HAMTA PASS TREK ITINERARY
16th June to 27th June, 2015.
Best Season: Mid June to November
Region: Kullu Manali / Lahaul & Spiti Valley
Dear all,
Intermount Adventure proudly announces Hamta Pass Trekking Expedition (with Manali site seeing)…. Rarely do the Himalayas present a trek for first timers that pack in everything – easy access, dark pine forests, open meadows, glacial valleys and an adventurous crossing of a pass that leaves the heart pumping. The Hampta Pass trek in Himachal is tailor made for those looking to experience high Himalayan adventure.
This trek leads us over the Hamta Pass (4268m), the eastern most pass on the Pir Panjal range, which divides the green Kullu Valley from the remote Lahaul valley.
This trek is the shortest line between the Chandra and Beas rivers and was a popular route before the road over the Rohtang pass was built. It was the trade route from China via Spiti to the Kullu valley and other parts of the country.
During this trek we can have spectacular views of the Deo Tibba and the Indrasan peaks, which are both over 6000m.
This trek is possible in Monsoon, when the wild flowers are in bloom and can be best appreciated.
