Hampta Pass Trek
Hampta Pass Trek Bharat ke sabse lokpriya aur khubsurat "crossover" treks mein se ek hai. Himachal Pradesh mein sthit, ye trek aapko Kullu Valley ki haryali se seedha Lahaul Valley ke registani pahado (Cold Desert) mein le jata hai. Is trek ki sabse badi khasiyat iska badalta hua landscape hai—ek taraf ghane devdar ke jungle aur hari-bhari ghaas ke maidan (meadows) hain, to dusri taraf barf se dhake pahad aur pathrila registan. 14,100 feet ki unchai par sthit Hampta Pass, adventure aur kudrati sundarta ka ek anokha sangam hai. Ye trek Manali se shuru hota hai aur 5-6 dino mein khatam hota hai. Is safar mein aapko Jobra ki haryali, Jwara ke phoolon wale maidan, aur Balu Ka Ghera ki retili zameen dekhne ko milti hai. Pass cross karte hi jab aap Lahaul mein kadam rakhte hain, to nazara puri tarah badal jata hai. Ant mein, neele rang ki Chandratal Lake (Moon Lake) ka darshan is pure trek ko ek sapne jaisa bana deta hai.

Weather and Best Time
