Chika to Balu Ka Ghera
Hampta Pass Trek which begins at Chika and culminates at Balu Ka Ghera – showing abundance (rather a pile) of sand. Further into the valley, the trail gets a bit more spicy.
You will stroll through green meadows, ford little streams and gaze at waterfalls plummeting from tall cliffs. The valley spreads out and the mountains begin to look bigger and closer. Snow is visible at the top peaks, which adds to its appeal.
Balu Ka Ghera is encircled by rocky mountains and it is a pretty campsite. This campsite is significant because this is the point for crossing Hampta Pass on next day. The nights can be cold, but TrekYaari has the right gear and hot meals to keep you snug. Your trek leaders also brief you about the next day’s pass crossing.

You've got to keep in mind, of course, that more and more the green valley gives way to a craggy snowy world. It’s an achievement to get up on Hampta Pass. Down below you see the green Kullu Valley on one side and the dry, raw Lahaul Valley on the other. The contrast is truly magical.
