HAMPTA PASS - A Trail of Wonder. ( Himachal Pradesh )

Hampta Pass located steeply at an altitude of 14,035 ft is recognized as a marvelous crossover trek in the dreamy landscapes of Himalayas. The trek is extraordinary for the vast diversity in topography one finds on the way. From fording mountainous rivers together hand in hand with the team, to staying the night at stunning campsites overlooking falling stars over gleaming snow peaks at Shea Goru, Hampta Pass trek holds a treasure trove of wonderful moments! The green and abundant valley scenes all around when starting from Kullu transforms into stark cold desert of Lahaul as the journey proceeds. The sweeping change in landscape is compellingly dramatic, with every day on this trek seeming to foray into a different wondrous terrain. Walk on this trek through bright forests of pine, maple, and silver birch, camp in wide open meadows under starry skies; find the Dhauladhar Range in all its glory at the golden hour, go skinny dipping in the snowmelt Rani River and revel in the heavenly grandeur of the Himalayas!
To end it all, the trip ends with a visit to famous Chandrataal lake, an alpine crescent moon shaped lake at 14000 feet in Lahaul valley.
