Winter Spiti
An unforgettable 9D / 8N escape, handcrafted for explorers.
Winter Spiti — The Cold Desert Is Calling
Spiti in winter is a different valley altogether: quieter roads, frozen rivers and villages dusted in snow. This 9-day loop enters through Shimla and the Kinnaur valley rather than Manali, since the Atal Tunnel side shuts down for the season. Walk beside the frozen Baspa at Chitkul, drive past Nako's frozen lake, visit the thousand-year-old monasteries at Tabo and Dhankar, send a postcard from the world's highest post office at Hikkim, and chase snow leopard country around Langza and Komic before looping back through Kalpa with Kinner Kailash filling the horizon.
