A lonely trek. Some horses. Loads of Buffaloes. 4 blissful days.
There are so many beautiful treks hidden away in the Himalayas that we know nothing about.
Most of you are aware of the Hampta Pass Trek, you’ll see huge groups heading there every summer, but tucked away in the beautiful hills of Manali is also the Hamta Circle trek. It is almost impossible to find useful information about it online. No one knows about it except locals and a few buffaloes who have made the meadows in Hamta Circle their royal home.
So, we packed our bags, grabbed some food to cook along the way and went out there to check it out and here is what we found.
It’s easy to moderate trek (easy when it's sunny and moderate when it's raining), that can be done in the summer and would be a beautiful trek in winters too. It’s suitable for beginners and for kids aged 10-14 years too, so you can go on this trek alone, with friends or with your family. And the most important thing is that you will see forests, meadows, waterfalls, beautiful flowers and epic views in just 4 days that you’ll spend on this trail. So, it’s a perfect mini getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city.
This is what your four days on the trail would look like.
