Hampta Circuit Trek is a lesser-known trekking route in the beautiful state of Himachal Pradesh, situated in the northern part of India. This trek is often confused with Hampta Pass Trek, but it is a distinct and different trekking route that starts from Jagatsukh, which is located 7km southwest of Manali. The trek takes you through some of the most breathtaking landscapes of the Pirpanjal range, providing an unforgettable trekking experience to adventure enthusiasts.

Hampta Circuit Trek is a moderate trek, suitable for both experienced trekkers and beginners. The trek takes you through lush green forests, sparkling streams, high-altitude meadows, and snow-capped mountains. The maximum altitude reached during the trek is 4,200 meters at Sethan Dome.

The trek begins from the village of Jagatsukh, which is situated at an altitude of 2,050 meters. From Jagatsukh, the trail ascends through dense forests of oak and pine trees, providing breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. The later part of the Hampta circuit route features a rocky terrain. Known for providing panoramic views of the Dhauladhar and Pir Panjal ranges, it is a perfect offbeat trek you could consider for your next adventure outing.
