Package Overview
Embark on the ultimate Himalayan road trip with our 8-day Complete Spiti Valley Circuit Tour Package. Known as the "Middle Land" between India and Tibet, Spiti Valley is a high-altitude desert featuring surreal landscapes, deep gorges, and ancient Buddhist heritage. This meticulously planned expedition takes you through the Hindustan-Tibet highway, stopping at the lush apple orchards of Narkanda and the last Indian village of Chitkul. You will witness the 500-year-old monk mummy in Giu, marvel at the thousand-year-old Tabo Monastery, and mail a letter from Hikkim, the world’s highest post office. The adventure peaks with an overnight camping experience at the crescent-shaped Chandratal Lake before crossing the mighty Kunzum Pass and Atal Tunnel into Manali. Complete with private cab transfers, comfortable homestays and camps, and daily meals, this package is designed for true mountain explorers.

Day-by-Day Tour Itinerary
Upon your arrival at the Delhi or Chandigarh Airport/Railway Station, our representative will warmly welcome you. Board your private cab and begin the long, scenic drive toward the mountains of Himachal Pradesh. You will travel via the popular routes of Shimla and Mashobra before leaving the crowded city behind to reach the peaceful, apple-orchard town of Narkanda (approx. 400 km / 9 hrs from Delhi). Upon arrival in the evening, check into your hotel, relax after the long journey, and enjoy a warm dinner. Overnight stay in Narkanda.
After breakfast, check out from your hotel and depart for the beautiful Kinnaur Valley. You will drive alongside the Sutlej River, making a brief stop at the massive Karcham Dam before entering the Sangla Valley. By the late afternoon, you will reach Chitkul (approx. 150 km / 4-5 hrs), famous for being the last inhabited Indian village near the Indo-Tibetan border. Enjoy a peaceful walk by the high-altitude Baspa River, surrounded by spectacular snow-capped mountain views. Check into your hotel or homestay for dinner and an overnight stay in Chitkul/Sangla.
Following an early breakfast, begin your transition from the green Kinnaur valley into the barren, moon-like desert of Spiti. Drive via Nako, where you can visit the serene Nako Lake. Continue crossing the famous Ka Loops and enter Spiti Valley through the Sumdo Border checkpoint. Take a fascinating detour to the village of Giu, which houses the naturally preserved 500-year-old mummy of a Buddhist monk. Finally, reach the ancient town of Tabo by the evening. Check into your accommodation, enjoy a hot dinner, and rest for the night.
Start your day by visiting the 1,000-year-old Tabo Monastery, often referred to as the "Ajanta of the Himalayas" for its ancient murals and stucco sculptures. Afterward, drive toward Kaza. En route, visit the spectacular Dhankar Monastery, perched precariously on a high cliff overlooking the confluence of the Spiti and Pin rivers. You will also take a detour to explore the rugged beauty of Pin Valley, visiting the Tailing Hanging Bridge and Mudh Village. Reach Kaza, the commercial center of Spiti, by the evening. Check into your homestay/hotel for dinner and an overnight stay.
Today is dedicated to exploring the architectural and geographical marvels around Kaza. After breakfast, visit the iconic Key Monastery, the largest and most photographed monastery in Spiti. Next, drive to Kibber village and cross the Chicham Bridge, Asia's highest bridge at 13,596 feet. Continue your high-altitude circuit by visiting Hikkim to mail a postcard from the world’s highest post office. Proceed to Komik, the highest motorable village in the world, and conclude your tour at Langza, famous for its giant Buddha statue overlooking the snow-capped mountains and marine fossils. Return to Kaza for an overnight stay.
After an early breakfast, check out from Kaza and begin your journey to one of the most stunning locations in the Himalayas. You will drive up the winding roads to cross the mighty Kunzum Pass (15,050 ft). From there, take the off-road trail to reach the base of Chandratal (The Moon Lake). After a short 1 km hike from the parking area, you will witness the breathtaking, crystal-clear, crescent-shaped lake changing colors with the sun. Return to your alpine campsite near the lake before dark. Enjoy a night of incredible stargazing, dinner, and an overnight stay in the camps.
Wake up to a freezing but beautiful morning at the campsite. After a basic breakfast, check out and begin your rugged drive toward the Kullu Valley. You will pass through the tough terrains of Batal and Chhatru before hitting the smooth tarmac of the Lahaul Valley at Sissu. Cross the engineering marvel, the Atal Tunnel (or the traditional Rohtang Pass, weather permitting), to enter the lush green landscapes of Manali. Check into your hotel in Manali, enjoy your first hot shower in days, and relish a comfortable dinner and overnight stay.
Enjoy a hearty breakfast at your hotel and complete your check-out process. Board your private cab for the long return journey down the mountains toward the plains. Our driver will safely drop you off at the Delhi or Chandigarh Airport/Railway Station by the late evening or night, marking the end of your epic Spiti Valley expedition with a camera full of photos and a heart full of memories.

Essential Travel Notes
Traveling to Spiti Valley is a high-altitude adventure (ranging from 10,000 to 15,000 feet), so acclimatization is crucial to avoid Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS). We highly recommend staying hydrated and carrying basic altitude and motion sickness medication. Because this region experiences extremely cold temperatures even in summer, all accommodations provided throughout the circuit (including Manali) will be Non-A/C. Please be aware that luxury amenities are not available in remote areas like Kaza, Tabo, and Chandratal; accommodations will be basic, neat, and highly authentic homestays, guesthouses, or alpine camps. Electricity and mobile network connectivity (only BSNL and Jio work in patches) will be highly erratic beyond Narkanda. All guests must carry a valid, original government-issued photo ID (Aadhar Card or Passport) for mandatory border security checkpoints and hotel check-ins.
Frequently Asked Questions
Mobile network is highly unreliable in the Spiti circuit. BSNL and Jio postpaid networks work intermittently in Kaza and Tabo, but other networks like Airtel and Vodafone will completely lose signal once you cross Narkanda/Sangla. It is a true off-the-grid experience.
Because Chandratal is a highly protected ecological zone, permanent concrete structures are not allowed. The camps are temporary alpine tents. While some premium camps offer attached dry-pit toilets, many standard camps have common bathroom tents. Hot water is usually provided in buckets upon request.
To complete this specific circuit (entering from Shimla and exiting from Manali), you must travel between mid-June and early October. During the rest of the year, the Kunzum Pass and the route to Chandratal remain heavily buried in snow and are completely closed to all traffic.
