We got up early and started loading our Tata sumo vehicle to embark journey to Hampta.

We carried raw food items , our own gas cylinders and oven for cooking, alpine tents, sleeping bags.

There was 1 cook, 1 helper to assist the cook, 1 horseman with 5 horses to carry heavy equipements and tents.

We had a group of 6 IIT Delhi students who undertook this adventure trek.

We checked out from hotel and then drove to Jobri via Allain Duhangan Power Project road which takes around 1 hour to reach the starting point of the trek Jobri. There is a small shop where you can have quick refreshment after quick briefing session and round of introduction we started our trek towards Chikka our first campsite on Hampta Pass Circular Trek. 

Chhika is a beautiful campsite beside the Rani River in the open Valley with great views. Overnight camp at Chhika.

The nights are usually cold for most times of the year and it is advised to all to carry extra layer or blankets. Do not forget to carry rain coats/umbrella. Rains in mountains are usually unsolicited and may fall anytime.

After morning exercise and breakfast we trek from Chikka Camping to Balu Ka Gera. After 3 hours of gradual ascent you reach Juara Nala which is fun part of Hampta Pass trek where you experience the thrill of river crossing. Indrasan Peak can be sighted from here

After trekking for around an hour you reach upper Balu ka gera from where the ascent to Hampta Pass Summit starts. Depending upon the snow condition you might have to wear your crampons. This entire route of Hampta Pass trek in June will be covered under snow and you have to be very careful while trekking in snow. The loose rocks in mountains pose a great threat and they may fall even in boroad daylight. Be extra cautious and keep a vigil on surroundings.

It will take around 4 to 5 hours to reach Hampta Pass Summit after spending some time we return back to our camp as weather can turn bad anytime at those altitudes.

 On the third and last day, we had light breakfast and we started downhill trek along the same Hampta Pass Circular trek river crossing at Juara Nala then Chhika and finally our trek starting and ending Point at Jobri where our vehicles will be waiting for us to drive back to Manali. 

Our Hampta Pass Circular Trek comes to an end with beautiful mosaic of memories.
