Spiti tour guide: best time, route and tips
Spiti Valley in Himachal Pradesh is a cold desert of mud-brick villages, ancient monasteries and some of the highest inhabited villages in Asia. Key Monastery, Kibber, Langza, Hikkim, Komic, Dhankar, Tabo and Chandratal Lake are the highlights of most trips.
We run Spiti tour packages from Delhi and Chandigarh as a full circuit: in via Shimla and Kinnaur, out via Kunzum Pass and Manali. This route climbs gradually, which helps with acclimatisation, and covers both Kinnaur and Spiti in one trip.
Best time to visit Spiti
Mid-May to mid-October is the best window for the full circuit. The Manali side (Kunzum Pass and Chandratal) normally opens in June and closes with the first heavy snow in October. The Shimla–Kinnaur side stays open for most of the year, so winter trips are possible for experienced travellers, but roads can close after snowfall.
Route and how many days
A comfortable Spiti circuit takes 8 to 10 days from Delhi: Delhi – Shimla/Narkanda – Sangla or Kalpa – Nako – Tabo – Kaza (two nights) – Chandratal – Manali – Delhi. Shorter 6–7 day trips are possible but involve long drives on mountain roads.
Stays and food
Expect simple hotels, homestays and camps. Homestays in villages like Langza and Komic are warm and authentic but basic; Kaza has the widest choice of hotels. Food is mostly home-style North Indian and Tibetan: thukpa, momos and butter tea.
Permits and practical tips
Indian travellers do not need a permit for Spiti. Foreign nationals need an Inner Line Permit for the Kinnaur–Spiti border stretch. BSNL and Jio have the best coverage; carry cash because ATMs are few. Pack thermals, a windproof jacket, sunscreen and medicines for altitude and motion sickness.
Spiti by bike or SUV
Spiti is a favourite bike route. For bike groups we provide Royal Enfield bikes, a backup vehicle and a mechanic. For families we use an SUV with a driver who knows the route, which is safer on the broken stretches near Nako and Chandratal.
Spiti tour package FAQs
Is Spiti difficult for first-time travellers?
It is remote rather than difficult. Roads are rough in places and altitude can cause headaches, so we keep the route gradual and include a rest day in Kaza.
Can we see Chandratal Lake on the same trip?
Yes, from June to early October when the Kunzum side is open. We usually include a night in camps near Chandratal.
Do you run Spiti group tours?
Yes, we run fixed-date Spiti group tours from Delhi in summer and can also plan private trips for families and friends.
