Day - 2
Balu Ghera to Hampta pass – Sia Goru
Stay: Overnight stay at the campsite.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner will be provided.
Trek Distance: The total trek distance is 7 km and is expected to take approximately 10 hours.
Altitude: The trek will cover three locations with varying altitudes – Balu ka Ghera (11,900 ft/3627 m), Hampta Pass (14,100 ft/4298 m), and Siagoru (12,900 ft/3932 m).
Altitude Gain: The altitude gain during the trek will be Balu ka Ghera to Hampta Pass (2200 ft/662 m) and Hampta Pass to Shea Goru(1200 ft/366 m).
Trek Grade: This trek is rated as moderate to difficult.
In today's Hampta Pass Trek, we'll cross the Hampta Pass and see the Indrasan Peak and its massive glacier, which is the most beautiful part of the trek. Because it is typically windy and cold here, the trekkers don't stay long. Scenes and calmness that you feel from the top can be found here. However, most trekkers prefer to spend their time at this campsite, which is their favourite because it is surrounded by greenery and offers a breathtaking view of Lahul's valley. And in the Lahul and Spiti Valleys, you can see the barren scenery of the Himalayas. Camp for the night. From the crest, you can take in breath-taking views. Then we'll go down to our camp site in Siagoru, which will take about 2 hours. However, you must be cautious as you descend because the path is slick and strewn with rocks and oil. As a result, when descending, this could be detrimental to your knee.

Sia Goru – Chatru – Chandra tal- Chatru
Stay: Overnight stay at the campsite.

Trek Distance: The total trek distance is 7 km and is expected to take approximately 10 hours.
Altitude: The trek will cover three locations with varying altitudes – Balu ka Ghera (11,900 ft / 3627 m), Hampta Pass (14,100 ft / 4298 m), and Siagoru (12,900 ft / 3932 m).

Trek Grade: This trek is rated as moderate to difficult.
We will begin our journey from Sia Goru to Chatru today. Through the Hampta Valley, we have a relatively easy descent. The inner Himalayan circle's Pir Panjal ranges appear ahead of you and dominate the entire landscape until you reach Chatru's camp site. Spiti Valley offers a breathtaking view of a high-altitude cold desert. Not only that, but you can also see wildflowers and small streams that run alongside the path, which are both beautiful. We might even argue that this is mostly a trekker's dream landscape. Today's walikg trails can take anywhere from 6 to 7 hours to complete. Chatru is a key junction on the routes to Rohtang Pass, Hamta Pass, and Spiti. From here, if the road and weather conditions permit, we will travel to Chandra Tal and camp at a suitable location based on the conditions. Cahndra Tal Lake is just as beautiful and impressive as the more well-known Pangong Lake. After relaxing and exploring the chandratal we will go back to Chatru and rest for the night there.
