The Hampta Pass trek

"Rarely do the Himalayas present a trek for beginners that pack in everything – easy access, dark pine forests, open meadows, glacial valleys and an adventurous crossing of a pass that leaves the heart pumping. The Hampta Pass trek in Himachal is tailor made for beginners looking to experience high Himalayan adventure.

It is a trek that comes built in with bonuses for the beginner. And there are many. The first would be its easy access – you start the trek from Manali town – unlike most treks that start from a remote village. Two, you can add on an exciting day long trip to Chandratal a high altitude alpine lake – its deep blue colour is a rarity. Add to this the return jeep ride over the Rothang pass and it is almost like experiencing two treks at one go."

Hampta Pass Trek Diary

Diary Extract – the Hampta Pass Exploratory Trek
(Diary of Arjun Majumdar, Team leader)

Day 1, May 11, 2010.

Manali to Chikha. 19 kms by road. 4 kms by walk.

We are met at the Manali bus stand by Rakesh, Polu and Shyam. I am meeting Rakesh for the first time, our future trek leader.

I like his natural youthful looks. He’ll make a good trek leader, I think to myself. Our guide surprises me too. Gone is the shy hill man who had met me in Delhi. Here was a rugged strapping young man with stubble. He looked handsome! Read the full story
