Discover Spiti Valley at its most spectacular. Journey through ancient monasteries, hidden Himalayan villages, fossil mountains, dramatic canyons, turquoise lakes and some of the highest motorable roads in the world. Designed for travellers seeking authentic Himalayan experiences, this expedition combines breathtaking landscapes, rich Buddhist culture, remote off-road adventures and unforgettable nights beneath crystal-clear mountain skies.
Eight days across the complete summer circuit of Spiti — from the deodar valleys of Kinnaur, along India's frontier at Shipki La, into the fossil villages above 4,500 m, and out through Kunzum Pass to the turquoise waters of Chandratal.
Small groups. Hand-picked stays. Ancient monasteries, sky-high villages and roads that most travellers will never see. This is not a tour package — it is a season of scouting distilled into a single expedition.
Your Himalayan adventure begins in the cool pine forests of Kufri. Meet your expedition crew, complete vehicle allocation, receive a detailed safety briefing and prepare for the unforgettable journey into the Trans Himalayas. Spend the evening getting to know fellow travellers while enjoying the mountain atmosphere.
