Meals

Main Highlight
A complete Kinnaur and Spiti circuit from Shimla to Manali with an added Shimla rest night before the long mountain drives begin, covering Kaza, the high villages, Kunzum Pass, and Chandratal
Best Season
June to September, subject to the opening of Kunzum Pass and the Chandratal route
Ideal For
Solo travellers, couples, friends, and first time Spiti travellers who want a more relaxed, rested start before the longer mountain drives
Know Before You Go
Chandratal and Kunzum are open only in season and depend on the weather and road. You reach them only when the road is clear and safe
You camp only at the marked camping zone near Chandratal. You walk a short way to see the lake. There is no camping right at the lake because it is protected
The Chandratal camp is small and basic. If it is full, or if the group wants more comfort like senior citizen or family groups, you stay in a hotel or guesthouse in Losar, the last village before Kunzum Pass. This is always told to you in advance, and you still visit Chandratal Lake either way
The camp night is simple. Expect basic tents, usually 3 people sharing, shared dining, and shared or limited washrooms. This is part of the fun, not a luxury stay
Room sharing can be double or triple. A single room may cost extra and depends on availability. A single tent at Chandratal may not always be possible
A dedicated trip captain travels with the bigger Social and Full batches, which are groups above 10 people. Smaller batches have a trip coordinator and the local driver
The Shimla day is a rest day. Standard hotel check in time applies, and early check in is only if a room is free, so it cannot be promised. A Shimla sightseeing vehicle and paid activities are not included
Pin Valley is on the route and you get a real taste of it, but going deep is not promised. On most group trips, time and daylight mean you see the nearer spots instead of driving far towards Mud Village. If the day goes well, the group may go deeper
Some days have long drives, mainly Shimla to Sangla, Kalpa to Tabo, and Chandratal to Manali. Start early and stay flexible. All times are rough guesses
Spiti is high up. Drink water, eat light, avoid alcohol, and listen to your trip captain or coordinator. The Kinnaur entry helps your body adjust slowly
Phone network is weak after Kaza and ATMs are not reliable. Carry enough cash
The oxygen cylinder is for emergencies and you pay only if you use it. It does not replace a doctor. If you have heart or breathing problems, check with your doctor before you book

Frequently Asked Questions

The Best Selling version drives straight towards Sangla the same morning you reach Shimla. This version adds a full rest day in Shimla first. You reach Shimla in the morning, rest and look around at your own pace, and join the main group the next morning. After that, the Spiti circuit is the same. It is the same trip with a slower, more restful start.

Had an absolutely incredible trip exploring Manali, Solang, Sethan, Khokhsar, Sissu, and Darcha, all the way up to Shinkula Pass and Shinkula Top, thanks to Travel Coffee! ​A huge shoutout to Preeti Jasyal, who helped us a lot throughout the process. She is an amazing person and went above and beyond to help us create the perfect booking. The entire service was seamless and highly effective, and the hotels she selected for us were absolutely amazing with great comfort and views. ​Driving through those massive mountain terrains can be daunting, but their flawless coordination made the entire journey stress-free. If you're planning a trip to Leh, Ladakh, Spiti, or any of these mountain regions, Travel Coffee is the way to go!

We had an amazing experience on our Spiti Valley trip organised by Travel Coffee. Everything was well organized, from the itinerary and accommodations to transportation. The entire journey was smooth and hassle-free, allowing us to truly enjoy the breathtaking beauty of Spiti. A special thanks to Preeti Jaysal and the team for their constant support before and during the trip. They were always available to help and ensured that everything went as planned.
