Tour Itinerary

Meet our Trivikal representative at Manali base camp. After a hearty breakfast, drive to Jobra, the trek’s starting point. Begin a short hike through pine forests and beside the Rani Nallah river to Chika — your first campsite surrounded by Dhauladhar views.


The trail ascends gradually through wildflowers, stream crossings, and rocky terrain. You’ll start seeing dramatic changes in the landscape as you reach the alpine campsite at Balu Ka Ghera, perfect for stargazing beneath towering peaks.


Today’s the most challenging and rewarding day. You’ll climb steep ridges to Hampta Pass (14,100 ft), where the Himalayan views will take your breath away. After a short break at the summit, descend through snowy paths and scree to reach Shea Goru, a tranquil valley near a glacial stream.


Hike down to Chhatru, where the green fades into Spiti’s brown and grey desert hues. After lunch, drive to Chandratal Lake (weather permitting), a surreal high-altitude lake shaped like a crescent moon. Return to Chhatru for your last night under the stars.


Bid farewell to the mountains and drive back to Manali via the iconic Atal Tunnel, reflecting on the stunning journey you’ve just completed.

Know Before You Go

Before you lace up your boots and head into the wild, here are a few essential guidelines to ensure your trek is safe, sustainable, and enjoyable:

Travel Essentials

  • Always carry a valid government-issued photo ID (Aadhaar, Passport, etc.) — mandatory for check-ins and permits.
  • Acclimatization is key! Spend at least a day in Manali to help your body adjust to high altitudes and lower oxygen levels.

Health & Safety

  • Follow your trek leader’s instructions carefully — they’re trained to navigate both the trail and emergencies.
  • Bring a personal first-aid kit and any essential medications. Though basic medical support is provided, your personal meds are best.
  • Trivikal reserves the right to alter the itinerary in case of natural calamities or unforeseen events. While we ensure minimal disruption, such changes are beyond the package coverage.

Packing & Luggage

  • Pack light. Overpacking leads to discomfort and fatigue during the trek.
  • Carry warm clothing, thermals, windproof jackets, and trekking shoes with good grip — the weather can shift rapidly.
  • Charging points for phones and laptops may be limited or unavailable at campsites — plan accordingly with power banks.

Practical Pointers

  • Services missed due to late arrivals, personal issues, or any other reason will not be reimbursed.
  • Personal expenses like snacks, additional meals, souvenirs, and gear rentals are not included in the package.
  • Use of plastic bags is discouraged. Help preserve the fragile Himalayan ecosystem by carrying reusable containers and bags.
Inclusions
  • All vegetarian meals from Day 1 lunch to Day 5 breakfast
  • Morning & evening tea with snacks
  • Clean alpine tent accommodation on triple sharing
  • Transfers: Manali → Jobra & Chhatru → Manali/Chandratal
  • Trek permits & entry fees (for Indian nationals)
  • Certified trek leaders and local support staff
  • First-aid kit with oxygen cylinder and oximeter
  • Safe luggage storage at base camp

Hampta Pass trek with Trivikal Tours was a beautiful mix of adventure and natural beauty. The changing scenery, especially the sudden shift from green valleys to barren Lahaul, left us speechless. The support team carried everything responsibly, and the experience felt safe yet adventurous.

Our family of four did the Hampta Pass trek, and it was a mix of challenge and fun. The trek was moderate but manageable with the help of the guides. My teenage kids loved camping by the river. A small suggestion – maybe add more warm snacks in the evenings.

I was a bit nervous as a solo female trekker, but Trivikal’s team made me feel safe and comfortable throughout. The trek leaders were professional, and the group had a great vibe. Watching the sunrise from the mountains after a chilly night in the tent was magical.

I went with my college friends, and the Hampta Pass trek turned out to be an unforgettable adventure. The guides were encouraging, food was simple but tasty, and the campsites were breathtaking. The highlight for us was reaching Chandratal Lake after the trek – absolutely surreal.

My first ever trek and I couldn’t have chosen better. Trivikal Tours arranged everything so smoothly – from good quality tents to supportive trek leaders. The views kept changing from lush valleys to snowy landscapes, and crossing the pass was such a proud moment for me.

FAQ'S For Hampta Pass Trek – A High-Altitude Himalayan Crossover with Trivikal

The best time for the Hampta Pass Trek is from mid-June to September. During this period, the snow melts, the trails are lush and green, and the weather is perfect for trekking.
