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 nine-day Backpacker Road Trip Spiti Valley which covers everything in a nutshell 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, New Delhi
A lot of travel to start with, so come prepared to be on the road for at least 5-8 hours a day.

If you don’t mind the travel, then this, Backpacker Road Trip Spiti Valley, is a corperates delight.
The 9-day Backpacker Road Trip Spiti Valley is always clubbed with two weekends & the max you’ll need to take is a five-day break from the city grind. This Backpacker Road Trip Spiti Valley is specially made for people who are looking to travel to Spiti Valley & at the same time can’t manage to squeeze more time in.
