Uncover the Untamed Beauty of Spiti Valley

Why Spiti Valley?

Spiti Valley isn’t just a place — it’s an experience carved in barren mountains, ancient monasteries, and timeless skies. From snow-capped passes to tiny villages frozen in time, Spiti invites you to slow down, breathe deep, and find your adventure at your own pace.

Visit Ancient Monasteries

 

Step back in time as you visit Spiti’s iconic monasteries — Key Monastery perched dramatically above Kaza, Dhankar Monastery balanced on a cliff, or Tabo Monastery with its 1000-year-old murals. Meet monks, listen to chants, and feel the peace echoing through the cold desert.

Ideal Duration: Half-day to 1 full day

Connect with Remote Villages

 

Walk through tiny hamlets like Langza, Hikkim (home to the world’s highest post office!), Komic, and Kibber — some of the highest inhabited villages on Earth. Share a cup of butter tea, hear local stories, and feel the warmth of Spiti’s simple life.

Ideal Duration: Half-day to 2 days

Discover Stunning Lakes

 

Drive to the iconic Chandratal Lake, the ‘Moon Lake’ with its surreal blue waters. Camp overnight under millions of stars or visit for a day trip from Kaza (depending on weather and road conditions). A must for photographers and dreamers.

Ideal Duration: 1 day or overnight camping

Drive Through Jaw-Dropping Landscapes

 

Cross Kunzum Pass, conquer winding mountain roads, and witness rugged cliffs and changing colours of the Spitian terrain. Every turn unveils a new wonder — from snowy peaks to lunar landscapes.

Ideal Duration: 1–2 days (plan with local taxis or your host)

Experience Local Life & Festivals

 

If you’re lucky to visit during a festival, you’ll see masked dances, vibrant costumes, and centuries-old rituals come alive. Even in quiet times, you can learn local crafts, taste traditional food, or join a small village prayer ceremony.

Ideal Duration: Add 1–2 days for seasonal experiences

Sleep Under a Billion Stars

 

With zero light pollution, Spiti is a paradise for stargazers. On clear nights, the Milky Way lights up the sky like nowhere else. Bring your camera — or just lie back and count shooting stars.

Ideal Duration: Every clear night is a chance!
