All about the Adventure Spiti Self Drive Tour (12D/11N).
Did you know that the Upper Himachali region was once under the sea? Yes, millions of years ago the Tethys’s sea surrounded the region and is home to some of the most stunning landscapes in the world. Our Spiti self drive tour takes you through some of these spots – Chitkul, Spiti Valley, and Jibhi valley- as we ride through the gorgeous terrains across Himachal Pradesh.
The Spiti valley and surrounding regions are one of the least populated regions in India and are the gateway to the northernmost reaches of the nation. Along the northern route from Manali, the valley lies in the North-Eastern section of the Indian state Himachal Pradesh and forms part of the Lahaul and Spiti district.
Lahaul and Spiti district is surrounded by high mountain ranges. The Rohtang Pass, at 13,054 feet (3,979 m), separates Lahaul and Spiti from the Kullu Valley. Lahaul and Spiti are cut off from each other by the higher Kunzum Pass, at 15,059 feet (4,590 m).[2] A road connects the two divisions but is cut off frequently in winter and spring due to heavy snow.
The valley is likewise cut off from the north up to eight months of the year by heavy snowfalls and thick icing conditions. A southern route to India proper is periodically closed for brief periods in the winter storms of November through June, but road access is usually restored a few days after storms end via Shimla and the Sutlej in the Kinnaur district.
Lahaul and Spiti district is surrounded by high mountain ranges. The Rohtang Pass, at 13,054 feet (3,979 m), separates Lahaul and Spiti from the Kullu Valley. Lahaul and Spiti are cut off from each other by the higher Kunzum Pass, at 15,059 feet (4,590 m).
Chitkul is a village in the Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh. During winters, the place mostly remains covered with snow and the inhabitants move to lower regions of Himachal. According to a recent study by the Centre of Atmospheric Sciences at IIT Delhi, Chitkul has the cleanest air in India.

Every tour is personally delivered by both our trip leaders, who will be your tour guides and trip leaders respectively. Here is an intro to our team
Yes. In Chandigarh, we can arrange for any vehicles that you need.
We recommend vehicles that have high ground clearance and a minimum engine capacity of at least 1,200 cc. Since you will drive across off-road terrains, the car should have the capacity to take on such roads, carry the weight of passengers and luggage, etc. Ideally, something equal to or better than a mini SUV will do the job.
We encourage our guests to experience the local cuisines of the destinations we travel to. In remote areas, we might not get options for eating different cuisines.
During our Spiti self drive tour, we will ensure you get wholesome, tasty, and hygienic food wherever we go. If you are from outside India, here’s a guide to get you going.
Roads throughout Himachal Pradesh vary by region. You will be driving through a mix of highways, mountains roads with tarmac, dirt roads, snow roads, broken tarmac, and off-road stretches.
To make our tours eco-friendly, we do not encourage using packaged drinking water. We recommend that you carry your own water bottles and refill them in every hotel we stay in. However, we will keep a supply of water with us in case of emergencies.
Our Spiti self drive tour is designed to blend in homestays, hotels, camping sites, and resorts in each destination to balance comfort with the local experiences. All your accommodations will be clean, hygienic, comfortable, and safe.
While driving, we should have access to public toilets/hotel toilets. But there will instances where there are none and you will have to answer nature’s call in nature.
We carry a basic first aid box with us and encourage you to carry your own medicines as well. In case of an emergency, we take you to the closest available medical center. We would also request you to share any pre-existing medical conditions and allergies if any with us
Here is the list of all documents you will need for the trip
- Original Aadhar card
- Original driver’s license
- 10 passport size photographs
Yes, but these meetings are not necessarily in person. Before the tour, we will get in touch with you through email/phone or face to face sessions, and brief you about things like what to expect during the trip, basic ground rules, things to pack, etc.
