Hampta Pass

ABOUT THE PLACE

5 Nights/ 6 Days

Hamta Pass sits at an altitude of 14,270ft on the Pir Panjal range in the Himalayas. It is a small corridor between Lahaul’s Chandra Valley and the Kullu valley of Himachal Pradesh. It is known as Himachal’s Valley of Flowers. The landscape is strikingly like that of Valley of Flowers – a green narrow valley protected by snow-covered mountains   but there’s a bonus here.

When you get onto the other side of the Hampta Pass, you’ll be in awe looking at the stark contrast from what you just left behind. The landscape that stretches in front of you is Spiti Valley, known for its barren stretches, rugged terrain and forget-me-not blue skies.

Tso Chigma or Chandra Taal (meaning the Lake of the Moon), or Chandra Tal is a lake in the Lahaul part of the Lahaul and Spiti district of Himachal Pradesh. Situated at an altitude of 4300 meters, Chandratal offers the most splendid views of the Spiti region.
