Hampta Pass Trek: An Experience We'll Never Forget | Himalayan Trek with

This is the story of Hampta Pass Trek (14100ft). About how Akshay, after two failed attempts to complete a Himalayan Trek, managed to successfully mount the third time around. The fitness woes, the difficult terrain, shooting and trekking at the same time, everything pointed towards another failed attempt, but he showed that sometimes you just have to want it enough to make it happen! And then the Chandrataal Lake is just like a cheery on the top, absolute beauty!!
And a huge huge shoutout to ‪@Tripsaa_‬ for making sure that Akshay is able to see the other side of the trek. Tripsaa is one of the few organizations out there who are providing such a relaxed and fulfilling experience on a trek. From food to accommodation to on-trek experience they have made this trek a memorable one for all of us!

I wanted to ask that was there any risk of life at any point on this trek?

No, there isn't any inherent risk to life as long as you go with an organiser, in the right seasons and do not do anything over the top adventurous.

Yes, you can trek Hampta Pass without a guide. But we won't recommend that as a lot can go wrong on these treks and especially during the monsoons.

[@XploreTheEarth]

Haha, that's a very valid question. We had about 5 power banks between the two of us with an average of 15000 Mah. So, it was a lot of extra weight that way to make sure that all our gadgets stay charged. 🙃 And thank you so much! Glad you liked the vlog! 😀

[@rupamanhar1717]

Hey bro we want to go their your video is so helpful for us but i have some questions........... which month is best for trecking here Which agency is best And how much cost of this treking including food

[@XploreTheEarth]

Post monsoons is a good time to do the trek. We did it with Tripsaa and loved them. Other organisations that you can try are India Hikes, Bikat Adventures or Trek The Himalayas. Cost varies depending on the season and the company. Feel free to compare the same through their respective websites.

[@samritijain5417]

Post monsoon means September? But this trek opens till 15 September Pls specify

[@chaladap.7280]

Hi, I just want to know how they do when they want to use the toilet because the area so clear. I have plan to go there.

[@XploreTheEarth]

Hey, so almost all these organisations carry what they call toilet tents. They dig a pit, provide a seat and cover the entire thing with a tent. And then afterward the pit is filled back. This is the best these organisations can do, so as to minimise disturbing nature and provide comfort to the trekkers. Hope this helps. 😀

[@aniBunny12378]

Hey man how you manage to charge so much things... Like I don't think so you'll be carrying 8-10 powerbanks with you!¡! Is there any charging spot or solar thingy? Amazing content man... Hats off! I would like to see any making videos of videos soon!

[@aniBunny12378]

Recommendations of channels would be great too... Like you would have learned it from somewhere as well... Right? Please help... Thank you

[@XploreTheEarth]

Hey glad you liked the video. Yes, we were carrying about 4-5 power banks. 2 of which were 20000mAh. That isn't necessarily something that we have thought of. But that's a good idea. Maybe in the future, we can do a making video as well. 😀

Sir! We would love to say yes for that. Unfortunately we are not the best judge to give you an accurate answer 😅 The trek is challenging in some parts. If this is one your first experiences in trekking at this age, then we would suggest to go for a shorter and easier trails like Dayara Bugyal. If you are experienced trekker above 60 and have no problems before, then you can consider Hampta Pass. ✅
