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, 

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
