The highlight of the trip, this day is packed with adventure. Set out early after breakfast for the steep climb to Hampta Pass. The view from the top is breathtaking and worth every step. After a well-deserved break, descend to the beautiful valley of Shea Goru for lunch. Spend the afternoon exploring the valley and its many streams, waterfalls, and meadows. Return to the campsite for dinner and a good night's sleep.
Wake up early to enjoy the sunrise and the beautiful surroundings of the campsite. After breakfast, start the easy descent back to the roadhead. Stop at a local temple en route to pay your respects. Depart for Manali, and bid farewell to the beautiful Hampta Valley.
Consider adding a visit to the local hot springs or a visit to the nearby town of Naggar. If you have more time, consider a side trip to the beautiful town of Leh, or the picturesque Spiti Valley.

Lastly, respect the local culture and customs, and leave no trace behind.
