Spiti Valley - Summer 7 Days - Fixed Group Departure

In the upper Himalayan region exists Spiti Valley - the middle land, which is filled with wonders and sights that are unparalleled. Spiti Valley – where birds fly across the blue skies, while the towering mountains keep the secret of this land, safe in their shadows.

Spiti Valley – where chants ring across the rustic monasteries, and the villages lay perched on the far away slopes. Each looking like a dream you'd want to live.

Spiti Valley – where rivers meander through deserted valleys, where you'd stand and stare in disbelief that something like this can continue to exist beyond the usual destinations.

So join us on this journey to Spiti Valley, where you'd be taken away from the mundane by a monk on one of the afternoons, where he'd tell you about life in this land. Where you'd sit and stare at the stars, while sitting beside the river and wonder, how lucky are those who could experience this.

Spiti Valley is the land where you'd listen to stories that belongs to a lifestyle you had never imagined about ; where you'd visit a lake existing in the middle of nowhere, as if an oasis for the Gods who once lives here.

At 12,500 feet above sea level, Spiti Valley is where you'd see, a different side of Himalayas.

This guided and curated seven-day Spiti Valley road trip is designed for travellers looking for an authentic Spiti Valley experience in a week’s time. Shared by a small group of travellers, this Spiti Valley Tour includes travelling in a comfortable Force Traveller to some of the most popular villages of Spiti Valley including Asia’s highest villages – Komik and Kibber.

Marvel at the wondrous structure of the Ki Monastery and get ready to be amazed by the Tabo Monastery – a 1020-year-old UNESCO World Heritage Site. End this tour on a high note (literally), as you spend a night, gazing at the Milky Way and the millions of stars while camping around the stunningly beautiful Chandratal Lake.

Nishita Biyani

We experienced the land of Gods with the best in the land. Spiti Holiday adventure (the entire team) ensured we were safe at all times during the journey. Their hospitality, warmth and presence made a good trip one of the best we've had. Invaluable stories about the valley, ever smiling faces and grace towards people from other parts of the country is true hospitality. We can't wait to be back and experience this beautiful part of India once again.
