Spiti Valley Tour Package from Chandigarh — Complete Guide 2026

The Spiti Valley tour package from Chandigarh is one of the most sought-after Himalayan road trips in India. Spanning 9 nights and 10 days, this Spiti Valley trip takes you through the best of Himachal Pradesh — from the apple orchards of Narkanda and the last village of India at Chitkul, to the ancient monasteries of Tabo and Key, the world records of Hikkim and Komic, and finally to the ethereal Chandratal Lake camping experience at 4,300 metres.

First and foremost, our Spiti Valley tour package from Chandigarh is carefully crafted to give you the most complete high-altitude experience in India. To begin with, you enter through the scenic Shimla–Kinnaur route, which gradually acclimatises you to the altitude over the first three days. Furthermore, the itinerary covers nine unique destinations — from the last village of India at Chitkul to the ancient Tabo Monastery — so that you never feel rushed.

In addition to the cultural highlights, you also get to camp near the breathtaking Chandratal Lake and witness the Spiti Valley Milky Way night sky. Moreover, all transfers, breakfast, and dinner are included throughout the journey, which means you can focus entirely on the experience. As a result, this package is ideal not just for adventure seekers, but also for families, couples, and first-time Himalayan travellers. Finally, with group sizes ranging from 4 to 17 pax and prices starting at just ₹20,900 per person, the Spiti Valley trip is more accessible

The complete Spiti circuit covers Narkanda, Sangla, Chitkul, Kalpa, Tabo, Kaza, Chandratal and Manali.

Chandratal Lake Camping — Spiti Valley’s Crown Jewel

Called the Moon Lake for its crescent shape, Chandratal Lake at 4,300m is a Ramsar-designated wetland and one of India’s most spectacular high-altitude lakes. Our Chandratal camping package sets you up 2 km from the lake for an unforgettable night under the Spiti Valley night sky — one of the darkest skies in India and perfect for Milky Way photography.

Spiti Valley Milky Way & Night Sky

One of the biggest draws of Spiti Valley night view is the extraordinary stargazing. With zero light pollution at 4,000+ metres, the Spiti Valley Milky Way is visible with the naked eye on clear nights. Our high altitude camping Himachal Pradesh experience near Chandratal Lake puts you right under this cosmic canopy — a memory that lasts forever.

Tour's Location

FAQs

May to October is ideal. June offers fresh snow views and newly opened roads. September–October has the clearest skies — best for Chandratal stargazing and Milky Way photography. Our package runs April 5 – July 15, 2026.

Chandratal requires an Inner Line Permit and is typically accessible from mid-June onwards. Kunzum Pass typically opens in the second week of June, depending on that year's snowfall — in heavy snowfall years it may open as late as mid-June or early July.

Ideally, you need 9–10 days for the full circuit from Delhi/Chandigarh. Our package is perfectly designed at 9 Nights / 10 Days covering the complete Spiti circuit.

es, Spiti Valley is safe for families with children aged 5 and above. Take the Shimla–Kinnaur route which gains altitude gradually over 2–3 days, reducing altitude sickness risk. Senior citizens can visit if they are physically fit and take proper precautions — age alone is not the deciding factor.

The Shimla–Kinnaur–Kaza route takes you through Sangla, Chitkul, Kalpa, Nako, and Tabo before reaching Kaza — it's more gradual and ideal for first-timers and families. The Manali–Kaza route goes through the Atal Tunnel and Kunzum Pass — shorter and more adventurous. Full-circuit packages combine both, entering via Shimla and exiting through Manali.

Kaza sits at 3,800m (12,467 ft), Chandratal at 4,300m (14,108 ft), and Kunzum Pass at 4,551m (14,931 ft). The Manali to Kaza distance via Kunzum Pass is approximately 200 km / 6–8 hours.

Tempo Traveller, 4x4 SUV, or Royal Enfield motorcycles are best suited. Sedans are not recommended beyond Kalpa. Our package uses Ertiga, Innova Crysta, and Tempo Travellers depending on group size.

Individuals not used to higher elevation may be at risk of altitude sickness (AMS). Light symptoms include loss of appetite, sleep disturbance, and difficulty passing urine. Moderate symptoms include headache, irregular breathing, nausea, and mild weakness. Our itinerary is designed for gradual acclimatisation over 3 days before reaching high-altitude areas.

Carry Diamox for altitude sickness after consulting your doctor, plus antibiotics and pain relievers. Oxygen cylinders are available on request through our package.

Airtel has the best network in Spiti. BSNL works at lower altitudes. Jio has limited coverage. Expect no signal at Chandratal and at many high-altitude sites.

Withdraw cash at Shimla, Rampur, or Reckong Peo (which has 6–7 ATMs) before heading into Spiti. Keep an emergency buffer of ₹5,000–8,000 for unexpected situations like road closures or extra days. ATMs are limited in Spiti Valley, with the main town of Kaza having a few options. Carrying enough cash for your entire trip is advisable, as credit card acceptance may be limited in remote areas.

Indian citizens need no permit. Foreign nationals need a Protected Area Permit (PAP) from the Shimla or Kaza DC office. A Rohtang permit is required for vehicles entering from the Manali side — book online. ₹800 for petrol, ₹400 for diesel vehicles.

Mandatory: Government ID with name and address, Medical Certificate, and Self-Declaration Form. Photocopies of all documents are recommended.

A standard Spiti Valley package costs ₹14,999 to ₹35,000 per person depending on duration, route, and tour type. Our 9N/10D summer special starts at ₹20,900/person for a group of 17 from Chandigarh — all inclusive of stay, meals and transport.

Spiti's average trip cost is ₹15,000–₹20,000 per person vs ₹25,000–₹35,000 for Ladakh. Choose Spiti for raw remoteness, ancient monasteries, and fewer tourists. Choose Ladakh for variety, easier access, and longer itineraries.

Thermals, windproof jacket, sunscreen (SPF 50+ — UV is extremely intense at altitude), sunglasses, lip balm, trekking shoes, first aid, and Diamox (on prescription). Also carry a power bank — blackouts are frequent in villages like Langza and Losar.
