The Hampta Pass Trek is a spectacular 5-day journey that takes you from the lush green Kullu Valley into the barren, moon-like landscape of Spiti — one of the most dramatic terrain transitions in the entire Himalayas. Crossing the pass at 14,100 ft is the emotional centrepiece of the trek, revealing an almost alien world on the other side. The adventure is capped by a visit to the sacred Chandratal Lake — the 'Moon Lake' — a brilliant crescent of turquoise water sitting at 14,100 ft amid the Spiti high desert. This trek perfectly balances moderate challenge with extraordinary reward, making it one of the best intermediate treks in Himachal Pradesh for trekkers looking to step up from beginner routes.
