Anusuya Malhotra – August 10, 2019

We started trekking from Jobra and the excitement continued till the last day of our Hampta Pass trek. The whole experience of trekking in Himachal Pradesh was really amazing. Moreover with the appointed guides and crew members, the fun went further ahead. Entire Hampta Pass itinerary was planned in a very convincing way and was very fulfilling in every aspect.
