Why take this tour?

This is one amazing trip that covers Hampta Pass trek, camping at Lake Chandratal, visit to the top of the Kunzum La at 4590 meters, the famed Spiti off-road trip with stunning landscapes, the best of Manali and truly amazing photography opportunities. Kullu and Lahaul are two adjoining districts and are separated by the formidable Hampta pass. The Kullu/Manali valleys are green with thick forest cover and heavy rains. However, Lahaul is in a rain-shadow area with partial Trans-Himalayan barrenness. The trail to Chandratal over Hampta Pass combines both these areas gives a wonderful walk with two completely different terrains to enjoy. Besides the truly remote and offbeat, we also explore the popular and must visit locations in and around Manali. Visit the ancient Hidimba and Manu temple, shop for souvenirs in Old Manali. Naggar castle and Roerich art gallery are also on agenda. Those seeking some thrills can indulge in zip-lining and paragliding.
