HAMPTA PASS - Karnataka Mountaineering Association
CELEBRATING GOLDEN JUBILEE YEAR - 2015 - 2016 THE KARNATAKA MOUNTAINEERING ASSOCIATION (R) HIGH ALTITUDE TREKKING EXPEDITION HAMPTA PASS NEAR MANALI - HIMACHAL PRADESH 16 MAY TO 26 MAY 2015 ! ABOUT THE TREK ! Buoyed by the success of the trek to Hampta Pass on three earlier occasions and purred by the tremendous response it generated on all three occasions, the association has once again planned to launch an expedition to Hampta Pass. The Pass is at an altitude of 4,270 Mts. in the Pir Panjal range of Himachal Himalayas. This is one of the most sought after trekking destinations due to its scenic surroundings. The trek winds through lush green valleys, log bridges, cute little mountain settlements, alpine meadows, dazzling landscape, enchanting mountain streams, forested hillsides, grassy knolls and snow capped mountains. MAN BECOMES MORE CIVILIZED WHEN AWAY FROM CIVILIZATION… ONLY THOSE WHO WILL RISK GOING TOO FAR CAN POSSIBLY FIND OUT HOW FAR ONE CAN GO… Leaving Manali, the trek winds through evergreen cool forests of cedar, silver fur, walnut, oak and pine forests. Setan, Karimindiyari, Chikka, Juara, Jhobri Bihaii are the campsites enroute. The entire Kullu valley can be viewed on this trail. Once atop the Hampta pass another spectacular panorama of peaks of the Lahaul valley appears. The route has been carefully chosen, keeping in mind the first timer as well as the experienced – without compromising on the challenge and scope the route offers to indulge in basic outdoor adventure activities during leisure time. ! The group strength is restricted to 30 and registration would be on first come first basis. So, why wait, enrol, participate and explore the beauty and the mystery of the Himalayas – while taking a break from the hustle and bustle of city life.
