About Hampta Pass Trekking

The Hampta Pass Trek stands out as one of the most thrilling crossover treks in Himachal Pradesh. This 5-day journey begins in the lush green valleys of Manali and transitions into the stark, dramatic landscapes of Spiti. Along the way, you’ll navigate river crossings, walk through alpine meadows, pass glaciers, and conquer a high-altitude pass at 14,000 feet.

Operated in collaboration with a network of trusted local experts, Thrillophilia ensures an authentic experience. Knowledgeable trek leaders accompany you every step of the way, often guiding you to lesser-known spots for the best panoramic views.

The trek kicks off in the quiet village of Jobra, leading you to your first campsite at Chika. From there, you ascend to Balu ka Ghera, a scenic campsite nestled among alpine meadows and towering peaks. The trail then becomes more rugged as you climb towards Hampta Pass, offering a spectacular 14,000-foot vantage point over the surrounding Himalayas.

From the remote landscapes of Hampta, begin your descent to Chhatru — a key highlight of the trek. Here, you’ll be treated to sweeping views of the Spiti Valley, Rohtang Pass, and Hampta Pass. Chhatru serves as a meeting point of routes leading into these iconic regions.
