With the zeal to discover new places on the rise and the ever-reducing leave situation for young cooperates who want to explore but can never get more than a week away from the desk job, we at tlow have come up with a 7-day backpacker road trip around Spiti Valley which covers everything in a nutsell without you having to break the bank or the need to plead with your HR team for too much leave.
Indira Gandhi International Airport, New Delhi
RK Ashram Metro Station; New Delhi
A quick dash into Spiti Valley & back. That’s how this trip literally is. So, unless time is really, really a big constraint, don’t opt for this trip. Have a look at our other 9 to 11-day trip options.
If time is your biggest concern & this, Offbeat Spiti Valley Via Manali, is your only option, then in that aspect this is an excellent trip since it includes a night stay at Tabo, Langza & covers Chandartal. With a visit to Hikkim, Komic, Kaza & Key, you’re actually covering more places than people do in the same time frame.
Since it’s a seven-day Offbeat Spiti Valley Via Manali trip, it’s one of our best sellers, so if you’re planning on enrolling make pay the advance and book a slot. Since the time frame is perfect for the working corporates, the Offbeat Spiti Valley Via Manali trip usually sells out at least four weeks before departure.
