Here is The Land Of Wanderlust’s blueprint to a six-day backpacker Kinnaur Valley Road Trip, the land of apples and stunning landscapes which is still very much unexplored and untapped. Our Kinnaur valley road trip starts with a semi-sleeper Volvo bus ride from Delhi and a private taxi that takes travellers to the towns of Kalpa, Sangla, and the nomadic villages of Rakcham and Chitku,l the latter being the last village on the Indo-Tibet border. The Kinnaur Valley Road Trip ends with the same semi-sleeper Volvo bus ride from Rampur to Delhi.
If you can’t make it for the 11-day road trip to Spiti Valley, then this, 5N/6D Kinnaur Valley Road Trip, is your next best option. This particular trip covers everything there is to explore in Spiti Valley without making the trip a rush one.
Expect the weather to be hot during the daytime (dry heat) & extremely cold and windy after sundown. The crowd that this trip attracts is generally a mix of solo backpackers from around the country, with girls making up 70% of the group size.
If you’re looking to disconnect from your smartphone, then Kinnaur Valley is the place for you.
