About this activity

A winter road trip to Spiti Valley from Shimla offers a breathtaking journey through some of the most remote and stunning landscapes in the Indian Himalayas. The route, typically open during winter via the Shimla-Kinnaur-Spiti axis, allows travelers to experience the raw beauty of snow-clad mountains, frozen rivers, and desolate high-altitude deserts. Passing through charming villages like Kalpa, Nako, and Tabo, you’ll encounter ancient monasteries, rugged cliffs, and panoramic views of the snow-covered valleys.

The road trip is adventurous, as icy roads and challenging conditions add to the thrill, but the serene beauty, quietude, and cultural richness of Spiti make it unforgettable. The journey culminates in Kaza, the heart of Spiti, where you can explore attractions like Key Monastery and witness life in one of the coldest inhabited regions of India. Driving through the winter months adds an extra layer of adventure, as roads may be slippery with snow and ice, and the temperature can plummet to sub-zero levels. However, the rewards are immense: Spiti’s stark beauty is enhanced by the quietude that comes with winter, as the valley receives fewer tourists during this time, offering an undisturbed connection with nature. Though the journey is challenging, with limited accommodation and basic facilities in many areas, the sense of isolation and the stunning winter landscapes make it an unforgettable road trip. Travelers are rewarded with the rare chance to see Spiti’s frozen wilderness, witness vibrant Buddhist festivals in remote monasteries, and experience the simple yet resilient lifestyle of the local people, all while traversing some of the most untouched and pristine landscapes in India.
