Spiti’s moonscapes, fossil villages and monasteries reward travellers who accept long drives and basic stays. Kaza is the hub; Key, Kibber, Hikkim, Komic and Langza form the classic loop.

A colder, quieter cousin of Ladakh

Chandratal is seasonal via Kunzum. The Shimla–Kinnaur–Spiti–Manali circuit is usually done clockwise or anti-clockwise depending on snow on Kunzum.

Altitude is real: sleep lower the first night if coming from Manali, and never rush to Komic on day one.

PP Tour runs small-group and private Spiti trips with experienced mountain drivers and oxygen support on request.
