The Hampta Pass Experience Our Bollywood Moment in the Himalayas

As part of our Kasol Unplugged trip, we ventured into one of Himachal’s most breathtaking yet underrated trails — the Hampta Pass Trek. Tucked between the lush green valleys of Kullu and the stark, dramatic landscapes of Lahaul, Hampta Pass offered us an adventure that was as serene as it was unforgettable.

Unlike the often-crowded trails of Solang Valley, Hampta Pass felt like a secret gateway to the Himalayas — quiet, untouched, and incredibly scenic. From gentle meadows carpeted in wildflowers to the thrilling river crossings and snow-kissed peaks, every step was a reminder of how raw and majestic nature can be when left unspoiled.

But what made our trek truly unplugged were the moments that made us, quite literally, stop and stare. Picture this — a spontaneous bike ride through misty mountain roads, the wind in our hair, laughter echoing against the valley walls. And then, in true Wanderlustt fashion, we took it up a notch — trekking in sarees, living our full-on Bollywood-in-the-mountains moment! From twirling on rocky paths to capturing frames that looked straight out of a movie, it was an experience that combined adventure with the joy of pure expression.

The Hampta Pass Trek isn’t just about the climb; it’s about perspective. It bridges two worlds — the lush green of Manali and the barren beauty of Spiti — making it one of India’s most diverse and visually stunning short treks.

At Wanderlustt, we believe in curating experiences that go beyond sightseeing — we create memories that blend thrill, culture, and a touch of cinematic magic. Hampta Pass was exactly that — a journey that reminded us that the best adventures are the ones that surprise you, move you, and make you feel alive.
