Overview


Spiti Valley in Winters is truly paradise personified. The whole valley is covered in a thick tapestry of snow, seemingly spreading to a vast expanse until one can’t tell where the land ends and the sky full of ivory clouds begin. For snow fanatics and people who’d rather be taking a stroll under the winter sun than being huddled in blankets, Spiti is nothing less than a dream. A dream that feels more than real when the chilly breeze fills your heart with warmth from within.  What makes the Winter Spiti trip perfect is that you get to experience Spiti the way it’s meant to be experienced, with snow under your boot and mountains overlooking you in all their glory.  Although the temperature drops below - 30 degrees and heavy snow makes it almost impossible for people to transport freely, the locals are happy because the more it snows, the higher the chance for them to get more water when the cropping season begins. 

 

There is a reason why a Spiti trip in winter 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 Valley in winter 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. This real trip to Spiti Valley starts when we reach Chitkul, the last village in India which is considered to have the cleanest air in the country. It is after spending a night in this village, that will you realize how you’ve left the city life behind and the rest of the days that you spend here will be spent without any unwanted noise reaching your ears. Instead, there will only be the sound of chilly winds blowing and snow crunching underfoot.

 

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 covered with snowflakes spread out evenly will 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 which will be covered entirely in snow adding more charm to its beauty. 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. 

 

Located amidst the trans-Himalayan ranges and home to a thousand-year-old monastery and many Buddhist stupas that have stood the test of time gracefully is Nako. Overlooked by Reo Purgyal, this village is a perfect spot for those who are looking for some peace of mind. A visit to the serene Nako Lake and a chance to visit the Nako Monastery are something that you simply can’t miss out on in this Spiti Valley winter trip.  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 magic of the winter wonderland that is Spiti Valley. There will be no sign of the barren terrains or the green canopies as everything will be covered in a sheet of ivory snow and it’s only when you witness the abundance of snow everywhere, from underneath your foot to the faraway mountains you see will you finally understand, why there is no better place to see snow than Spiti valley during winters.   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. Winters are the best time to visit Spiti Valley because it’s only when the valley is covered in snow, do you get to witness its magic in all its glory. The experience of a Spiti Valley winter trip is unmatched which is why the best time to Spiti for a winter trip will be the months of November, December, and February to May.

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.

What our Clients Say About Us

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.

JustWravel Review by Sachin Shastry

Sachin Shastry

A shoutout to JustWravel and our Trip Lead Vishal for the Winter Spiti. A group of 13 strangers on a road trip to the Himalayas, Started from Shimla to Chitkul to Nako to Kaza to Kalpa. However none felt to be strangers, it was as if I was travelling with a group of close knit friends. The trip was so full of warmth even if it was to the snow desert with temperature going to negative. Padmaji's has one hell of driving skills. Vishal was an amazing leader making the trip fun filled be it day or night. To us he was that friend in the group who is well aquainted with the place and plans the end to end trip with taking proper care and responsibilities for all. Shalu aunty at Kaza, would want to travel there again just for her food and hospitality. Great Food, Great Management, Great Destination. This was my first snow trip which just ended yesterday and I am craving for another trip with JustWravel. Hopefully the same travel group.

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.
