Hampta Pass trek is a perfect Himalayan crossover trail for both beginners & seasoned trekkers. Although we did this trek in the month of August, but it is good to take Hampta Pass trek in September & October also. Some patches of the trail are bit steep but on the whole its a great trek to sharpen your hiking skills. Our trek leader Vijay was very cooperative & patient all through the trail. Camp staff served us some awesome meals. Overall it was a nice experience with TrailHikers trek team !

Hampta Pass trek is one of the very few treks that can be done during the monsoon months of July and August. The trek offers views of lush green valleys & snow summits. To our surprise, we experienced considerable snow at Hampta Pass top. We had a great time on the trek – thanks to team TrailHikers !
