Hampta Pass Trek is simple and comfortable for a rookie. This walking route connects the lovely valleys of Kullu to Lahaul and offers spectacular landscape variations from the lush green meadows of the crater valleys to the semi-arid zones. Throughout your tour, these shifting landscapes will certainly marvel at the beautiful beauty of nature.
The walk begins from Jobra near Manali and ends in Chatru in the Valley of Lahaul. The amazing crescent-shaped Chandratal Lake can be driven up from Chatru. This is a beautiful location for portraits and a quiet view of the unspoiled blue waters of a lake surrounded by the majestic Spiti mountains.
2. Tarsar Marsar
Imagine endless stretches of snow-capped mountains, quiet pasturelands and woods, and a splendidly blue lake between them. TWICE, on the Tarsar Marsar Trek, this is the view to you as you camp along the banks of two picturesque lakes. This quick walk will take you to the Tarsar Marsar lakes of Aru, Kashmir, in the form of almonds. Although the aquatic lakes are a highlight, the path winds through meadows of alpine flora and lush woods equally awe-inspiring.
3. Har Ki Dun Trek
Har Ki Dun Trek is an excellent introduction for first-time trekking in the Himalayas. This valley is considered one of the most beautiful valleys in the Himalayans of Garhwal.

You will pass ancient, isolated villages, which give a beautiful view of the Pahari (Himalayan) life during this walk. Rolling through thick pine woods, watch out for the unique and sacred Brahma Kamal flora.
4. Sandakphu Trek
Sandakphu is the highest point in West Bengal on the border between India and Nepal. This walk will be made up of flowering rhododendrons, giant magnolia, and wild orchids through forests. But the most important reason for the walkers is to see the ethereal views of a single 180 degrees stretch of some of the tallest of the world mountains that make up Kanchenjunga, Makalu, Everest, Lhotse, Janu, Chamlang, and Baruntse, the famous ‘Sleeping buddha.’ Celebrate citizens with your eyes, you see!
