SPITI VALLEY TREK PACKAGE
Batch – November – 2023
Batch – December – 2023
Batch – January – 2023
A warm welcome by our team at the Departure point.
Departure from Delhi to Manali in the evening by 7, Have a pit stop for dinner during the journey.
An overnight journey from Delhi to Manali.
Check in to the hotel. We have kept this day for acclimatization purposes. Later head-out for self-exploration of Manali - Like Vashisht Temple, Hadimba temple, TheMall road, Jogini Waterfall.
Come back to the Hotel , Dinner & Overnight stay at the hotel.
We start early morning from Manali, huddled together in our vehicles, and head off straight to the beautiful town of Kaza (3,800 m).
It will be a 7-8 hour journey via Atal Tunnel and Kunzum Pass.
At Kaza, we rest the night in our cozy homestay, eating by the Bukhari and warming ourselves in the chilly and windy nights.
We also take this day to acclimatize to the high altitude of Spiti by drinking plenty of water and taking short walks around.
From Kaza, we then move on to explore Pin Valley. We head towards Mudh which is a high-altitude village located in Pin Valley of Spiti District. Pin Valley is known for its Pin Valley National Park, home to the snow leopard and Siberian ibex. With such high reaches and glaciers where humankind seldom goes, Pin Valley might as well one of the highlights of your trip!
Mudh is the last motorable village in India on this side and is also the base camp for a number of long treks including the famous Pin Bhabha Pass Trek. Known for its sprouting pink blossoms known as Sia Mentok, Mudh is an enchanting land that is sure to leave you awestruck!
From Mudh, we move on to explore Dhankar Monastery. Dhankar used to be the administrative capital of Spiti before Kaza. We explore the village and visit the Dhankar Gompa situated asymmetrically atop a steep cliff.
This hill-top fort that overlooks the Spiti Valley also once used to serve as a jail in the olden days. After spending some amazing moments in this peaceful monastery, we finally head towards Tabo where The Dalai Lama has expressed his wishes to Tabo Monastery since it is considered one of the holiest.
After a full day of moving around, we finally call it a night at a hotel in Kaza
From Kaza, we drive to Kibber. Kibber is also home to the majestic snow leopard and gives a breath-taking view of Kanamo Peak at 19, 600 feet. From Kibber, we visit the famous Chicham Bridge, the highest bridge in Asia, and hear stories about the ancient method of using pulley trolleys.
We now drive through the least populated village of Spiti- Losar, to reach India’s highest motorable mountain pass which connects Kullu and Lahaul to Spiti valley- Kunzum La at 15,000 feet.
From Kunzum La, we head towards one of the most photogenic places in Spiti Valley- the breath-taking Chandratal Lake, also known as the lake of the moon. This magnificent lake has surprisingly no visible source of water, concluding that the water for this lake comes from underground.
We spend the night in camps and spend our evening gazing at millions of stars on a clear night.
To celebrate our last day in Spiti Valley, we depart from Chandratal Lake and make our way to Batal, home to the famous Chachi Chachi ka Chandra Dhaba. From there we continue our journey on Kaza – Manali Highway while taking a lunch halt at Chhatru. Driving beside the Chandra river we pass Gramphoo village and enter Atal Tunnel (Rohtang Tunnel) to reach Manali, thus entering the Kullu District.
The tunnel is intended to create an all-weather route to Leh and Lahaul and Spiti valleys in Himachal Pradesh. The 9.02 km-long tunnel passes under the Rohtang Pass in the eastern Pir Panjal range on the Leh-Manali highway. We reach Manali, only to head back home with a heart full of happy memories
You’ll be accommodated in a clean and hygienic guest house for the first two and the last two days of the trek and for the remaining you’ll be accommodated in tents and sleep bags will also be provided.
We’ll dispatch daily batches (almost all days) in the months of August, September and October. Where we welcome large groups and small groups likewise. Though if you want to trek solo or in a small group the trek can be customised according to your need. (Charges may differ according to your needs)
