    Are you in search of a trek filled with adventure? All set to go for India’s most sought-after high altitude trek?

    The Hampta Pass trek starts from Manali in Himachal Pradesh which gives you an opportunity to experience an adventure filled trek. The Hampta Pass is located at an elevation of  14,000 feet on the Pir Panjal range in the Himalayas. This pass separates two contrasting and beautiful valleys of Kullu and Spiti. The Kullu Valley is well known for its rivers, meadows, pine trees and the water streams flowing whereas the Spiti Valley is famous for the barren desert covered in snow for most of the year. So, as you go along the trail, you get to witness two contrasting landscapes in India’s adventure capital, Himachal Pradesh.
