Hampta Pass Trek
Package from Manali

The published programme is five days and four nights, starting and ending in Manali. The walking route runs from Jobra through Chika, Balu Ka Ghera and Shea Goru to Chatru, followed by the return drive. Travel to Manali and extra hotel nights should be planned separately.

The existing itinerary lists Chandratal as an optional road excursion from Chatru on Day 4. It depends on road access, weather and available time. Ask whether the vehicle and visit are included in your quoted price; the lake visit is not guaranteed. The scheduled fourth night is at Chatru.

The itinerary lists the pass at approximately 14,100 feet, or about 4,300 metres. Altitude figures vary slightly between maps and route descriptions. This is a high-altitude trek, so prepare for the ascent and discuss the acclimatisation plan with the team.

The page grades the trek as moderate, but the pass-crossing day is demanding. Expect steep climbs, a long descent, uneven ground and possible snow or stream crossings. A well-prepared first-time trekker can enquire; suitability depends on fitness, conditions and the team’s assessment.

The usual planning window is mid-June to September. Snow can affect early-season access; rain and road disruption can affect summer trips; late-season nights can be cold. Departures depend on current conditions and local access, so confirm your dates before booking transport.

The original programme gives an approximate total walking distance of 35 kilometres. Campsite positions, diversions and track conditions can change that figure. It excludes the road journeys to Jobra, any Chandratal excursion and the return to Manali.

The price is on request. The quote depends on dates, group size, transport, equipment, meal coverage and any optional Chandratal visit. The standard page lists a minimum of two participants; no fixed discount or guaranteed daily departure is advertised.

The itinerary lists four tent nights at Chika, Balu Ka Ghera, Shea Goru and Chatru. Day 1 lists packed lunch and dinner; Days 2–4 list meals at camp; Day 5 lists breakfast. Confirm tent sharing, sleeping equipment and the detailed meal plan in your written quote.

Arrange your journey to Manali before the agreed meeting time. Delhi and Chandigarh are common road connections. Bhuntar is the regional airport, with onward road travel to Manali. Confirm current transport schedules and allow a buffer; travel to Manali is not automatically part of the trek quote.

Bring broken-in trekking shoes, warm layers, waterproof outerwear, spare socks, sun protection, a head torch, water bottles and a rain-protected backpack. Ask which tents, sleeping bags, mats and other shared equipment the operator provides before buying or packing camping gear.

Yes, you can ask about joining an available group or arranging a private departure. The published minimum is two participants. Group availability, single-person arrangements and any extra charges need confirmation; submitting an enquiry does not reserve a departure.

Send your preferred dates, group size, trekking experience and whether you want the optional Chandratal visit. Review the final route, transport, equipment, meals, permits, price and cancellation terms before paying. The team will confirm availability and the booking arrangements.
