Overview


In this all-girls road trip to Spiti Valley, we explore “the middle land” that’s nestled between India and Tibet. For a long time, life in Spiti had been all about herding cattle, chanting the name of Buddha, and silent valleys.  However, in recent years due to Spiti valley being the embodiment of peace whilst also providing the thrill of driving on impassable roads, tourism in Spiti Valley has increased a lot.  The picturesque landscapes, rocky terrains, majestic mountains, and patches of green meadows make this place one of the most beautiful destinations in Himachal Pradesh.  The aim of curating this Spiti valley trip, especially for girls is because we believe in encouraging female solo travelers to rediscover themselves while bonding with other women who share the same passion for traveling as them.  If you're someone who has always wished to go on an all-girls backpacking trip then this trip is exactly what you need because we cover all the best places in Spiti Valley that you simply can’t miss out on.  The ever-flowing Spiti river is overlooked by highlands and Himalayan peaks. The winding roads and rocky terrains make the drive to Spiti full of thrill and adventure while in the lap of crescent moon-shaped lakes such as Chandrataal, one finds the peace of mind that they crave in metropolitan cities.  In this all-girls Spiti Valley trip, We begin our journey from Delhi and head towards Chitkul after making a brief stop at Shimla. The Hindustan-Tibet highway is arguably better because it helps your body to get acclimatized, not to mention that the view is to die for. The glimpse that this route provides of the landscape of Himachal too is one of the reasons that make this the best route to reach Spiti valley.  

 

This trip starts on a high note as the first halt in this Spiti valley road trip is Chitkul. Famous for being the last village on the Indo-Tibet border, not many people know that Chitkul also has the cleanest air in the country. As you spend some time in Chitkul, you will start to understand the slow-paced, quaint life people live in the mountains but it’s only just the beginning as we will have a long journey ahead of us that will provide you with a different outlook on life, as we unravel all the different layers of Spiti. Our next stop is Kalpa, a tiny hamlet nestled in the Sutlej river valley, known for its apple orchards. A rich history, scenic views of the Kinnaur Kailash ranges, ancient temples, monasteries, and century-old traditions are just a few things that Kalpa has to offer. We will spend some leisure time in this small village and let ourselves marvel at the wonder of nature in peace.  Before reaching our next designated stop, we will stop briefly at Nako, home to many Stupas as well as a 3000-year-old Monastery. Nestled in the heart of the trans-Himalayan ranges, every nook and corner of Nako overflows with peace and even spending a few moments by the Nako lake and paying reverence to the Nako Monastery will leave a lasting impression on you. Kaza, overlooked by high mountain ridges, with the Spiti river running from North to South, is the binding link between different districts and valleys. It connects Spiti to Lahaul as well as Kinnaur valley and is one of the oldest towns in India. Kaza would be our designated stay for the time being that we spend exploring Spiti and visiting all the attractions that the valley has to offer.  

Our sightseeing tour of Spiti includes all the places that have the true essence of Spiti valley present in their walls. As most people are aware that Spiti is abode to many Monasteries, some of them dating back to the 1st Millenia. 

 

The Key Monastery, locally known as Kye Gompa situated at an altitude of 13,668 Ft is the biggest center of Buddhist learning and is the place where all the Llamas get their training from an early age. The monastery has managed to preserve not only ancient relics including the images of Buddha but is one of the strong pillars upon which the foundation of Spiti stands strong.  The next attraction of this tour, the Chicham Bridge is Asia’s highest bridge, perched upon a height of more than 13,000 feet and links the village of Chicham with Kibber. A 1000ft deep gorge called Samba Lamba Nallah runs below the bridge and is a sight to behold. It took approximately 15 years to construct this bridge but it was worth it, as it helps both locals and tourists to traverse easily.  Situated at an altitude of 14,400ft, The highest post office in the world, Hikkim, is another marvel that the Spiti valley has to offer. A functional post office with a tendency to turn every visitor into an old-school soul, a visit to Hikkim is incomplete without diving into the 90s nostalgia of writing letters to your loved ones and then dropping them in the red mailbox. A lot of travelers especially women adore this place because of its ability to make words pour out of you even if you are not expressive with them in the first place hence we make a point to not miss a visit to Hikkim on our all-girls trip to Spiti valley.  In Komic, a village popular for being the highest village in the world connected by a motorable road, you can take a stroll and experience the slow-paced life of Spiti from up close. On our way to the crescent moon-shaped lake, Chandra Taal, we make a brief pit stop at Kunzum Pass, or Kunzum La as the locals call it. The high mountain pass connects Lahaul and Spiti Valley and is a gateway to Chandratal by a 15km trek. Chandra Taal, loosely translating to Moon lake, is a pristine lake usually surrounded by flowers and wildlife in summer. The lake is surrounded by a vast expanse of green meadows which give birth to many blooming flowers during spring adding more charm to the lake's beauty. 

Last, but in no way the least, stop of ours is Langza which is home to many fossils that were once creatures of the sea, as experts believe. Langza is also known as the village of gods for its spiritual significance and the 1000-year-old Buddha statue that overlooks the village as an ever-vigilant protector of the locals. 

 

The return journey of our all-girls Spiti road trip would be no less exciting than the actual trip, for we will be traversing through Rohtang Pass and witnessing the panoramic view of the Pir Panjal ranges of the Himalayas throughout the entire drive.  The experience of Spiti Valley largely depends on the quaint villages, vibrant towns, ancient monasteries, high-altitude passes, green meadows, and more. A perfect blend of all beautiful landscapes possible is why Spiti remains on the bucket list of so many travelers and why you must go on a trip to little Tibet.  The best time to visit Spiti Valley, especially if you want to make sure to experience it in all its glory, is from the months of February to April as the entire region is covered in a thick blanket of snow.  However, if you don't want to miss out on visiting the scenic Chandratal and want to have the best of both worlds then the best time to visit Spiti Valley for you and your girl gang would be from the month of June to September.   Even if an all-girls road trip to Spiti Valley wasn’t on your bucket list before, we urge you to go on this trip because it’s an experience of a lifetime. One you must have.

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.  For most tourists, the ideal time is from March to June when the weather is pleasant, ranging from 14°C to 20°C, making it perfect for outdoor activities like trekking and sightseeing. This period also marks the opening of the Manali route in May, attracting bikers and tourists to the valley.. On the other hand, if you seek adventure and are prepared for extreme cold, winter from October to February offers a unique experience with the valley covered in snow, although temperatures can drop as low as -20°C. 

 

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. This period is ideal for exploring the entire valley as the snow has melted, making it accessible for various activities like trekking and sightseeing. A bike trip to Spiti Valley during summer is a dream for many, offering a thrilling experience on the well-paved Shimla-Spiti route amidst the rugged terrains and barren landscapes.

 

Winter Spiti Valley: Spiti Valley in winter, from late October to early March, transforms into a mesmerizing white haven draped in snow. The valley's landscape changes dramatically, offering a stark difference from the summer months. With temperatures hovering around 8 degrees during the day and dropping as low as -30 degrees, winter in Spiti Valley is a sight to behold. While accessibility may be challenging due to heavy snowfall, this season attracts adventure enthusiasts looking for 4x4 expeditions and rustic landscapes covered in snow. Traveling to Spiti Valley in winter requires careful planning and preparation due to extreme temperatures and limited facilities, making it a daring and thrilling experience for those seeking an adventurous journey amidst the winter wonderland of Spiti.

Thank you JustWravel for giving me one of my best �first group-trip� experience - All-Girls Spiti Valley trip! I was a bit nervous before the trip began, but within no time, I realised that this was the best decision I took for myself. Saurav was a really friendly and easy-going trip leader and Mani Bhai was the sweetest local guide ever, who drove us around and also developed such a lovely bond with us. Both of them took great care of the group. Felt like family! ?? Lovely stay and food arrangements - never faced an issue even once. Most memorable trip! Thankyou!

Pallavi Krishnaraj

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!!

JustWravel Review by Varshitha Gaddipati

Varshitha Gaddipati

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.

JustWravel Review by Alisha Mullick

Alisha Mullick

I recently went to Winter Spiti Valley trip with JustWravel which ended up being more as a trip with best friends. JustWravel had everything sorted for us be it transportation, safety, constant checkups, personalised care , accommodation, food and everything was super comfortable and amazing. Then it comes to the best part of this trip our trip captains - Abhishek and Ramneek He treated us like their own brother from day one and made sure all of us are having the time of our lives. They had constant checkups to ensure all of us are doing great physically. They had good knowledge about the place and shared the same with us as well. I would surely plan my next trip with JustWravel. I would like to mention an instance: I forgot my bag in the Volvo bus and there was nothing important in that bag but our captains still went out of their way to ensure that I got my bag safely.

My Kashmir winter trip with JW was an amazing experience. The trip lead Omar, the stays and food were just beyond expectation. I had a lot of fun on the trip and will definitely look forward to tripping more with JustWravel.

Just got back 😁, from a week-long 20-26th January, all-girls tour package of Manali-Kasol-Jibhi, headed by Geetanjali and Divya, as travel coordinators the trip was truly enjoyable and very memorable, especially for me as the youngest girl, at 56years I,in a group of 16 girls (20 year olds)....the team leader , geetanjali and second in command,Divya are very capable, sporty and encouraging type...they make an excellent combination and have good leadership quality..,will go ,great places in the near future....they are capable of tackling unforseen circumstances in a spirited manner,...also ,not to be forgotten , to complement ,the driving skills of Mr.Mani bhaiya, who navigated the difficult terrain and unpredictable weather conditions, very well.

December 2023 New Year - I've recently done Jaisalmer weekend trip, accomodation in Jaisalmer was absolutely superb and enjoyed the trip, special thanks to ghazifa,apoorv, easy and Sohail for making the trip amazing and memorable. June 2023 - I recently went for a Spiti valley biking trip and it was the most amazing journey and all bikes conditions were good as they were serviced and checked daily, experience i had with justwravel was more than anything i can describe in words, thanks for the team and kudos for the company for making it memorable and amazing for everyone 😄. Special thanks to kavindar for making the trip memorable and amazing.
