Where high-altitude dreams meet ancient roads.

Pack light. Not because you won’t need much—but because the mountains will fill you up.
This is not a tour. It’s a slow-motion love letter to the Himalayas, sealed with cold river wind and sent across 12,500 feet of raw, untamed earth. Over ten days, you’ll trace the forgotten path of monks and merchants—winding through the apple valleys of Kinnaur, deep into the lunar landscapes of Spiti, and out through Manali’s forested escape.
All from the comfort of a Toyota Innova. Because the road may be wild, but your ride doesn’t have to be.

Itinerary

Expand all

Day 1 : Chandigarh → Shimla

Welcome to the edge. You leave the plains behind and climb gently into the pine-scented nostalgia of Shimla. Take it slow. The Himalayas are in no rush.

Day 2: Shimla → Sangla

Meet the Baspa River. She’ll guide you through orchards and myths into the Sangla Valley—where even silence echoes with stories.

Day 3: Sangla → Chitkul → Kalpa

Chitkul, the last village before Tibet. Breathe deep. This is where maps end and magic begins. In Kalpa, the gods carved mountains and called them home.

Day 4: Kalpa → Nako → Tabo

Drive the edge of the world on NH22—known lovingly as “the world’s most dangerous road.” Enter Spiti through lunar gates. You’re in the desert now.

Day 5: Kaza → Pin Valley → Mudh

Follow snow leopards and monks into the soul of the valley. Pin is wilder, colder, quieter—and worth every turn.

Day 6: Kaza → Langza → Hikkim →Komik – Ki – Kibber → Gette

Touch the sky. Visit the world’s highest village, send a postcard from the planet’s highest post office, and sit quietly at Ki Monastery. Sometimes silence says more.

Day 7: Kaza → Dhankar → Lhalung

Climb to Dhankar Lake if your lungs allow it. Then, sleep in a 1,000-year-old village where walls are built by angels and the mountain mood changes with the sky.

Day 8: Lhalung → Kunzum La → Chandratal Lake

Cross Kunzum Pass. Camp at the moon lake. Count stars. Count blessings. Don’t count the hours.

Day 9: Chandratal → Manali

Descend through Batal and the Atal Tunnel. Civilization returns—but not unchanged.

Day 10: Naggar

Explore Naggar Castle and Roerich’s mountain muse. Waterfalls. Art. Quiet introspection. You’ve earned this.

Day 11: Naggar → Chandigarh

Back to where it all began. But you? You’re not the same anymore.
