September but the best season to go for Hampta pass trek is from mid-June to September barring monsoon time. Summer or Monsoon season is deemed to be the most preferred time for the trek, you will get to experience the fairy-tale of Himalayan weather. During the beginning of the season, you will hopefully experience snow around the region. The snow starts melting around July, however, you should expect rain on the Manali side from the middle of July. Spiti Valley doesn't experience monsoons as we know and you will get to experience bright sunshine (and metaphorical rainbows, unicorns, butterflies) in this period! The maximum temperature at Hampta Pass trek remains in the range of 12 deg C to 20 deg C while the minimum temperature is from -6 deg C to 4 deg C.
Reaching the summit and the crossing of the Hampta Pass itself is an indescribable feeling. You get to see places and views that not many people get to experience; the physical challenges as well as the mental challenges you get to overcome; the most intimate and cherished bonds of friendship with your fellow adrenaline junkies (your friends and/or your family) all of it combined will be inculcated in your trip, and these itself will become a souvenir from your trip.
Adventure Valley has some interesting packages to offer for you and your friends, which include your food and stay in tents, and most importantly with an experienced mountaineering qualified trek Leader. It's time to get to know what it means when folks say the mountains are calling and I MUST GO! - it will be an enchanting trip and an unforgettable journey filled with memories that you will cherish for life!
