Overview
Itinerary
Arrival & Acclimatization in Manali
Arrive at Manali (by road/train to nearest station) and check in to your hotel. Afternoon orientation and trek briefing with the guide. Light local sightseeing to help with acclimatization — visit Mall Road, Hadimba Temple (time permitting) and gear-check. Early rest to prepare for the trek start the next morning. Tip: Carry only essential daypack items to the campsite; main luggage will be transported separately.
Drive to Jobra & Trek to Balu Ka Ghera (Camp)
After breakfast, drive from Manali to the trek start at Jobra (approx. 1–1.5 hrs depending on road conditions). Begin the trek through pine forests and open meadows, crossing small streams and shepherd settlements en route. Reach Balu Ka Ghera, set up camp and enjoy an evening by the campsite with panoramic valley views. Walking duration: 4–5 hours; moderate difficulty.
Trek to Chikka Meadow — Explore Alpine Scenery
Begin early and trek across expansive meadows and rocky trails. Today's route opens up into wide alpine pastures with sweeping views of snow-capped peaks. Arrive at Chikka Meadow (or equivalent high meadow campsite), set up camp and spend the afternoon exploring nearby ridgelines or resting at camp. Altitude will increase gradually — keep hydrated and pace yourself.
Summit Hampta Pass & Descend to the Other Side
Early pre-dawn start for the crossing of Hampta Pass — the highlight of the trek. Traverse the pass saddle (approx. 4,100–4,300 m), soak in 360° vistas and witness the dramatic transition from verdant Kullu landscapes to the rugged Lahaul-Valley terrain. Descend towards the descent camp (near the Chatru/Marhi area) where the team will set up camp. This is the most strenuous day — expect 6–8 hours with steep sections.
Trek/Drive Return to Manali
After breakfast, complete the short descent/trek to the road head. Board vehicles for a scenic drive back to Manali. Afternoon at leisure in town — optional visits to local cafes or a relaxing walk. Evening group dinner and camp debrief. Rest and stretch well after the trek.
Departure from Manali
Post-breakfast checkout and transfer to the drop-off point (bus stand/airport/train station). End of the Hampta Pass Trek Introduction 5 Nights: Adventure & Camping package. Carry home memories, photos, and new friends — consider joining repeat-season trips for other Himachal Adventure packages.

Recent Himachal Reviews
Himachal Hotels Were the Real Pleasant Surprise
We were a couple doing Himachal for the first time and honestly had zero clue about which properties are worth it and which ones just look good in photos. TourGrids sorted all of that before we even had to ask. Every hotel they picked — from Shimla to Manali — was clean, well-located, and proper good in terms of comfort. Nothing felt like a compromise. The cab arrangements were just as solid. Drivers were on time, vehicles were decent, and no last-minute confusion about pickups or drops. Our coordinator was reachable throughout on WhatsApp and always gave straight answers. No hidden charges at the end either, which honestly mattered a lot.
Himachal Package Worth Every Rupee We Paid
Honestly, I was skeptical about paying upfront without meeting anyone in person, but TourGrids gave me zero reason to regret it. Me and my wife did a 6-night Himachal trip — Shimla, Kullu, Manali — and everything was pre-arranged. Hotels were proper good, both centrally located. Cab driver was punctual and knew the routes well. Breakfast was included at every property, which we didn't fully appreciate until we saw what others were spending on food. I'd done my own research before calling them, and their package came out cheaper with more inclusions. No hidden charges, no last-minute surprises. The coordinator stayed reachable throughout. Solid experience from start to finish.
First Trip Booked Blind, Nothing Went Wrong
I had never trusted a travel company with a full trip before — always booked everything myself. But for our Himachal trip, my wife and I decided to just hand it over and see. Honestly, the experience was better than I expected. Before booking, I had multiple calls with the team and they answered every question without any sales pressure. The itinerary felt like it was actually built for us, not copy-pasted. Hotels were proper good, cabs showed up on time, and there were no hidden charges when we settled the final amount. Our coordinator was reachable throughout — even on the day we got stuck near Rohtang. That kind of availability is what actually builds trust.
Himachal Ran Smoothly Because Rohit Never Disappeared
We were a couple of days into Himachal when our cab driver called in sick and I had no idea what to do. One WhatsApp message to Rohit — our assigned coordinator — and he had a replacement cab confirmed within the hour. No drama, no waiting. Honestly, that one moment told me everything about how TourGrids works. Before the trip, Rohit had already been very responsive over calls, helped us tweak the itinerary twice, and was upfront about costs — no hidden charges at checkout. Hotels were proper good, especially the one in Manali. My wife was skeptical about booking through an agency but she was the first to say we should use them again.
Coordinator Never Left Us Guessing in Himachal
We were four friends doing Himachal for the first time — Kasol, Manali, the whole stretch — and honestly none of us had the bandwidth to plan it ourselves. From the first WhatsApp conversation, our coordinator Priya was genuinely involved. Not just replying fast, but actually thinking through what would work for our group. When one hotel had a last-minute issue near Manali, she had an alternative sorted before we even had time to panic. Every cab showed up on time, the itinerary had room to breathe, and there were no surprise charges at checkout. Felt like having someone in our corner the entire trip.
WhatsApp Replies Faster Than My Own Family
Booked a Himachal trip with my wife through TourGrids after a long back-and-forth on WhatsApp — honestly that conversation itself gave me confidence. They assigned a coordinator named Rahul, and this guy was genuinely available. Not just during office hours — even when our cab was running late near Manali, one message and he was on it, called the driver directly and kept us updated. Hotels were proper good, nothing felt randomly picked. The itinerary matched exactly what we discussed, no surprise changes on ground. Pricing was transparent from the start, no hidden charges showed up at checkout. First time my wife actually enjoyed the planning phase instead of stressing about it.
