Spiti Valley tour packages

About Spiti Valley trips

Our Spiti trips follow the Shimla–Kinnaur side, which lets you acclimatise slowly, and include hotels and homestays, breakfast and dinner, and a private cab with a driver who has done the route many times. Pickup is from Delhi or Chandigarh.

Best time to visit Spiti Valley

June to October is the season, when both the Kinnaur and Manali–Kunzum routes are usually open. The Kinnaur route stays open for most of the year, but winter trips are only for travellers ready for very cold weather.

How to reach Spiti Valley

Kaza, the main town, is about 420 km from Shimla through Kinnaur and about 200 km from Manali over the Kunzum Pass. A full circuit from Delhi or Chandigarh needs at least 7 nights so your body can adjust to the altitude.

Places to see in Spiti Valley

• Key Monastery: The best-known monastery of Spiti, on a hill above the Spiti river.
• Tabo Monastery: Founded in 996 AD, with old murals in its mud-walled halls.
• Langza, Hikkim and Komic: High villages with fossils, a Buddha statue and a famous post office.
• Chitkul and Sangla: The last village on the Indo-Tibet road in Kinnaur's Baspa valley.

Good to know: Spiti is above 3,500 metres. Keep the first days slow, drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol for the first two nights. Our plan goes up through Kinnaur for this reason.
