With expert guides, comfortable homestays, and breathtaking trails, this is the ultimate Spiti adventure for nature lovers and trekking enthusiasts.

Day 1: Arrival in Kaza – Gateway to the Spitian Highlands
The adventure begins as you arrive in Kaza, the capital of Spiti Valley, where the crisp mountain air and stark landscapes set the tone for the trek ahead. Nestled at an altitude of 3,650 meters, Kaza is a bustling yet charming town, offering a blend of traditional Tibetan culture and modern amenities.

After checking into a cozy guesthouse, travelers can explore the local market, visit the ancient Sakya Monastery, and acclimatize to the high-altitude environment. A briefing session with expert trek leaders ensures everyone is well-prepared for the days ahead. The evening is spent soaking in the serenity of Spiti under a star-studded sky.

Day 2: Trek to Key Monastery & Kibber – A Journey Through Time
The trek kicks off with a scenic hike towards Key Monastery, an architectural marvel perched dramatically on a hilltop. Dating back over a thousand years, this monastery is not only a spiritual hub but also offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Spiti Valley.

From here, the trail ascends towards Kibber, one of the highest permanently inhabited villages in the world. The trek winds through rugged cliffs and river gorges, providing glimpses of Himalayan wildlife such as the elusive snow leopard and blue sheep. Upon reaching Kibber, travelers settle into a traditional homestay, enjoying a warm, home-cooked meal and stories of Spitian folklore.

Day 3: Trek to Hikkim & Komic – The World’s Highest Villages
The morning begins with an invigorating ascent towards Hikkim, home to the world’s highest post office at an elevation of 4,400 meters. Trekkers get the unique experience of sending postcards from this remote village, a true once-in-a-lifetime moment.

The journey continues to Komic, the highest motorable village in the world. The terrain becomes more challenging as you gain altitude, but the sight of the Tangyud Monastery against the backdrop of towering peaks makes it all worthwhile. After a well-deserved rest, the evening is spent interacting with locals, learning about their simple yet resilient way of life in the harsh Himalayan environment.

Day 4: Trek to Langza – Fossil Hunting in the Himalayas
The trek to Langza is a mesmerizing experience as the landscape transforms into an ancient seabed, dotted with marine fossils that are millions of years old. The village is dominated by a giant Buddha statue, symbolizing protection and serenity.

Trekkers get the opportunity to explore the fossil fields, uncovering remnants of Spiti’s prehistoric past. With snow-capped peaks in the distance, Langza offers a surreal camping experience under a vast Himalayan sky. The night is spent sharing travel stories around a bonfire, with the crisp mountain air adding to the adventure.

Day 5: Trek to Dhankar – The Hanging Monastery of Spiti
The journey takes an adventurous turn as the trek descends into the valley before climbing back up to Dhankar, an ancient monastery that seems to defy gravity, precariously perched on a cliffside.

Dhankar was once the capital of Spiti, and its monastery offers incredible views of the confluence of the Spiti and Pin Rivers. Those looking for an extra challenge can take an additional short trek to Dhankar Lake, a hidden gem surrounded by dramatic mountain landscapes. After a day of spiritual exploration, the night is spent in a cozy village homestay, where trekkers experience authentic Spitian hospitality.

Day 6: Trek to Pin Valley – Into the Snow Leopard’s Domain
Leaving Dhankar behind, the trail ventures into the lush green meadows of Pin Valley National Park, a stark contrast to Spiti’s barren landscapes. This region is a high-altitude wildlife sanctuary, home to the rare snow leopard, ibex, and Himalayan fox.

The trek to Mudh Village, the last inhabited settlement in Pin Valley, is both scenic and adventurous. Trekkers cross wooden bridges over glacial rivers, pass through untouched landscapes, and witness the beauty of the Himalayas in its rawest form. The day ends with a warm meal in a traditional mud-house, as the crisp mountain air fills the night.

Day 7: Trek to Chandratal – The Moon Lake Adventure
The most awaited day of the trek begins with a drive to the mighty Kunzum Pass (4,551 meters), followed by a breathtaking trek to Chandratal Lake, also known as the “Moon Lake” due to its crescent shape.

The final stretch of the trek leads to the pristine waters of Chandratal, where trekkers are rewarded with awe-inspiring reflections of the Himalayas in the crystal-clear lake. The night is spent in luxury camps, surrounded by the surreal beauty of the high-altitude desert. The silence of the valley, interrupted only by the whispering winds, makes for an unforgettable night under a sky filled with a million stars.

Day 8: Return Journey – Bidding Farewell to Spiti
As the sun rises over Chandratal, trekkers bid farewell to Spiti Valley, carrying memories of an adventure that few dare to undertake. The journey back follows the rugged Batal-Gramphu-Manali route, passing through challenging mountain roads and Rohtang Pass, where the lush greenery of Kullu Valley offers a stark contrast to Spiti’s barren beauty.

The adventure concludes as travelers arrive in Manali, where a comfortable stay awaits before departing for their onward journey. With hearts full of memories and cameras full of breathtaking shots, trekkers leave with an unforgettable experience of the Spiti Valley Trekking Expedition.
