Spiti Valley · 5 Nights / 6 Days
A short taste of Spiti: up from Manali over Kunzum La, two nights in Kaza and out through Kinnaur.
This is a one-way route: you enter Spiti from Manali, spend time around Kaza and exit through Kinnaur to Shimla. The Manali approach is quicker but climbs fast, so we put a gentle first night in Manali and keep the first Spiti days light.
It runs only when the Manali-Kunzum La road is open, roughly mid-June to late September, and some days involve very long driving.

Arrive at Manali (via Chandigarh or Bhuntar airport) and rest at around 2,000 metres. A gentle local walk is enough.
A long day (around nine to ten hours) through the Atal Tunnel and over Kunzum La into Spiti. Optional stop near Chandratal is possible only if the road and time allow. Arrive in Kaza (around 3,800 metres) and rest.
Visit Key Monastery, then Kibber and Chicham bridge. Keep an easy pace and finish early.
Drive via Dhankar monastery to Tabo (around four hours of driving plus stops), visiting Tabo monastery and its caves.
Drive via Nako and its lake, then continue into Kinnaur to Kalpa (around six to seven hours). Views toward the Kinner Kailash range at dusk.
A long drive (around eight to nine hours) to Shimla. Onward travel is arranged for the following morning.
Suited to roughly mid-June to late September, when both the Kinnaur and Manali approaches are generally open. Conditions vary each year.
Kaza is around 3,800 metres, villages higher. We ascend gradually and keep rest in the plan. Consult your doctor beforehand.
Landslides, river crossings and rough surfaces are common. Long drive days can run late and we keep buffers.
ATMs, mobile coverage and fuel are limited beyond Kaza. Carry cash, medication and warm clothing.
