SPITI VALLEY PACKAGE
Embark on a soul-stirring journey through the legendary Spiti Valley — India’s last Shangri-La and one of the most remote, awe-inspiring cold deserts in the Himalayas. This 9 Days / 8 Nights all-inclusive package takes you through ancient monasteries, dramatic mountain landscapes, high-altitude villages, and the mystical shores of Chandratal Lake.
Covering the iconic circuit from Chandigarh → Shimla → Kaza → Manali → Chandigarh, you’ll traverse the breathtaking Kinnaur Valley, cross the mighty Kunzum Pass (4,590m), visit a 1,000-year-old monastery at Tabo, and camp beneath some of the clearest night skies on Earth. The perfect escape for those who seek raw Himalayan beauty, cultural depth, and the thrill of the road less travelled.
Day-by-Day Itinerary
Chandigarh → Shimla
Pickup from Chandigarh and begin your Himalayan journey. Drive through the scenic towns of Solan and Kufri before descending into the Queen of Hills — Shimla. Check in to your hotel and spend the evening exploring the iconic Mall Road.
Shimla → Sangla / Chitkul
An epic drive through the spectacular Kinnaur Valley — past Narkanda, Rampur, and the Karcham Dam. Arrive at the stunning Sangla Valley and visit Chitkul, the last inhabited village on the Indo-Tibetan border, draped in apple orchards and Tibetan culture.
Sangla → Kalpa
Explore Chitkul village in the morning at your leisure before driving to the serene apple-orchard town of Kalpa. Enjoy spectacular views of the sacred Kinnaur Kailash peak (6,050m), glowing golden at sunset — one of the most dramatic sights in all of Himachal Pradesh.
Kalpa → Tabo
Drive through the ancient landscapes of Pooh and the high-altitude village of Nako, perched beside its famous emerald lake. Arrive at Tabo — home to the legendary Tabo Monastery, over 1,000 years old and the oldest continuously functioning Buddhist monastery in India.
Tabo → Kaza (via Dhankar)
En route to Kaza, stop at the cliff-perched Dhankar Monastery and the stunning turquoise Dhankar Lake — a short trek above the monastery. Arrive in Kaza, the headquarters of Spiti Valley, and explore the vibrant local market in the evening.
Kaza — Full Day Local Sightseeing
A full day exploring the crown jewels of Spiti Valley. Visit the iconic Key Monastery (3,800m), the world’s highest post office at Hikkim, the stunning Kibber Village — one of the highest motorable villages in the world — and the fossil-rich meadows of Langza with its giant Buddha statue.
Kaza → Chandratal Lake
Drive across the high-altitude Kunzum Pass (4,590m), one of the most dramatic mountain passes in India, before descending to the ethereal Chandratal Lake — the “Moon Lake” at 4,300m. Set up camp by the turquoise waters and spend the night stargazing under an impossibly clear Himalayan sky.
Chandratal → Manali
After a sunrise by the lake, drive through the rugged Batal valley and pass through the engineering marvel of the Atal Tunnel (Rohtang) — the world’s longest highway tunnel above 10,000 feet. Arrive in the adventure capital Manali, check in and enjoy the evening at leisure on Mall Road.
Manali → Chandigarh — Journey Ends ❤️
Board your return vehicle and head back to Chandigarh, carrying with you the unforgettable memories of Spiti’s ancient monasteries, star-lit camps, and jaw-dropping landscapes. Trip concludes at Chandigarh with drop-off as per schedule.
Package Highlights & Experience
This carefully designed circuit begins in Chandigarh and takes you through the dramatic transition from lush Shimla hills to the stark, Mars-like beauty of the Spiti cold desert. The route via Kinnaur Valley is one of the most scenic drives in Asia — hugging cliff faces above deep gorges, crossing rivers, and revealing sweeping Himalayan vistas at every turn.
The cultural highlights are extraordinary — from the 1,000-year-old Tabo Monastery and the cliff-side Dhankar Gompa to the world-famous Key Monastery and the highest post office on Earth at Hikkim. Each stop reveals a living, breathing Tibetan Buddhist culture that has remained unchanged for centuries.
The package culminates at the magical Chandratal Lake (4,300m) — an overnight camping experience beside pristine glacial waters that will stay with you long after the journey ends. The drive back via the Atal Tunnel through Manali to Chandigarh completes a perfect Himalayan circuit, making this the definitive Spiti experience.
