Hampta Pass,Himachal Pradesh

By Sambit Ray


 Hampta pass is a high altitude trek in Himachal Pradesh's Kullu valley. It is one of the most breathtaking treks, with views of the lush green Kullu valley and the crisp opposite barren desert landscape of Spiti, making it an ideal crossover trek. Learn more about the striking and diverse features, as well as the fascinating views of Hampta Pass, in the sections below.


1. What makes the Hampta Pass trek complete?
The Hampta pass is located on the Pir Panjal range in the Himalayas at an elevation of 4270m (14040 ft). From Kullu, it serves as a gateway to Lahaul and Spiti. This is one of the most beautiful treks in the Himalayas, with campsites within arm's reach of majestic peaks like Indrasan. The contrast of the Lahaul and Spiti landscape, which surprises you when you least expect it, and the stunning Chandratal lake, which is the cherry on top, will make this trek an unforgettable experience.

At this elevation of 3000 to 3800m, there is a diverse range of wild flowers and herbs to be seen. Some of the most stunning upright rock walls, waterfalls, pine and birch trees, rhododendron forests, vastly spread out meadows, bone-chilling yet diamond white streams and rivers, hanging glaciers, 6000m peaks, and the pass itself can be found between the lush green valleys of Kullu and the barren Lahaul valley... 

2. The top 4 Hampta Pass trek highlights

With its beautiful campsites, lush meadows, exhilarating ascent to a pass, and breathtaking views of the Spiti valley, the Hampta Pass trip never fails to astound trekkers at every turn and on every day.

2.Meadows near Jwara and after Jobra

3. Moving towards the pass crossing, scree and moraines

4. Snow bridges and passes. 



3. What makes Hampta Pass the ideal trek during a monsoon?
It is inevitable that you will experience severe weather while hiking the Hampta Pass; it is part of the landscape. You very certainly will experience rain during your walk. It can occasionally rain lightly while it's cloudy or it can pour heavily for five days straight without stopping, but most of the time it will rain intermittently for two or three days. Nonetheless, this particular track gains a certain degree of appeal from the monsoon. If you decide to take this journey after the rainy season, you are in for a treat since the valley will be incredibly beautiful with green grass and wildflowers, absolutely captivating to put it mildly.

4. The terrifying stream crossing
A trip to Hampta Pass would be incomplete without crossing one of its many infamous streams. Because of the high altitude and cold weather, the streams and rivers are bitterly cold, but have a diamond white appearance due to glacier rundown. It is critical to understand how to cross these raging rivers. 

As a complete monsoon trek, the Hampta Pass Trek allows you to experience two distinct landscapes with stark contrasts. From the lush green valley of Kullu to the moon-land landscape of Lahaul and Spiti via a glaciated pass, you get to experience scenery like no other, mountains towering all around you, and a splendid display of flora that will make you want to do this trek again and again.

Final Saying.. 
Don't hesitate. Do it. Do it right now..
Let's enjoy the trekking adventure.. 

Happy travelling!
