Hampta Pass Trek: A Stunning Crossover from Manali to Spiti

Linking the lush green Kullu Valley with the stark, arid Lahaul, the Hampta Pass Trek is an amazing crossover trip. The landscape changes into large meadows and glacier-covered paths as you ascend from Jobra and negotiate forests of pine and maple. Perched at almost 14,000 feet, the pass serves as a natural portal between two quite different worlds. It gives hikers a rare opportunity to see two quite distinct Himalayan environments on one trip.
