Hampta Pass Trek

Morning & Early Afternoon

The group will assemble at the designated pick-up point (likely Manali Mall Road) by 11:00 AM. Subsequently, we drive toward Jobra. Jobra serves as the official base camp for the Hampta Pass trek. Before starting the trek, you should feel free to relax for a while after the drive. Then, we begin our short trek toward Chika.

Late Afternoon & Evening

The trail is short; consequently, we reach Chika quickly. Later in the evening, the team serves dinner. You stay overnight here in the camps.

Pro Tip

If you arrive in Manali a day early, your body will adapt better to the altitude and weather conditions. Ultimately, this makes the first day much easier!

Afternoon: Crossing the Pass & Descent

We enjoy the magnificent view at the top of Hampta Pass. Immediately after this exhilarating view, we begin our descent. Be careful: the downhill trail consists of slippery soil and loose stones.
