The Hampta Pass Trek has  four major campsites: Chika, Balu Ka Ghera, Shea Goru, and Chatru. Each campsite sits at a different altitude, which means the weather and temperature vary throughout the trek. To better understand what conditions you can expect on the trail, let’s take a closer look at the weather at each campsite during June.

Night Temperature: 2°C to 12°C

Chika is the first campsite of the Hampta Pass where trekkers spend their first night. It sits at an altitude at 3,078 meters. Because it is the lowest campsite on the trail, the daytime weather is quite pleasant, staying between 12°C to 22°C, while the night temperature ranges between 2°C to 12°C.

Balu Ka Ghera

Day Temperature: 15°C to 18°C

Night Temperature: 0°C to 6°C

Balu ka Ghera sits at much higher altitude at 3,800 meters. Even during the day the air stays quite cold ranging between 15°C to 18°C.
