Hampta Pass Crossover
Cross from the green valleys of Kullu into the stark desert of Lahaul, then finish beside Chandratal's turquoise waters.
Few treks offer a landscape change as dramatic as Hampta Pass. You begin in lush, flower-filled valleys above Manali and, after crossing the pass, descend into the barren, high-altitude desert of Spiti and Lahaul. A visit to Chandratal lake caps one of the best monsoon treks in India.
Highlights
- Dramatic shift from Kullu greenery to Lahaul desert
- Cross the 4,270 m Hampta Pass
- Visit Chandratal, the moon lake
- River crossings and wildflower meadows
