This beloved trek follows a time-honored path, used by locals for centuries to journey from the verdant upper Kullu Valley to the high-altitude landscapes of Lahaul and Spiti. The Hamta Pass trek offers a captivating experience, showcasing lush valleys, imposing snow-covered mountains, and surreal rock formations. It’s an ideal choice for moderately fit trekkers seeking a deep connection with nature. The trail meanders through forests of walnut, spruce, oak, and alder, and across alpine meadows grazed by nomadic flocks. Reaching Hamta Pass (4270 meters) reveals a breathtaking panorama of peaks. The journey continues with a descent into the rugged Chandra Valley, where we’ll camp overnight at Shella Ghoru.
