About the Tour

Spiti Valley – indeed a lifetime trip for adventure seekers. However, it’s not a destination for those who seek a party in the mountains. Rather, it beckons those who can follow a discipline on the trip while opening up their hearts to a new world. In a nutshell, consider this trip as an expedition, not merely a vacation.

Spiti Valley is a magnificent cold mountain desert, also known as the land of Lamas. Prayer flags dancing in the wind, healing mantras in monasteries, the simplistic rural life, heart-warming natives, the world’s highest villages, pristine lakes, clear night sky with zillion stars, the mouthwatering yak cheese, and the aroma of momos, are a few bundles of joy that can only be found in a timeless place like Spiti Valley. The valley leisurely follows its rhythm; least impacted by modernization and fast-paced city life. It’s a complete world in itself, a beautiful adobe nestled between India and Tibet offering overwhelming hospitality, the taste of rich culture, and soothing one’s eyes with awe-inspiring views.

The smiles of lamas, the views from Kunzum Pass, the glittering Spiti River, the magnificence of Key Monastery, the unparalleled beauty of  Chandratal Lake, the laid-back life of Langza and Demul, the pride of Hikkim, the mystery of Gue Mummy, the silence of meditation caves, and many more wonders of Spiti Valley are worth visiting once in a lifetime.

Let’s embark on a lifetime journey to Spiti (also known as mini Tibet) with a group of heartwarming people and discover it like never before. Every day of this trip will surprise you uniquely, and every minute will be filled with new leanings and new realizations.

We have curated this eight days trip in such a manner that you will witness the most famous natural wonders and the religious & cultural landmarks of Spiti Valley while staying at really comfortable places with modern amenities. The trip of a cultural enthusiast to Spiti Valley is really incomplete without visiting the remote villages of Spiti Valley, experiencing their timelessness, interacting with local people, and experiencing their life.

Did we tell you that we have planned this trip intentionally to fall on new moon dates so that you can witness the beautiful night sky, and feel yourself close to the stars? 

Trip Highlights

Your Itinerary

Meet the entire group and the group leader for introduction and orientation in Manali, latest by 2 PM. Hotel check-in will be available at 2 PM only. Please note that the purpose of this Day 1 stay in Manali is to rest & acclimatize. However, you are free to hang out anywhere in Manali because it’s a free day without any plans. But we recommend taking it slow and giving your body some sleep & rest.

Notes:

  1. We are starting this trip from Manali so that people have the flexibility to take the Volvo bus from Delhi or Chandigarh. But we can guide you end to end, and also club with other group members starting from the same city.
  2. Our group leader will depart from Delhi on Day 0 evening, to reach Manali. Many people prefer to join us from Delhi (Volvo fare additional), and you too can join us from Delhi.
  3. If you are not from Delhi, then you can also take a flight from your home city to Chandigarh followed, by a bus journey to Manali. You can contact us for guidance/bookings on the same.
  4. Only hotel stay and dinner on Day 1 are a part of the package, not any kind of transportation as the purpose of the day is just to rest & acclimatize. If you wish to roam around or visit the market, you can take local taxis/autos.
  5. Please note that one should stay in Manali for a minimum of 15 hours to acclimatize before heading toward Kazas. Hence, please plan your arrival in Manali on Day 1 at least by 2 PM.

Notes:

  1. Please keep a good amount of buffer time in hand between your arrival in Manali and your departure from Manali. Chandratal to Manali is a long journey and sometimes might take longer than expected because of traffic conditions. If you wish to stay back in Manali for a resting night, then we can assist you with the same. We might also end up dropping you in Manali a few hours earlier than the committed time and hence, we expect participants to show a degree of flexibility here.
