The group will assemble at the pick-up point by 10:00 AM where a briefing session by the trek leader sharing all the necessary details about the trek would be provided. After which, we'll head towards Jobra which is the base camp for the Hampta Pass trek and is located at an altitude of 9,379 ft. The drive from Manali though has many hairpins bends in the road making up for a scenic drive due to the panoramic view of Kullu Valley that you get to glimpse. Traversing through thick forests consisting of pine, maple, and silver birch trees, we will reach Jobra. After relaxing for a while, we'll start our trek toward Chika. The sight that you get to witness while trekking is serene and refreshing. From lush green forests consisting of maple, oak, and deodar trees, the landscape that the trekking trail provides is breathtaking, to say the least. We will set up camp in Chika. With its vast tapestry of greenery and open skies above, it is perfect for spending peaceful moments. Dinner will be served in the evening followed by an overnight stay in Chika. Note - If you arrive in Manali, one day before, it would help your body adapt better to the altitude and weather.

After early morning breakfast, we will head towards Balu Ka Ghera. Balu translates to sand and the trail lives up to the name as the short meadow walk soon gives way to boulders and loose rocks making this part of the trek fall into the moderate category. The beauty of this trek is that you get to witness the magic of nature in the form of beautiful landscapes. On one hand, you get the flowing Jwara river seemingly following your footsteps, while the mighty Dhauladhar ranges beckon you closer. A stream of a waterfall would be waiting amidst the green canopies. The terrain starts to flatten as you reach the initial region of Balu ka Ghera which is known as Chota Balu ka Ghera. As you keep walking, the terrain will start to get rugged again with the rocks being far apart making it tricky to traverse. We will reach Balu Ka Ghera soon where we will set camp among the mountains beyond which the Hampta pass awaits us. In the evening, we will have dinner and spend a night under the starry skies.

After breakfast, we will head towards our next campsite which is Sia Goru. The entire trail is made up of boulders and hence the descent is trickier which is why we need to be careful. En route, we will be traversing through Hampta Pass which is a beautiful trail with a river flowing through it. Blooming flowers of different colors and rainbow are perched at the bank making it a sight to behold. You will also get to see the Deo Tibba peak beckoning you closer. After enjoying the view at Hampta Pass, we will start our descent. The downhill trail consists of slippery soil and loose stones. A trail with twists and turns will lead you to the valley below and after walking for a while, you will finally reach the base. The opening that reveals itself leads you to Sia Goru where we will set camp for the night and spend the rest of the day at leisure. Dinner will be served in the evening followed by an overnight stay in Sia Goru.

After early morning breakfast we will start our downhill trek towards Chatru. The vast land lacks vegetation but the tricky slopes give you the adrenaline rush that you might be craving. The descent is tricky so you might have to stay extra vigilant. Once we reach Chatru, we'll drive towards Chandratal which is a beautiful lake located 45 kilometers away from the campsite. However, the drive would only be possible if the weather permits as the harsh weather conditions could be a hindrance. After relishing in the beauty of nature and a short sightseeing tour, we'll head back to Chatru where we will set up base camp. Dinner will be served in the evening followed by an overnight stay in Chatru.

After early morning tea and breakfast, we will start our return j ourney and drive from Chatru to Manali. The scenic drive consists of mesmerizing views of majestic mountains with the Chandra river flowing by. You also get to traverse through the Iconic Atal Tunnel which itself makes the drive extremely rewarding. Upon reaching Manali, the group will dissemble and part ways with fond memories.
