Hampta Pass with Chandertal: A Perfect Weekend Getaway

Escape the city chaos and experience the thrill of high-altitude adventure with Enlive Trips on the mesmerizing Hampta Pass with Chandertal trek. This Himalayan journey is not just a trek—it’s a story of breathtaking landscapes, thrilling crossings, and tranquil campsites nestled between the Kullu and Lahaul valleys. Perfect for nature lovers, photographers, and thrill-seekers, this trek offers a unique mix of lush green meadows, rugged mountains, and the surreal beauty of the Chandertal Lake—popularly known as the “Moon Lake.” It’s the ideal weekend getaway from Delhi for those craving an escape into the wild.

Starting from the picturesque town of Manali, the Hampta Pass trek unfolds like a living painting. With every step, you move from thick pine forests and blooming wildflowers to rocky terrains and snowy passes. The journey typically begins from Jobra and passes through scenic campsites like Chika, Balu ka Ghera, and Shea Goru, finally leading to the dazzling Chandertal Lake in Spiti Valley. Standing at around 14,000 feet, the pass offers panoramic views of towering peaks and valleys that stretch endlessly into the horizon.

What makes this route truly special is its diversity. On one side lies the lush green valley of Kullu, while on the other side, the barren and stark beauty of Spiti awaits. Few treks in India offer such contrasting beauty within such a short span of time. This balance of greenery and desert-like terrain makes Hampta Pass an unforgettable experience for trekkers of all levels.

After crossing the high mountain pass, you’ll be rewarded with the sight of Chandertal Lake—a shimmering blue gem nestled among snow-clad peaks. The lake changes color with the shifting sunlight, creating a magical reflection that leaves every visitor spellbound. Camping near Chandertal under a star-filled sky is one of the most memorable moments of the entire trek.
