The Spiti Valley with Chandratal tour offers a mesmerizing journey through one of the most beautiful and remote regions in the Himalayas. Known as "The Middle Land" between India and Tibet, Spiti Valley is a cold desert mountain valley with stunning landscapes, ancient monasteries, and a unique culture. This tour takes you through the recently inaugurated Atal Tunnel, across high mountain passes, and to the stunning Chandratal Lake - the Moon Lake.
Witness the dramatic shift from lush green valleys to brown arid deserts
Cross the Atal Tunnel - the world's longest highway tunnel above 10,000 feet
Camp near the stunning crescent-shaped high-altitude lake
Visit Key Monastery - the largest monastery in Spiti Valley
The best time for Spiti Valley is from June to September when the roads are open and the weather is pleasant. Monsoon season (July-August) may have some roadblocks but the landscape is lush. Winters (October-May) are extremely cold with heavy snowfall and most roads are closed.
This is a road trip with moderate difficulty. While no trekking is involved, the journey involves long drives on mountainous roads and high altitudes (up to 15,000 ft). People with motion sickness or altitude sickness should take precautions.
Essential items include: warm clothing (temperatures drop at night), comfortable trekking shoes, sunglasses, sunscreen, personal medications, water bottles, power bank (limited electricity), camera, and basic toiletries. A detailed packing list will be provided upon booking.
We recommend participants be between 12-60 years old. Minors must be accompanied by guardians. People with heart conditions, severe asthma, or other serious medical conditions should consult their doctor before attempting this trip due to high altitudes.
In Manali and Kaza, you'll stay in hotels/homestays with basic amenities. At Chandratal, accommodation is in Swiss tents with common toilets. All accommodations are on twin/triple sharing basis.

Spiti is a high-altitude region. Stay hydrated, avoid alcohol, and inform guides if you feel unwell. Acclimatize properly in Manali before heading higher.
Temperatures can vary drastically. Carry layers - warm clothes for cold nights/mornings and lighter clothes for sunny afternoons.
Carry extra batteries as cold drains them quickly. Wide-angle lens works best for landscapes. Early morning light is ideal for photography at Chandratal.
