What if we told you that Spiti - the barren paradise is more than just a summer destination? What if you could see Spiti in winters, in a completely different picture, far beyond what your imagination can give you? Spiti is at its adventurous best during winters. Witness raw beauty wherever you look! Celebrate the magic of winters where no vegetation grows, and the valleys are flanked by tall, naked, and barren mountains with snow-capped peaks, where very few vehicles make it because there are no roads, just rubble and boulders. Not for the fainthearted, come join us for an epic adventure in sub-zero temperatures as we traverse through a whitewashed valley while having unforgettable experiences and making new memories across this enchanting cold desert!

                                 This is not a leisure trip but an expedition. Participants have to be mentally and physically prepared for this winter expedition.
 Expect power cuts and water shortages when travelling to Spiti Valley due to extreme temperatures
 No hotels are operational during winter in the Spiti Valley. We provide accommodation in homestays on a sharing basis, and we do not promise attached washrooms. Still, we make sure it’s a different charm staying in a homestay, as you will get a taste of the local lifestyle and culture.
 Due to freezing temperatures, the usual washrooms won’t be operational in Spiti Valley. Dry pits washrooms will be available, and the locals use them too. Basic hygiene is always our priority.
 Access to high-altitude regions of Spiti Valley may be blocked during winter due to excessive snowfall. Hence, the visit to these locations is weather dependent. In such a case, we will look for the best possible alternatives, as feasible.
 Numerous factors such as weather, road conditions, the physical ability of participants, etc. may cause itinerary changes. We reserve the right to change any schedule in the interest of safety, comfort, and general well-being.
 Any misbehaviour or abusive attitude towards the Tour captain, Driver, Host or any other co-traveller will not be tolerated, anyone found doing the same will be sent back there and then.
 Expenses incurred (accommodation, transportation, Volvo bus) due to road blockages or other natural calamities will be borne directly by travellers.
 Don’t expect air conditioning in cabs in hilly areas due to the strain on the vehicle while driving
 In case the group size is less than 8 people, an experienced local driver cum guide will be provided instead of a tour captain.
