What is the difficulty level of the Hampta Pass trek?

Hamta Pass lies at an altitude of 4270 m on the Pir Panjal range in the Himalayas. It is a small corridor between Lahaul's Chandra Valley and Kullu valley of Himachal Pradesh, India. The nomenclature of the trek was derived from Hamta Village, located below Sethan village, as part of the trek route.

 

The Hampta Pass trek is considered to be a moderately difficult trek. It is so because the trekkers will have to make a climb from 6,725 ft above the mean sea level to height of 14,056 ft in a matter of 4 days. The terrain becomes much more difficult to walk on after Balu Ka Ghera as you reach closer to the final point, which is, Hampta Pass. We cross Hampta Pass to reach Shea Goru. It takes almost 9 hours of hard walk the Hampta Pass and reach the other side. Therefore trekkers need to be prepared beforehand for such things. This trek can be undertaken even by first timers if they have the required fitness. Trekkers need to be physically and mentally prepared before opting for the Hampta Pass trek because ultimately their fitness is going to be the key factor in deciding whether the trek is going to be easy or difficult for them.
