ITINERARY:
Day 01: Rumsu Base Camp to Naggar and Back
First day is reserved for meet and greet, and orientation, followed by an acclimatization walk from the Rumsu Base Camp to Naggar and then back to the base camp. Naggar is a small but extremely beautiful town in the Kullu District. It has great cultural and historical relevance, as it houses many architectural masterpieces like the Naggar Castle, 11th century old Shiva Temple, Roerich Art Gallery and Tripura Sundari Temple.
The walk to Naggar and back will prepare you for the trekking days ahead. After you return to the base camp, the trek leader will take a small orientation session, covering information like packing, walking techniques. You will also be given general information about the trek and the route. Stay overnight at the base camp.
Day 02: Drive to Hampta Dam and Trek to Chikka
On the second day we leave the base camp by 8 AM. We will be carrying lunch and breakfast with us. The first leg of the day’s travel would include a jeep drive from Rumsu Base Camp to Hampta Dam. The way that leads to Hampta Dam is lined with Maple, Pine, Walnut and Oak trees, making it refreshing and enjoyable.
After reaching Hampta we prepare to trek to Chikka, which is also our final destination for the day. It will take approximately 2 hours to reach this place, and it is also an easy stretch, crossing two wooden bridges and a small patch of forest. We reach the campsite at Chikka and prepare for our stay overnight.
Day 03: Chikka to Balu ka Ghera
Today we will trek from Chikka to Balu ka Ghera, which will take about 4 -5 hours to complete. Balu ka Ghera is situated at 11900 feet approximately. The initial stretch for the day would take you through rocky banks of the river. Soon snow valleys would come in view making the trekking experience more exciting. You will pass streams and boulders, and finally get to Balu ka Ghera, which is a large, lush ground on the banks of the river. Camping here will be like a dream come true! Your overnight stay will be at the camps at Balu ka Ghera.
Day 04: Balu ka Ghera Hampta Pass and further to Shia Ghoru
On day 4 of the Hampta Pass Trek with Chandratal, we would aim at leaving the campsite by 7 AM as the trek ahead is long and somewhat tedious. We will go from Balu ka Ghera to Shia Ghoru, which is at 12900 feet. It will take approximately 4-5 hours to reach Hampta Pass top (14000 feet), and from there another couple of hours to descend to Shia Ghoru. This would be a steep descend and post reaching Shia Ghoru, prepare for overnight stay at the camp.
Day 05: Shia Ghoru to Chandratal and back to Chatru
On this day we will head towards Chatru and this is the place that will offer us the most breathtaking and unforgettable views of the valleys of Lahaul and Spiti. The Spiti and Pir Panjal Ranges will add to the grandeur and magic of the place. Chatru is the center point for three locations namely Hampta Pass, Rohtang Pass and Spiti Valley.
This stretch of the trek would then be followed by a jeep ride to Chandratal, which is believed to be the place from where Yudhisthira, the eldest Pandava, ascended to heavens. We will return to Chatru and spend the night at the camps there.
Day 06: Jeep Ride from Chatru to Base Camp (Departure after 4 PM from base camp)
Last day of this adventurous trip would begin early as we will be covering a lot today. We will aim at leaving Chatru by 7 AM after having breakfast. Our first stop would be Manali, which we will reach by lunch time, after crossing the stunning Rohtang Pass. After having lunch at Manali, we will then leave for Rumsu Base Camp and depart from there for our respective destinations.
