Spiti Valley Complete Loop Guide

Spiti Valley Complete Loop Guide

The Circuit of the Middle Land

Spiti isn't for everyone. It's colder, dustier, and more remote than Ladakh. But for those who seek the Raw, it is heaven.

The loop typically starts from Shimla and ends at Manali. This allows for better acclimatization as you climb gradually.

Key Stops:

  • Kalpa: Watch the Kinner Kailash range turn gold at sunrise.
  • Tabo: Explore the "Ajanta of the Himalayas" — over 1000 years old.
  • Hikkim: Send a postcard from the world's highest post office.

Planning this alone is a nightmare. Check out our Spiti Expedition for a fully supported ride with backup and local expertise.
