Overview
The Hamta Pass Trek is probably one of the most beautiful treks in this area! It offers everything: beautiful campsites with great views, river crossings, a pass (4270 m), views of the 6000 m high mountains Deo Tibba and Indrasan and the chance to spot wild animals such as vultures, snow leopards and bears.
The most impressive thing about this moderate trek is probably the Hamta Pass itself, the easternmost pass leads over the Pir Panjal chain, which separates the green Kullu valley from the dry high mountain desert of Lahaul and Spiti. The Trek is the shortest line between the Beas and Chandra rivers and served as a trade route from China to India for a long time before the road over the Rothang Pass was completed.
This trek is also possible during the monsoon season, when all flowers are in their prime. At the last day we have a 5 hours transfer back to Manali
