The drive through Spiti Valley is like a roller coaster, thrilling you at every turn, pumping your adrenaline, and satisfying your need for a thrill in every way, leaving you speechless.
Winter in Spiti lasts from November to April, when temperatures can drop to -30 degrees Celsius. Spiti has recently transformed from a land separating Tibet and Himachal Pradesh to a major tourist attraction. Furthermore, Spiti Valley is well-known for three things: its natural beauty, monasteries, and wonderful people.
We take you through all the wonderful places including Kaza, Chitkul a.k.a the last village, Lanza, and Gue to visit the only mummy in India and more unique places. In addition, there are numerous places that make Spiti Valley ideal for any type of traveler. It’s a fantastic location for Instagrammers and photographers because there are so many opportunities for great shots. Spiti is well-known as a tourist destination, but it also has a rich historical past.
The Spiti valley unfolds itself as you drive deeper into the rugged landscape, with its vibrant monasteries, snow-clad mountains, small hamlets, glittering lakes, and views that were previously only seen on your Instagram feed.

We would do everything we could to make this trip as comfortable as possible. However, we recommend that you put aside your fancy luxurious expectations because only basic needs are met in the mountains.
We prefer a smaller group size of only 15-18 participants. The reason for this is that smaller batches are better for collaborative group experiences and trip coordination. In a small group, you're more likely to get along with everyone than in a larger group with more participants.
All of our journeys are accompanied by fully qualified and functionally trained Trip Leads, Assistant Trip Leads, and Drivers. Aside from that, if a trip/trek requires it, local guides and porters (personal expense) will be added.
Yes! As a solo female traveler, you should board with us on the departure date without hesitation. The reason for this is that we will ensure that you have a positive experience throughout your journey. Furthermore, all of our trip leaders have been trained to deal with a variety of situations, and they will be available to you throughout the trip.
Once your reservation is confirmed, a Whatsapp group will be created 3 days prior to your departure, with all the necessary information such as booking details, trip details, and a brief packing list.
We will make sure that you are comfortable throughout the journey, which is why we hire the best-in-class vehicle for the terrain and requirements. Tempo Travellers or taxis such as Innova, Bolero, Tata Sumo, and others are examples of on-road vehicles.
Because we will not be trekking during our journey, you may not require trekking shoes. However, a good pair of shoes with proper soles and equal comfort is recommended.
We will be staying in hotels, camps, and homestays, and we have built restrooms with running water and sanitation facilities.
