Nestled at an elevation of 6,700 ft., Manali serves as the base camp for Hampta Pass trek.

Start your day early with a hearty breakfast as this day brings in an exciting part of the Hampta Pass trek and as you proceed towards Balu ka Gera, you will be startled by the views of Dhauladhar ranges and Indrasan peak. The trail is easy and is accompanied by the soothing environ and rhododendron trees. On your way, you will come across a waterfall which provides as a source to fill up your water bottles. Then, the gradient of the trail increases and you will also be thrilled when you have to cross the rivulet by actually getting into the water to reach Jwara, a picturesque valley. This counts as one of the best moments of this trek. The next part of the trail comes as you reach your campsite for the day i.e. Balu ka Gera. It is located at an elevation of 11,900 ft. and is surrounded by mountains. Rest overnight at the beautiful campsite.
Third day is when you will feel the maximum adrenaline rush as you will be crossing the Hampta Pass. So, make sure to have a nice filling breakfast at the campsite. The trail from Balu ka Gera starts by treading along the river side and you will witness beautiful flowers and mountain peaks. Hampta Pass perches up to an elevation of 14,100 ft. and the climb to the pass is a trickier one and requires a bit more efforts. As you reach the pass, the views will surely leave you amazed and you will also be bewildered as the enchanting Spiti valley unfolds before your eyes. Then starts the journey towards Sheagoru, situated at an elevation of 12,900 ft., and as it is a very steep descend, you will have to watch your steps as you tread forward. Further, you will cross a valley and then you will march forward to your way to the Sheagoru campsite which is also equally beautiful as it is also blessed with a river streaming alongside.
So, let go of the day’s fatigue by absorbing the serene vibes of the place and after having dinner, you can spend some time with your trek mates and then go to sleep.

Chatru is located at an altitude of 11,000 ft. and as you approach the place, the greenery of the locale starts to fade and you will begin to feel the rawness of Spiti valley. You will come across glaciers which you will have to cross in order to reach Chatru. The trail can be challenging at certain spots but it will surely be fun as a whole. You will also get to see the contrast that is presented by the ranges of Pir Panjal and Spiti.
Moreover, this day also has in store a drive to the famous Chandrataal, a picture-perfect lake whose name literally translates as ‘Moon-Lake’. It is a high-altitude glacial lake perched at an elevation of 13,940 ft. and is around 40 kms drive from Chatru. You can spend some time by the lake, soak-in all the beauty, and take some amazing pictures.
Then, return to Chatru campsite and make sure to camp alongside the river to add icing to the cake.
So, this is where the adventure comes to an end as on the last day of the trek, you will be taken back to Manali via Rohtang Pass and it will be a drive full of many pleasing sights later turning into beautiful memories. So, after having breakfast at the Chatru campsite, get ready for the experience that awaits you.
