This journey takes you through breathtaking landscapes, remote villages, and ancient monasteries, offering a perfect blend of adventure, culture, and tranquility. From lush green valleys to rugged barren mountains, the Spiti experience is nothing short of magical.
Your adventure begins in Chandigarh, where you embark on a scenic drive towards Narkanda, witnessing the landscape transform from bustling plains to serene mountains. Along the way, the Hatu Temple offers a spiritual start with mesmerizing views. The journey continues towards Chitkul, the last inhabited village of India, where wooden houses and flowing rivers create a postcard-perfect scene. A short drive leads to Sangla, where you can unwind amidst the lush green valley.
Leaving behind the greenery, you head towards Tabo via Nako and Khab, where you witness the striking confluence of the Spiti and Sutlej rivers. A visit to Nako Lake and a chance to experience the local culture make this day even more special. In Tabo, the Tabo Monastery, known as the "Ajanta of the Himalayas," offers a glimpse into over 1,000 years of Buddhist history.
The adventure continues as you journey to Kaza via Dhankar Monastery, perched dramatically on a cliff. In Kaza, you’ll explore Langza, the fossil village, Komik, the highest motorable village, and Hikkim, home to the world's highest post office. These destinations offer unique insights into the life and culture of Spiti’s high-altitude inhabitants.
Further exploration takes you to Key Monastery, Khibber Village, and the stunning Chicham Bridge, one of the highest bridges in the world. The views from these spots are absolutely surreal, making them a paradise for photographers and adventure seekers.
As you begin your journey back, you’ll stop at Gue Village, where a 550-year-old mummified monk sits in meditation. The final leg of the trip takes you to Kalpa, where the sight of the Kinner Kailash range at sunrise leaves a lasting impression.
