Hamta Pass lies at an altitude of 4270 m (14039 ft) on the Pir Panjal range in the Himalayas. It is a small corridor between Lahaul’s Chandra Valley and Kullu valley of Himachal Pradesh, India. This is one of the most picturesque and enchanting treks in the Manali region of Himachal Pradesh.
The trek starts from Manali, a beautiful hill station in Himachal Pradesh and will take you to different places in the Himalayas. Walk through colorful flower beds and trail which lie between the mountains. You will find yourself standing in the middle of clouds all around you. The wide snow fields will take your breath away. You will be amaze to see the views after reaching at the top of Hampta Pass.
We will start a drive in a vehicle arranged by THRILL BLAZERS from the reporting point 11:00 AM with your packed lunch to start the trek. We will start with a jeep ride to Jobra.
While moving towards Hampta Dam we will get to view the exquisitely beautiful Pine forests, rock faces and trees like Maple, Walnut and Oak.
We will trek from Hampta dam till Chikka, which is our campsite for the first day. It takes around 2 hours to complete this part of the trek. The trek is easy with very less ascend. There is a small forest patch and then two wooden bridges to get you to the camp site. Chikka camp site is identified by big boulders and a beautiful waterfall.

This is the crowning day of your trip and the most challenging one. The trek is long on this day and should be started at around 7 AM. It would take approximately 5-6 hours to reach the top.
As we start walking towards the mountains from Balu Ka Gera along the river for an hour when the gradient begins, the trail takes you straight towards Hampta Pass. In no time, you will see the first plateau, the magnificent DeoTibba peak right in front of you. Climb up the ridges as you come closer to Hampta Pass.
The climb is vertical and steep which demands concentration and effort, which is all worth at the end. Now at 14,100 ft., you are on top of Hampta Pass with breathtaking views that will leave you in awe. The descent is slightly trickier than the ascent as always. It can vary slightly depending on the snow condition too.

Today’s hike is a gentle one and will take about 5 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.
Here your trek comes to an end. Have breakfast and leave for your return journey to Manali.
