At 14,100 ft, Hampta Pass offers a dramatic crossover from the lush green Kullu Valley to the stark, barren landscape of Spiti. The view from the top is a breathtaking reward for your efforts.

A visit to the enchanting Chandratal Lake is like stepping into a dream. Its crescent shape and crystalclear waters set against the backdrop of barren mountains create an unforgettable visual.

From pine forests and alpine meadows to rocky terrains and snow patches, this trek offers a constantly shifting landscape that keeps you engaged every step of the way.

The trail is dotted with Himalayan wildflowers, birch, and deodar trees, and if you’re lucky, you might spot marmots, mountain goats, or even a Himalayan fox.

Chika, Balu Ka Ghera, and Shea Goru offer some of the most scenic and peaceful campsites, each surrounded by towering peaks, meadows, or riverside views.

The trek offers a striking contrast as you enter Spiti’s barren, high-altitude desert—an experience that feels worlds apart from the lush Kullu valley.

Begin your journey by reaching the picturesque town of Manali, nestled in the heart of
Himachal Pradesh. Whether you’re arriving via a direct bus from Chandigarh or Delhi, or choosing a private taxi, the scenic drive sets the mood for the adventure ahead. Enjoy a warm dinner and rest well in Manali to prepare for the exciting trek.

The day starts with a short and beautiful drive from Manali to Jobra, a trailhead surrounded by towering deodars and pine forests. From here, you begin your trek with a gentle 2-hour walk through dense green forests, gurgling streams, and vibrant flora, reaching the tranquil campsite of Chika by evening.

Today’s trail leads you deeper into the Himalayas with a moderate 9 km trek from Chika to Balu Ka Ghera. The route crosses the Rani Nallah and opens into lush alpine meadows. As the altitude increases, the surroundings become more dramatic, culminating at a stunning campsite nestled amidst boulders and wildflowers.

This is the most challenging yet rewarding day of the trek. Begin early to cross the
Hampta Pass at an elevation of 14,100 ft, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the Pir Panjal range. The steep ascent and descent require stamina and caution, but the thrill of the pass and the surreal landscape of Shea Goru make it unforgettable.

Start early for a trek to Chhatru, offering surreal views of the Lahaul and Spiti valleys. After reaching Chhatru, a jeep ride takes you to the legendary Chandratal Lake, believed to hold mythological significance. Depending on conditions, camp either at Chandratal (optional) or return to Chhatru for the night.

After breakfast, bid farewell to the majestic Himachal as you drive back to Manali.
The 65 km return journey takes you through rugged landscapes and riverside roads,
a fitting closure to your Himalayan adventure. Note: if Chandratal wasn’t accessible
earlier, the direct drive from Chatru ensures you reach Manali by late afternoon.
