Hampta Pass Trek Resumes for 2025 – Himachal Travel Update- 10/Sept/2025
After days of disruption in Himachal Pradesh, the region is now steadily moving toward restoration, bringing back normalcy and hope. The recent disaster that impacted lives and infrastructure—especially in Manali, Kullu, and Mandi—had saddened the entire nation. Today, progress is visible, and travel to Manali for the Hampta Pass Trek has become smoother.
Road Travel Update
– Delhi–Chandigarh–Manali Highway: Nearly 80% of the route has been restored. Volvo and state transport buses are operating conveniently up to Mandi.
– From Mandi, multiple shared taxis are readily available to reach Manali without hassle.
– With continuous efforts by NHAI and BRO, full connectivity is expected to be restored by 14 September 2025.
– Manali–Leh Highway via Atal Tunnel: Reopened today for light vehicles after 10 days, bringing much-needed relief to residents and tribal farmers of the Lahaul region in Lahaul and Spiti district.
To verify road conditions, Trekup India sent Trek Leader Mr. Bharath from Dehradun to Manali via Chandigarh in a Volvo bus. He reported smooth travel up to Mandi and a comfortable onward journey to Manali in a shared taxi, reaching on schedule.
