Hampta Pass Trek starts at Manali (Kullu district, Himachal Pradesh), not in Pune — so the plan below adds the travel legs, the time they take, and what they cost. From Pune you can leave the evening before and reach Manali on the morning the trip starts. The quintessential Himalayan crossover trek, as benchmarked by top expedition leaders. Experience the world-famous "Valley of Contrasts"—trekking from the lush green pine forests and flower-carpeted meadows of Kullu Valley, scaling the dramatic 14,065 ft Hampta Pass with close vi.
