This particular Spiti Valley road trip has been our season opener since 2014 but it’s evolved over the year from a 14-day road trip to 11 days which includes an enriching experience of the humble village life in Spiti Valley & Kinnaur Valley. Since the Kunzum road via Manali isn’t open, so the moon lake Chandartal isn’t accessible during the months that this road trip is scheduled.

If inner peace is what you seek along with getting a new perspective in life then watch the video and enroll on a trip of a lifetime.

What to Expect

Our only road trip to Spiti valley which does not include the might chandartal lake, The only reason for excluding the moon lake is the fact that in the month of May the road to Chandartal is never open,

To make up for the loss of Chandartal we have added the handcraft village of Demul which is a village that follows a sustainable tourism method where everyone in the village houses tourist on a rotation basis.

The bus from Delhi to Rampur is the best in its class by HRTC on that particular route. The Kinnaur bit of the road trip is as interesting as Spiti with Sarahan, Chitkul & Nako all a different mix of what we usually don’t expect from Himalayan villages. Chitkul is also famous as the last village before the India China border.

Our trip has been planned in such a way that as each day passes the trip will keep getting better along the journey & by the end of it all you have actually travelled & lived in some of the highest villages inhabited in the world.

Best Season: Mid May to End of Oct
Internet: 4G Airtel / Jio
ATM: Kaza & Tabo (Better to carry cash)
Temperature: 0-20°c
Must Do: Hike to Dhankar Lake
Home stays: Chitkul & Langza
