Event Details
Hampta Pass is a 14,000-foot-high connection between two starkly different landscapes. On one side, you have the lush greenery of Kullu Valley—thick forests, open meadows, and wildflowers lining the trail. On the other side of Hampta Pass, you step into the barren, rugged beauty of Lahaul. The terrain is stark, the mountains bare, and the skies endlessly blue.
