This Spiti Valley Road Trip Package from Delhi offers a ten-day private circuit that enters Spiti through Shimla and Kinnaur before exiting through Kunzum Pass, Chandratal and Manali.
The route covers Sangla Valley, Chitkul, Kalpa, Nako, Tabo, Dhankar, Kaza and the high-altitude villages surrounding Kaza. The final section passes through Losar, Kunzum Pass, Chandratal, Batal, Chhatru, Gramphu and Atal Tunnel before reaching Manali.
The package includes nine nights’ accommodation, nine breakfasts, nine dinners, a route-suitable private vehicle and sightseeing according to the confirmed itinerary.
Begin with a private journey from Delhi to Shimla before entering Kinnaur through Narkanda, Rampur and Sarahan. Spend two nights in Sangla and visit Kamru, Rakchham and Chitkul. Continue towards Kalpa through Karcham and Reckong Peo and enjoy views of the Kinner Kailash mountain range when the weather is clear. Travel deeper into the Himalayas through Pooh, Khab, Nako and Sumdo. Visit Giu village and its preserved mummy before reaching Tabo. Explore Tabo Monastery and continue towards Kaza through Dhankar. Spend two nights in Kaza and visit Langza, Hikkim, Komic, Key Monastery, Kibber and other accessible attractions. The return journey crosses Losar and Kunzum Pass before reaching Chandratal Lake and the permitted seasonal camping area. The road from Chandratal and Batal towards Manali is one of the roughest sections of the tour. It requires a suitable vehicle, an experienced mountain driver, an early departure and flexibility regarding travel time. The nala crossing on the Chandratal approach that previously caused repeated interruption because of increased water flow has been improved for the current operating season. However, this improvement does not make the complete road all-weather. Heavy rainfall, fresh snowfall, water flow, landslides or official restrictions can still close the route. Travellers interested only in Kinnaur can consider the Kinnaur Tour Package from Delhi. Those starting closer to Himachal can view the Spiti Valley Road Trip from Chandigarh. Entering through Shimla, Sangla, Kalpa and Tabo provides a more gradual increase in sleeping altitude than entering directly from the Manali side. This route can support acclimatisation, but it cannot eliminate the possibility of altitude illness. Travellers must monitor their health and immediately report symptoms to the Tour Manager and driver. Explore Sangla Valley, Kamru village, Rakchham, Chitkul and accessible areas around the Baspa River. Continue towards Kalpa for village surroundings, apple orchards, temples, monasteries and views of the Kinner Kailash range. Mountain visibility depends on the weather and cannot be guaranteed. Visit Nako Lake and Nako Monastery according to available time and public access. Proceed towards Giu village to see the preserved mummy, subject to road conditions and the attraction being open. Tabo is known for its historic monastery complex. Continue towards Dhankar village and monastery before travelling to Kaza. Spend a full day exploring Langza, Hikkim, Komic, Key Monastery and Kibber. The roads connecting these villages remain subject to snow, rainfall, maintenance work and local-authority restrictions. Postal services, monasteries and other attractions may be closed without prior notice. Travel from Kaza through Losar and Kunzum Pass towards Chandratal Lake. Kunzum Pass and the Chandratal road are seasonal. The lake visit, camp stay and onward journey to Manali are possible only when the entire route has been officially opened and declared safe. The standard route towards Manali proceeds through Batal, Chhatru, Gramphu, Koksar and Atal Tunnel. Rohtang Pass is not part of the direct route. This is a high-altitude expedition-style road trip with long drives, remote stays, basic facilities and unpredictable road conditions. Travellers should remain flexible, start each day at the instructed time and avoid insisting on unsafe stops or unnecessary delays. Keep at least one buffer day between the scheduled Delhi arrival and any important flight, train, work commitment or international departure.Why This Circuit Enters from Shimla
