Embark on HimTrek’s Premium Hampta Pass & Chandratal Lake Trek, a 5–6‑day Himalayan crossover that showcases the breathtaking diversity of Himachal Pradesh. Starting from lush Kullu Valley near Manali, the trek ascends through dense forests and alpine meadows, reaching the iconic Hampta Pass at ~4,270 m (14,039 ft). From here, you’ll appreciate stunning panoramas of Mt. Deo Tibba, Mt. Indrasan, and the contrasting Kullu–Lahaul landscapes.
Descending into the stark beauty of Lahaul, the journey continues via remote campsites such as Shea Goru and Chatru. The grand finale awaits at Chandratal—also known as Moon Lake—nestled at ~4,300 m. Its crescent turquoise waters, framed by rugged peaks, create a surreal camping experience.
Ideal for moderate-level trekkers with good fitness, the route covers approximately 25–30 km and involves glacier-fed river crossings—crafting both a scenic and challenging adventure . Best traveled between mid‑June and September, the trek rewards participants with wildflower blooms, snow patches near the pass, and days of clear mountain skies.
