7-day Spiti Valley itinerary from Chandigarh

A starting plan, not a fixed package. We change it around your dates, group and budget.

Drive from Chandigarh to Narkanda or Sangla for the first night. Arrive and rest. Altitude gain starts tomorrow, so the first night is deliberately low.
Drive to Sangla or Kalpa. Long day on the road, big views for most of it.
The landscape turns from green to cold desert. Tabo monastery in the evening.
Dhankar monastery en route. Kaza is the base for everything that follows.
The classic Spiti day. Short drives, high villages, no rushing at this altitude.
Season permitting. Camping by the lake is the highlight of the trip when the road is open.
Out via Manali if the road is open, or back the way you came. Exit via Manali and drive back to Chandigarh, or retrace the Kinnaur road in winter.

Know before you book Spiti Valley

From Shimla
Approx 420 km, 2 days via Kinnaur, open most of the year
Altitude
Kaza sits around 3,800 m

Spiti is not a long weekend, whatever a Reel tells you. The altitude alone needs two days of acclimatisation, and the Manali side road only opens roughly June to October. Rushing it is how people end up with altitude sickness in a place with almost no hospitals.
