What to expect — and how we keep you safe.
Honest forecasts at the summit, the protocols we follow on every batch, and how to acclimatise before you arrive.
SpO₂, BP and pulse logged every evening by a trained trek leader.
Portable oxygen cylinders, PAC bag and a full mountain-grade medical kit at every camp.
Walkie-talkies on route, satellite phone with the leader and a 24×7 control room in Rishikesh.
Every group is led by an AMC-certified, WAFA-trained trek leader with 50+ summits.
- 1Arrive a day early at the basecamp town — sleep low, walk slow.
- 2Drink 4–5 L of water daily; skip alcohol and smoking on the trail.
- 3Climb high, sleep low — we build deliberate rest days into every itinerary above 12,000 ft.
- 4Report headaches, nausea or unusual fatigue to your leader immediately. AMS is treatable when caught early.
AMS, HAPE and HACE are real risks above 10,000 ft. Our leaders carry oximeters and will turn anyone around whose SpO₂ falls below 80 — your safety beats any summit.
Before you book Hampta Pass.
Hampta Pass is rated Moderate. It tops out at 14,035 ft over 5 Days, starting from Jobra (Manali). First-timers can do it with 6–8 weeks of cardio prep — aim for 5 km in 30 min comfortably before you arrive.
The window is Jun – Sep. Outside of these months trails are either snowed-in, monsoon-washed, or impassable. We don't run batches outside the safe season — your safety comes before bookings.
All meals on the trek (veg + hot), forest permits, tented accommodation, sleeping bags & mats, certified trek leaders, high-altitude cook, porters for camp gear, oximeter checks, and a basic medical kit. Personal porters and rental gear are add-ons.
Cancel 30+ days before departure → 90% refund. 15–29 days → 70% refund. 8–14 days → 50% refund. Under 7 days → trek credit valid for 12 months. We never charge for cancellations caused by weather, landslides or natural events — we reschedule instead.
Most trekkers reach Jobra (Manali) from the basecamp town the previous evening. We share a shared cab pool 10 days before departure so you can split costs with fellow batch members. Detailed travel notes go out with your booking confirmation.
BSNL and Jio work at the basecamp town. Above the treeline expect no signal — we carry satellite communicators and emergency phones, and check in with our HQ twice daily.
