About This Adventure
Cross from the lush Kullu Valley to the stark Lahaul desert in one dramatic trek. Hampta Pass (14,100ft) offers a genuine Himalayan crossing with glaciers, river crossings, and a landscape transformation that feels like science fiction.
This is a proper trek, not a hike. You'll be walking 5-7 hours daily with heavy climbs. Weather can turn quickly—rain, sleet, and snow are possible even in summer. Fitness matters here.
