Overview

The Spiti Backpacking Trip is your gateway to the “Middle Land” between India & Tibet — a timeless valley of surreal Himalayan landscapes, smiling locals, ancient monasteries, glacial rivers, colorful meadows, and deep blue skies.

This trip takes you on the more scenic, safer Shimla route — open year-round (except during very heavy snowfall). Riding along the iconic Hindustan–Tibet Highway, you ascend gradually, allowing your body to acclimatize comfortably while soaking in unreal mountain panoramas.

From the apple orchards of Reckong Peo to the dramatic Kinnaur Kailash views of Kalpa, from the centuries-old murals of Tabo Monastery to the cliffside grandeur of Dhankar, from the rooftop vistas of Key Monastery to the nostalgia of mailing a postcard from Hikkim, this itinerary ensures you witness both the well-known treasures and the hidden gems of Spiti.

The journey’s final jewel is the crescent-shaped Chandratal Lake, where stargazing under the Milky Way completes your unforgettable Himalayan adventure.
