Experience one of Himachal’s most dramatic crossover treks — the Hampta Pass Trek, a journey that transitions you from the lush green valleys of Kullu to the stark, rugged landscapes of Spiti. Perfect for both first-time trekkers and adventure seekers, this 6-day itinerary offers glacier valleys, alpine meadows, river crossings, and the chance to witness the breathtaking Chandratal Lake (moon lake), nestled at 14,000 ft.
Every day brings a new terrain — from forest trails and wildflower fields to snow-covered passes and barren highlands. With all meals, expert guides, and campsites arranged, all you have to do is lace up your boots and walk into the wild.
