Go Spiti- Self Driven Expedition
DATES – 17TH – 27TH MAY 2025
Duration – 10 Nights/11 Days
Spiti – Pristine Lakes, World’s Highest Villages and Beautiful Deserts
With pristine lakes and some of the worlds’ highest inhabited villages, Spiti leaves
you with picture-postcard memories of barren desert and precariously perched
monasteries set against backdrop of clear blue skies. Sparse population and
awesome driving opportunities offer a feeling of unexplored remoteness in an area
yet untouched by tourism. At incredible altitudes with stunning landscape, often
compared to Ladakh before tourists took over, Spiti makes a fantastic road-trip
destination. High altitude and rugged mountains make for a bucket list drive as you
reach an altitude of 15,000 Feet.
An ideal combination of traversing river beds, waterfalls, monasteries, warm locals,
peace, star gazing, experiencing the milky-way and driving on single track dirt-trails.
