Overview
Spiti Backpacking Trips is truly paradise personified. The whole Valley is a blend of surreal landscapes seemingly spreading to a vast expanse until one can’t tell where the land ends and the sky full of ivory clouds begins. What makes the Spiti Backpacking Trip perfect is that you get to experience Spiti the way it’s meant to be experienced, on a surreal journey through mystifying landscapes and blissful monasteries. There is a reason why a Spiti Backpacking Trip is on every traveler's bucket list and it’s not just because of its mesmerizing natural beauty but also because of the serenity the valley provides, the monasteries that have been there for thousands of years, and of course the wonderful people who make you feel at home with their amazing hospitality.
It’s no secret that the best route for Spiti Backpacking Trip is via Shimla because the route stays open throughout the year and only closes if there is heavy snowfall. Apart from that, you get to glimpse the beautiful valleys and meadows en route while driving on the Hindustan-Tibet highway which is an amazing experience on its own. Not to mention that the gradual ascend towards the higher altitude through this road makes your body adapt to the conditions easily and with comfort. As we move more toward Kalpa, you will start getting mesmerized by the views. En route, the town of Reckong Peo will beckon you closer with its apple orchards and picturesque backdrop of the Great Himalayan ranges. Once we reach Kalpa, the heavenly landscape of the Kinnaur Kailash peaks, the Sutlej river flowing through the gorges, and the patches of Chilgoza forests make your heads turn in delight. Kalpa is known for its breathtaking views but it’s also popular for the 3000-year-old Kalpa Monastery and the suicide point, named so because of the narrow roads with a rugged mountain on one side and a cliff on the other side. The suicide point also serves as a vantage point for a panoramic view of the Kinnaur ranges. However being on such a high road with no support, does make your heart beat ten times faster and the rush of adrenaline mixed with the soothing view is surely an experience that not many people are lucky enough to have. The trail to our next spot has the village of Khab as the perfect halt. The village serves as the union site between the Sutlej and Spiti rivers and once you reach here, you won’t be able to leave it behind without carrying some part of it with you in your heart.
On our way to our next stop, we will be visiting some of the monasteries in Spiti which serves as the foundation of the decade-old heritage and culture of the valley. The Tabo Monastery situated on the bank of the Spiti river is the oldest monastery, dating back to 996C.E. The wooden structures and thangka paintings that one can find inside the monastery have faded over time but still grace the monastery with their significance. A national historic treasure, the monastery is protected by the ASI. Originally built as a fort on the Central Tibetan pattern and overlooking the union of the Spiti and Pin rivers, The Dhankar monastery has aspects that date back to the 12th century. Upon reaching Kaza, we will finally be able to immerse ourselves in the pleasant aura of Spiti Valley in Summers. We will take you to all the best places in Spiti during our sightseeing tour and make sure that you take some essence of Spiti with you when you go back. Firstly, we will be visiting Kye Gompa, more commonly known as the Key Monastery which sits proudly on top of a hill at an altitude of 13,668 ft. It is not only the oldest as well as the largest monastery in Spiti valley but also serves as the training center for the Lamas. The walls of the monasteries are covered with colorful murals and paintings. There are also collections of books, murals, and even images of Buddha that the monastery has safely preserved. The highest bridge in Asia and another popular attraction of Spiti Valley is the Chicham bridge which provides a view of a deep gorge running through the steep valley under it. Another tiny hamlet and easily one of the most beautiful villages of Spiti is Komic. A tiny hamlet where life slows down as if to take all the weight off of your shoulders. The highest post office in the world, from where you can send letters to your loved ones is Hikkim, and one of the many reasons why people visit this one spot is because of the nostalgia and old-school charm attached to it.
Last but not least, we will take you to the land of fossils, Langza which perhaps wouldn’t be the hotspot of eager travelers exploring the hidden gems of Spiti if not for the tall Buddha statue that sits atop a hill, seemingly overlooking the village to protect it, as the locals believe. Summers are the best time to visit Spiti Valley because it’s only when the valley is covered in a tapestry of colors, do you get to witness its magic in all its glory. The experience of a Spiti Valley Backpacking Trip is unmatched which is why the best time to visit Spiti is April-October.

Everything you need to know about Spiti
A piece of poetry, a piece of heaven,
A piece of serenity and solitude;
That is the Spiti Valley…
A road trip to Spiti Valley, whether it’s summer or winter, is a dream of every traveler. And why is that a dream? It proudly showcases some of the most isolated vistas on the planet, as well as some of the highest settlements in the world.
As you step into Spiti Valley, you are greeted by long, winding roads and valleys that offer breathtaking views of the cold desert and snow-capped mountains. Surrounded by the mighty Himalayas, Spiti Valley in Himachal Pradesh sits at an altitude of 12,500 feet above sea level, receiving only about 250 days of sunshine annually, making it one of the chilliest places in the nation.
The name "Spiti" translates to 'The Middle Land', signifying its location between India and Tibet. This region is adorned with numerous ancient monasteries, including the magnificent Key Monastery, which is over a millennium old and stands as the largest monastery in Spiti Valley.
Spiti, with its sparse population, is a haven for adventure enthusiasts, offering a plethora of trekking routes and mountain passes to explore. Kunzum La provides a mesmerizing 360-degree vista of the Bara-Shigri Glacier, the world's second-longest glacier. Another enchanting destination is Chandratal Lake, where the water transforms from reddish hues to shades of orange, blue, and emerald green as dusk approaches. Due to heavy snowfall isolating Spiti from the rest of the country for approximately six months each year, the summer season remains the sole period when Spiti is directly accessible by road.
Spiti Valley stands as a focal point for both academic research and spiritual exploration for followers of Buddhism, attracting travelers with its distinctive offerings. One of its standout features is the Key Monastery, recognized as one of the oldest monasteries in the world and a personal favorite of the Dalai Lama. Whether your interests lie in spirituality, history, or the cinematic charm of Spiti, these packages can ensure that your trip is both pleasurable and enriching.
Spiti will make you understand the value of little things in life, the moments when we become ourselves, the moments that we will chase and find the inner child we lost, a valley that will heal you for things that no one ever asked sorry for.
And in every letter, it is true… SPITI VALLEY IS A WORLD WITHIN A WORLD
A world of simplicity and a world of togetherness…
Here is everything you need to know about Spiti Valley….
How to Reach Spiti Valley
To reach Spiti Valley in summer and winter, you have two main routes to consider. In summer, you can access Spiti Valley from both Manali and Shimla. However, during winter, due to heavy snowfall, the Rohtang pass is closed, making the Shimla route the only option to reach Spiti Valley. The Shimla route is preferred in winter as it allows for a gradual gain in altitude, reducing the risk of altitude sickness.
Summer Spiti Valley: During the summer months, Spiti Valley offers a mesmerizing experience with its lush green landscapes and pleasant weather. Travelers can access Spiti Valley from both Manali and Shimla, with the Manali route being a popular choice. This route provides stunning views and passes through attractions like Kullu Valley, making the journey a scenic delight for adventurers seeking a summer escape.
Winter Spiti Valley: In contrast, winter in Spiti Valley transforms the region into a snowy wonderland, offering a unique and challenging adventure. The winter route to Spiti Valley from Shimla via Kinnaur is preferred due to the closure of the Manali route during winter. This itinerary spans over 9-10 days, allowing travelers to explore destinations like Tabo, Kaza, and Nako, providing a glimpse into the raw beauty of Spiti Valley amidst the winter snowscapes.

Summer Spiti Valley: The Spiti Valley in summer, from June to late September, transforms into a scenic paradise with unending meadows, sparkling blue streams, and clear skies. The valley comes alive with a green tapestry, pleasant temperatures ranging from 15 – 20ºC, and blooming flowers everywhere.

I booked my first community trip with Justwravel and it was my best trip so far. I went on the Spiti Valley all girls trip. The accommodations and transport were very good. Everything was on time and I have no complains on the arrangements. We covered all the places according to the itinerary.
Our trip captain Saurav Rawat was amazing. He handled all the situations perfectly and made sure we were safe and comfortable at all times. He connected with us instantly and made us feel at home. I had the best time for the entire 10 days. Special thanks to Mani Bhayya for taking us safely to all the places and making sure we have an amazing time in the tempo while travelling.
I definitely recommend everyone to try Justwravel and I am looking forward to many more trips with them!!

An Unforgettable Adventure from Delhi to Manali to Leh to Srinagar with JustWravel !
I recently embarked on an incredible and my dream journey with JustWravel , covering the breathtaking route from Delhi to Manali to Leh and finally to Srinagar. This expedition was nothing short of a lifetime adventure, and I can't express how grateful I am for the experience.
From the very beginning, JustWravel's professionalism and attention to detail were evident. The trip leads Geetanjali, Ashish and Shashank were not only knowledgeable about the areas we were visiting, but their passion for the landscapes and cultures was truly infectious. It added a unique layer of insight to the trip that I hadn't expected. Geetanjali was always energetic,supportive,caring and made our journey joyful throughout.
The journey from Delhi to Manali was scenic but a challenging drive due to the recent climatic conditions but Justwravel ensured our safety first and such dramatic journey set the tone for the rest of the adventure.
The real adventure began as we ventured into the high altitudes of Leh. The road to Leh is not for the faint of heart, but the skilled drivers and support staff ensured our safety at every step. The stark beauty of Leh and the surrounding areas was unlike anything I've ever seen. The monasteries, the serene Pangong Lake, and the Nubra Valley offered postcard-perfect views at every turn. JustWravel's planning and seamless execution allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the local culture while embracing the challenges of the terrain. Leh's picturesque landscapes and vibrant local markets were a treat to explore. The accommodations provided were comfortable and in line with the rustic charm of the area.
As we made our way to Srinagar, the transition from the mountainous desert to the lush valleys was remarkable. Srinagar's houseboats and the Dal Lake experience were the perfect culmination of this diverse journey.
One of the standout aspects of the tour was the camaraderie that developed among the fellow travelers. The small group size in the traveler encouraged bonding, and we shared unforgettable moments while conquering high passes, navigating winding roads, and marveling at the changing landscapes.
JustWravel's commitment to responsible tourism was evident throughout the trip. They emphasized leaving no trace, respecting local customs, and supporting the communities we visited. This approach made the journey even more meaningful, knowing we were contributing positively to the places we explored.
In conclusion, the Delhi-Manali-Leh-Srinagar expedition with JustWravel was an absolute masterpiece of travel. It combined the thrill of adventure with cultural enrichment in a way that only seasoned professionals could achieve. If you're seeking an unforgettable journey that spans a variety of landscapes, cultures, and experiences, I wholeheartedly recommend trusting JustWravel to make your travel dreams a reality. This trip has left an indelible mark on my soul, and I'm already planning my next adventure with them! ??

I recently did a trip to Leh Ladakh with JustWravel team, and boy, was it an experience for a lifetime! The trip leaders - Geetanjali, Ashish, Shashank - took such good care of the travellers. The team's thoughtfulness and local experience really shone through in the way the itinerary was planned. Plenty of photo opportunities, and daily briefings to prepare us for the unfamiliar climate and terrains of Ladakh. We had sufficient time for rest & recuperation and the accommodations provided were the best-possible, given the environmental conditions in that particular region. Really glad I did this trip solo and chose to go ahead with JustWravel's expertise. All we had to do was show up and the team ensured that we would have a great time - exploring the destinations and clicking away pictures of the beautiful mountains, valleys & lakes. Special shoutout to Geetanjali who really helped keep the spirits high and thanks to her, a group of strangers just felt like long-lost friends. Truly a memorable trip!

The Kashmir Great Lake Trek with Just Wravel was an absolute dream come true. Words can't fully capture the emotions I felt while exploring the mesmerizing landscapes and immersing myself in the local culture. This journey touched my heart in ways I never expected, and I'm forever grateful to Just Wravel for creating such a profoundly moving experience. It's not just a trek; it's a piece of my soul forever embedded in those majestic mountains and serene lakes.

Went for 11D/10N Ladakh Trip with Just Wravel.
Had amazing time with a great bunch of people, who were complete strangers at the beginning of the trip. Just Wravel has a well curated itinerary that covers all important sights but also leaves enough time for personal relaxation/exploration. Our Trip leaders: sashang and abhishek ashish were helpful and available throughout the duration of trip. Safety of Bikers was ensured, through the entire duration of trip. Food and Accomodation were great as well. Would strongly recommend Just wravel for anyone planning a trip to Ladakh.

It was by chance I came across JustWravel and there was something about it that made me go for it. So I took the chance and booked my first ever group trip to Leh Ladakh with them only to have an amazing experience that I am sure I wouldn�t have been able to managed on my own. The seamless organization and smooth execution of entire trip made it truly memorable. From start to finish, the they ensured that everything was well-planned and efficiently managed. Their attention to detail and commitment to providing a great travel experience is highly commendable. Special thanks to Manjunath for always looking out for everyone in the group!

I went to the Valley of Flowers trek with Justwravel in July, and it was one of the best experiences of my life. It was my first ever proper trek, so I was a bit nervous. But the team kept me comfortable all the time and I had so much fun. Would definitely travel with them again on other treks!
Preethi Dalia
It was a great trip in Bali with justwravel and our tour guide "Parth".
I had a wonderful time with the group. Created lots of memories to cherish for lifetime.
All the pickups were done on time. The itinerary was also well planned.
Parth ensured that every one in the group feels comfortable. He always fixed issues quickly whether they were due to travel or food. Also we got a good photographer as a bonus as our tour guide.
Thank you JustWravel for making this a memorable trip.
Best Wishes,

Just when I wanted a break, not actually a break rather an experience, JustWravel popped up in my Google Search, that too with options like backpacking grps, all girls with pick up and drop location at Delhi, so I booked the All Girls Spiti Valley Trip (01/07/2023) with JustWravel.Our entire trip went very smooth until the last day in Manali (09/07/2023) when Himachal was hit by the Natural Calamity. By God's grace our entire group was very much safe in Manali.
The agency handled our extended stays (3days) in Manali hotel, including meals, travel and everything. Our trip leader Mehek Mahajan kept us always updated and was always there to support us in every way plausible. She even suggested to book tickets from Chandigarh as Delhi was flooded too, most of us did that and reached home safely.
Inspite all these, the journey to Spiti Valley was indelible. And one thing is for sure, next time if I get to travel I'll again choose JustWravel.
Alisha Mullick
I had the most amazing trip experience to kashmir under the leadership of Omer.
Traveling with him was an absolute pleasure. His warm and friendly personality created a positive and inclusive atmosphere among the group. His extensive knowledge and love for the local culture added a special touch to our journey. He was always available to answer questions, address concerns, and provide valuable insights about the destinations we visited.
Thank you, Omer for making this an unforgettable experience.
I highly recommend anyone to travel under his guidance looking for a memorable and expertly organized travel experience.

Overview
Spiti Backpacking Trips is truly paradise personified. The whole Valley is a blend of surreal landscapes seemingly spreading to a vast expanse until one can’t tell where the land ends and the sky full of ivory clouds begins. What makes the Spiti Backpacking Trip perfect is that you get to experience Spiti the way it’s meant to be experienced, on a surreal journey through mystifying landscapes and blissful monasteries. There is a reason why a Spiti Backpacking Trip is on every traveler's bucket list and it’s not just because of its mesmerizing natural beauty but also because of the serenity the valley provides, the monasteries that have been there for thousands of years, and of course the wonderful people who make you feel at home with their amazing hospitality.
It’s no secret that the best route for Spiti Backpacking Trip is via Shimla because the route stays open throughout the year and only closes if there is heavy snowfall. Apart from that, you get to glimpse the beautiful valleys and meadows en route while driving on the Hindustan-Tibet highway which is an amazing experience on its own. Not to mention that the gradual ascend towards the higher altitude through this road makes your body adapt to the conditions easily and with comfort. As we move more toward Kalpa, you will start getting mesmerized by the views. En route, the town of Reckong Peo will beckon you closer with its apple orchards and picturesque backdrop of the Great Himalayan ranges. Once we reach Kalpa, the heavenly landscape of the Kinnaur Kailash peaks, the Sutlej river flowing through the gorges, and the patches of Chilgoza forests make your heads turn in delight. Kalpa is known for its breathtaking views but it’s also popular for the 3000-year-old Kalpa Monastery and the suicide point, named so because of the narrow roads with a rugged mountain on one side and a cliff on the other side. The suicide point also serves as a vantage point for a panoramic view of the Kinnaur ranges. However being on such a high road with no support, does make your heart beat ten times faster and the rush of adrenaline mixed with the soothing view is surely an experience that not many people are lucky enough to have. The trail to our next spot has the village of Khab as the perfect halt. The village serves as the union site between the Sutlej and Spiti rivers and once you reach here, you won’t be able to leave it behind without carrying some part of it with you in your heart.
On our way to our next stop, we will be visiting some of the monasteries in Spiti which serves as the foundation of the decade-old heritage and culture of the valley. The Tabo Monastery situated on the bank of the Spiti river is the oldest monastery, dating back to 996C.E. The wooden structures and thangka paintings that one can find inside the monastery have faded over time but still grace the monastery with their significance. A national historic treasure, the monastery is protected by the ASI. Originally built as a fort on the Central Tibetan pattern and overlooking the union of the Spiti and Pin rivers, The Dhankar monastery has aspects that date back to the 12th century. Upon reaching Kaza, we will finally be able to immerse ourselves in the pleasant aura of Spiti Valley in Summers. We will take you to all the best places in Spiti during our sightseeing tour and make sure that you take some essence of Spiti with you when you go back. Firstly, we will be visiting Kye Gompa, more commonly known as the Key Monastery which sits proudly on top of a hill at an altitude of 13,668 ft. It is not only the oldest as well as the largest monastery in Spiti valley but also serves as the training center for the Lamas. The walls of the monasteries are covered with colorful murals and paintings. There are also collections of books, murals, and even images of Buddha that the monastery has safely preserved. The highest bridge in Asia and another popular attraction of Spiti Valley is the Chicham bridge which provides a view of a deep gorge running through the steep valley under it. Another tiny hamlet and easily one of the most beautiful villages of Spiti is Komic. A tiny hamlet where life slows down as if to take all the weight off of your shoulders. The highest post office in the world, from where you can send letters to your loved ones is Hikkim, and one of the many reasons why people visit this one spot is because of the nostalgia and old-school charm attached to it.
Last but not least, we will take you to the land of fossils, Langza which perhaps wouldn’t be the hotspot of eager travelers exploring the hidden gems of Spiti if not for the tall Buddha statue that sits atop a hill, seemingly overlooking the village to protect it, as the locals believe. Summers are the best time to visit Spiti Valley because it’s only when the valley is covered in a tapestry of colors, do you get to witness its magic in all its glory. The experience of a Spiti Valley Backpacking Trip is unmatched which is why the best time to visit Spiti is April-October.

Everything you need to know about Spiti
A piece of poetry, a piece of heaven,
A piece of serenity and solitude;
That is the Spiti Valley…
A road trip to Spiti Valley, whether it’s summer or winter, is a dream of every traveler. And why is that a dream? It proudly showcases some of the most isolated vistas on the planet, as well as some of the highest settlements in the world.
As you step into Spiti Valley, you are greeted by long, winding roads and valleys that offer breathtaking views of the cold desert and snow-capped mountains. Surrounded by the mighty Himalayas, Spiti Valley in Himachal Pradesh sits at an altitude of 12,500 feet above sea level, receiving only about 250 days of sunshine annually, making it one of the chilliest places in the nation.
The name "Spiti" translates to 'The Middle Land', signifying its location between India and Tibet. This region is adorned with numerous ancient monasteries, including the magnificent Key Monastery, which is over a millennium old and stands as the largest monastery in Spiti Valley.
Spiti, with its sparse population, is a haven for adventure enthusiasts, offering a plethora of trekking routes and mountain passes to explore. Kunzum La provides a mesmerizing 360-degree vista of the Bara-Shigri Glacier, the world's second-longest glacier. Another enchanting destination is Chandratal Lake, where the water transforms from reddish hues to shades of orange, blue, and emerald green as dusk approaches. Due to heavy snowfall isolating Spiti from the rest of the country for approximately six months each year, the summer season remains the sole period when Spiti is directly accessible by road.
Spiti Valley stands as a focal point for both academic research and spiritual exploration for followers of Buddhism, attracting travelers with its distinctive offerings. One of its standout features is the Key Monastery, recognized as one of the oldest monasteries in the world and a personal favorite of the Dalai Lama. Whether your interests lie in spirituality, history, or the cinematic charm of Spiti, these packages can ensure that your trip is both pleasurable and enriching.
Spiti will make you understand the value of little things in life, the moments when we become ourselves, the moments that we will chase and find the inner child we lost, a valley that will heal you for things that no one ever asked sorry for.
And in every letter, it is true… SPITI VALLEY IS A WORLD WITHIN A WORLD
A world of simplicity and a world of togetherness…
Here is everything you need to know about Spiti Valley….
How to Reach Spiti Valley
To reach Spiti Valley in summer and winter, you have two main routes to consider. In summer, you can access Spiti Valley from both Manali and Shimla. However, during winter, due to heavy snowfall, the Rohtang pass is closed, making the Shimla route the only option to reach Spiti Valley. The Shimla route is preferred in winter as it allows for a gradual gain in altitude, reducing the risk of altitude sickness.
Summer Spiti Valley: During the summer months, Spiti Valley offers a mesmerizing experience with its lush green landscapes and pleasant weather. Travelers can access Spiti Valley from both Manali and Shimla, with the Manali route being a popular choice. This route provides stunning views and passes through attractions like Kullu Valley, making the journey a scenic delight for adventurers seeking a summer escape.
Winter Spiti Valley: In contrast, winter in Spiti Valley transforms the region into a snowy wonderland, offering a unique and challenging adventure. The winter route to Spiti Valley from Shimla via Kinnaur is preferred due to the closure of the Manali route during winter. This itinerary spans over 9-10 days, allowing travelers to explore destinations like Tabo, Kaza, and Nako, providing a glimpse into the raw beauty of Spiti Valley amidst the winter snowscapes.
Best Time to Visit Spiti Valley
The best time to visit Spiti Valley depends on what you want to experience from Spiti Valley. Spiti Valley is a color-changing canvas that will give you different experiences in each season.

An Unforgettable Adventure from Delhi to Manali to Leh to Srinagar with JustWravel !
I recently embarked on an incredible and my dream journey with JustWravel , covering the breathtaking route from Delhi to Manali to Leh and finally to Srinagar. This expedition was nothing short of a lifetime adventure, and I can't express how grateful I am for the experience.
From the very beginning, JustWravel's professionalism and attention to detail were evident. The trip leads Geetanjali, Ashish and Shashank were not only knowledgeable about the areas we were visiting, but their passion for the landscapes and cultures was truly infectious. It added a unique layer of insight to the trip that I hadn't expected. Geetanjali was always energetic,supportive,caring and made our journey joyful throughout.
The journey from Delhi to Manali was scenic but a challenging drive due to the recent climatic conditions but Justwravel ensured our safety first and such dramatic journey set the tone for the rest of the adventure.
The real adventure began as we ventured into the high altitudes of Leh. The road to Leh is not for the faint of heart, but the skilled drivers and support staff ensured our safety at every step. The stark beauty of Leh and the surrounding areas was unlike anything I've ever seen. The monasteries, the serene Pangong Lake, and the Nubra Valley offered postcard-perfect views at every turn. JustWravel's planning and seamless execution allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the local culture while embracing the challenges of the terrain. Leh's picturesque landscapes and vibrant local markets were a treat to explore. The accommodations provided were comfortable and in line with the rustic charm of the area.
As we made our way to Srinagar, the transition from the mountainous desert to the lush valleys was remarkable. Srinagar's houseboats and the Dal Lake experience were the perfect culmination of this diverse journey.
One of the standout aspects of the tour was the camaraderie that developed among the fellow travelers. The small group size in the traveler encouraged bonding, and we shared unforgettable moments while conquering high passes, navigating winding roads, and marveling at the changing landscapes.
JustWravel's commitment to responsible tourism was evident throughout the trip. They emphasized leaving no trace, respecting local customs, and supporting the communities we visited. This approach made the journey even more meaningful, knowing we were contributing positively to the places we explored.
In conclusion, the Delhi-Manali-Leh-Srinagar expedition with JustWravel was an absolute masterpiece of travel. It combined the thrill of adventure with cultural enrichment in a way that only seasoned professionals could achieve. If you're seeking an unforgettable journey that spans a variety of landscapes, cultures, and experiences, I wholeheartedly recommend trusting JustWravel to make your travel dreams a reality. This trip has left an indelible mark on my soul, and I'm already planning my next adventure with them! ??

I recently did a trip to Leh Ladakh with JustWravel team, and boy, was it an experience for a lifetime! The trip leaders - Geetanjali, Ashish, Shashank - took such good care of the travellers. The team's thoughtfulness and local experience really shone through in the way the itinerary was planned. Plenty of photo opportunities, and daily briefings to prepare us for the unfamiliar climate and terrains of Ladakh. We had sufficient time for rest & recuperation and the accommodations provided were the best-possible, given the environmental conditions in that particular region. Really glad I did this trip solo and chose to go ahead with JustWravel's expertise. All we had to do was show up and the team ensured that we would have a great time - exploring the destinations and clicking away pictures of the beautiful mountains, valleys & lakes. Special shoutout to Geetanjali who really helped keep the spirits high and thanks to her, a group of strangers just felt like long-lost friends. Truly a memorable trip!

The Kashmir Great Lake Trek with Just Wravel was an absolute dream come true. Words can't fully capture the emotions I felt while exploring the mesmerizing landscapes and immersing myself in the local culture. This journey touched my heart in ways I never expected, and I'm forever grateful to Just Wravel for creating such a profoundly moving experience. It's not just a trek; it's a piece of my soul forever embedded in those majestic mountains and serene lakes.

Apeksha Godre
Went for 11D/10N Ladakh Trip with Just Wravel.
Had amazing time with a great bunch of people, who were complete strangers at the beginning of the trip. Just Wravel has a well curated itinerary that covers all important sights but also leaves enough time for personal relaxation/exploration. Our Trip leaders: sashang and abhishek ashish were helpful and available throughout the duration of trip. Safety of Bikers was ensured, through the entire duration of trip. Food and Accomodation were great as well. Would strongly recommend Just wravel for anyone planning a trip to Ladakh.
Hemang Pandya
It was by chance I came across JustWravel and there was something about it that made me go for it. So I took the chance and booked my first ever group trip to Leh Ladakh with them only to have an amazing experience that I am sure I wouldn�t have been able to managed on my own. The seamless organization and smooth execution of entire trip made it truly memorable. From start to finish, the they ensured that everything was well-planned and efficiently managed. Their attention to detail and commitment to providing a great travel experience is highly commendable. Special thanks to Manjunath for always looking out for everyone in the group!
Swasti Mehta
I went to the Valley of Flowers trek with Justwravel in July, and it was one of the best experiences of my life. It was my first ever proper trek, so I was a bit nervous. But the team kept me comfortable all the time and I had so much fun. Would definitely travel with them again on other treks!
Preethi Dalia
It was a great trip in Bali with justwravel and our tour guide "Parth".
I had a wonderful time with the group. Created lots of memories to cherish for lifetime.
All the pickups were done on time. The itinerary was also well planned.
Parth ensured that every one in the group feels comfortable. He always fixed issues quickly whether they were due to travel or food. Also we got a good photographer as a bonus as our tour guide.
Thank you JustWravel for making this a memorable trip.
Best Wishes,

Just when I wanted a break, not actually a break rather an experience, JustWravel popped up in my Google Search, that too with options like backpacking grps, all girls with pick up and drop location at Delhi, so I booked the All Girls Spiti Valley Trip (01/07/2023) with JustWravel.Our entire trip went very smooth until the last day in Manali (09/07/2023) when Himachal was hit by the Natural Calamity. By God's grace our entire group was very much safe in Manali.
The agency handled our extended stays (3days) in Manali hotel, including meals, travel and everything. Our trip leader Mehek Mahajan kept us always updated and was always there to support us in every way plausible. She even suggested to book tickets from Chandigarh as Delhi was flooded too, most of us did that and reached home safely.
Inspite all these, the journey to Spiti Valley was indelible. And one thing is for sure, next time if I get to travel I'll again choose JustWravel.
Alisha Mullick
I had the most amazing trip experience to kashmir under the leadership of Omer.
Traveling with him was an absolute pleasure. His warm and friendly personality created a positive and inclusive atmosphere among the group. His extensive knowledge and love for the local culture added a special touch to our journey. He was always available to answer questions, address concerns, and provide valuable insights about the destinations we visited.
Thank you, Omer for making this an unforgettable experience.
I highly recommend anyone to travel under his guidance looking for a memorable and expertly organized travel experience.
