Spiti Valley Road Trip

With the summer heat giving way to the maddening monsoons of the hills, with landslides and road blockages in most parts of the Himalayas, this road trip to the cold desert is your perfect getaway to escape the scorching heat and humidity of the cities and the endless rains of the mountains. What if you do all this, and more at one of the highest places in India? 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, where there is raw beauty wherever you look!

Spiti, the ‘middle land’, is one of our favorite destinations. It not only gives us respite from the heat but also teaches us how to truly live and let go! But Spiti is not for those who seek a luxurious getaway, or for the fainthearted. If you’re someone looking to explore the local Spitian culture by staying in rustic homestays and eating local food, come on board as we journey through this magical land exploring hidden gems and making countless memories under the stars.

Highlights of the Trip-
Visit age-old temples.
Explore monasteries literally hanging from cliffs.
Experience Upper Himalayas.
Sit by crystal blue lakes and relax.
Send a postcard from the highest post office in the world.
Cross some of the highest passes in the world.
Stay under a billion-star sky.

We have given wings to your desires to unleash the true beauty of the Himalayas in such rustic landscapes. If you are challenging enough to explore the enthralling experience of the Spiti Valley road trip, book with us today!
