Spiti Valley in Winter offers some of the most breathtaking views along with ancient monasteries providing you with an abundance of peace. However, with this Christmas & New Year Special Spiti Winter Expedition 4x4, we show you the rawest side of Spiti. You get to witness the magic of the winter wonderland that is Spiti as it gets covered in many layers of snow. In this Spiti Winter Expedition, we not only take you on an adventure of a lifetime but also allow you to celebrate Christmas and New Year with a blast. It is no secret that the roads of Spiti valley offer unpredictable experiences and yet there is no greater feeling than off-roading on these tough terrains.
We commence our trip from Delhi to Shimla. The route from Shimla is better when it comes to Spiti winter expeditions. One of the reasons is the landscapes but also because the gradual ascend to higher altitude will make your body acclimatize as well. Our first stop is Chitkul which is popularly known as the last village of India and has gained a lot of popularity among travelers. Our next stop on this Christmas and New year special 4x4 edition is Kalpa which is known for its picturesque landscapes. The town of Reckong Peo in Kinnaur, famous for its apple orchards and rich culture that has been preserved by the locals for years serves as the ideal pit stop. Upon reaching Kalpa, we make sure that you visit the true gems of Kalpa including the 3000-year-old Kalpa monastery and the suicide point which is named so because of the fear it induces in the heart of the travelers with its cliff and narrow roads. Not to mention that on one end, standing mighty are rugged mountains. The view from the suicide point is to die for and since during this winter expedition to Spiti valley, the entire Kinnaur ranges will be covered in snow, the landscape would be more beautiful than words can ever describe. After spending a night in Kalpa, we will head toward our next destination which is Nako. Providing the ideal pit stop is the tiny hamlet of Khab which serves as the confluence of the Sutlej and Spiti rivers. Even though it is just a stop along the way, driving through a snow-covered Khab makes it one of the best parts of this Spiti winter expedition.
Our next stop, Nako which is a tiny hamlet nestled in the heart of the trans-Himalayan ranges provides immense peace to travelers. The tiny hamlet is situated on the Indo-China Border with the serene Nako lake and the ancient Nako monastery in its embrace. Our next destination Kaza is where you will see a blend of all the glorious landscapes that Spiti Valley has to offer. The monochromatic contrast of the whiteness of the snow against the cobalt blue skies is truly breathtaking. Kaza is known for its rich culture and age-old monasteries. As well as being the heart of Spiti, it is also the commercial center of the valley and the link between the different districts. In our Spiti sightseeing tour, we'll visit the Key Monastery, The Chicham Bridge which is the highest in Asia and is situated 1000 ft above a deep gorge that flows relentlessly. Komic, which is truly one of the most beautiful villages as well as the highest village in the world connected by a motorable road. We'll also visit Hikkim which is the highest post office in the world. We save the best for the last. Langza, the fossil village serves as the last stop of our Spiti winter expedition. Located on top of a hill, is the statue of Budhha that locals believe protects them from all evil. If we were to describe this Spiti valley winter expedition, we'd say that it is your ticket to a unique getaway that is a blend of both adventure and serenity. It's an experience worth having and something that a traveler should tick off their bucket list as soon as possible. Finally, after overcoming all the bumps in the road, we will be in the center of it all, experiencing the winter wonderland that is Spiti in all its glory. Additionally, we'll be celebrating both Christmas and New Year with a groovy Music, bonfire, delicious cake and snacks dance, and more which would make the trip ten times more exciting.

We have a 2:3 female to male-ratio when it comes to travelers and often the ratio can also be 3:2.
We’ve female trip captains who have been leading groups for years skilfully and are always there to look out for other female travelers.
A female traveler, solo or otherwise has nothing to worry about.
You don’t have to do it because our exclusive Spiti Valley 4x4 expedition is specially curated around the festive season so that people can celebrate Christmas and New year in the midst of the Himalayas. Our special batch to Spiti is all-inclusive with additional perks of a DJ, Food, Complimentary snacks, cake, bonfire, and more. The trip lasts 10 days, starting on the eve of Christmas and ending two days after New Year. It covers multiple destinations along with offering travelers an opportunity to indulge in adventure activities. The additional perk is that you’d find people who you’ll build connections with, share stories with, and experience the true joy of traveling.
Apart from our usual services, you can expect to meet like-minded travelers who are as passionate about traveling as you are. A Spiti Valley 4x4 expedition is the ultimate adventure where you get to experience the true essence of off-roading in the heart of Spiti Valley and create memories with strangers who end up becoming family. A trip where you don’t have to worry about meals or accommodations because you’re too busy having fun. You can be a solo traveler or come with a bunch of friends, you’re bound to have fun.
If you're coming from Delhi, then consider the route via Shimla to be the best one as it contains the best scenic views and also helps your body get acclimatized better. The route is a bit longer which makes up for a good road trip if this factor is taken into consideration.
In our Spiti Valley 4x4 expedition, we provide the best in class accommodations, transportation in a 4x4 wheeler such as Thar, Maruti Gypsy, etc as well as surface transfer wherever possible, meals as per the itinerary, and activities as per the itinerary. Along with that, an experienced trip leader equipped with a medical kit stays with the group at all times. All kinds of permits, toll taxes, parking charges, and driver allowances are also included.
However, this package is special as our Christmas New Year Spiti 4x4 expedition is an annually organized trip that is specially curated around the Christmas and New year celebrations so that people who wish to celebrate the festive season by traveling can do so without worrying about anything. It is a 10-day trip that is inclusive of Christmas and New year celebrations with a DJ, bonfire, and good company.
If you're going by road and choosing the Shimla route from Delhi then it would take approximately 18 hours of driving for you to reach there if you don’t make many pit stops but that’s entirely up to you. Now, if you're taking the Manali route then at least 24 hours in the car, driving is required and you need to make a pit stop after reaching Manali or you'll be very much exhausted otherwise. The total distance between Lahaul Spiti and Delhi is 708 Kilometers if we go by the shortest route.
Kaza is an administrative town. So, in terms of distance, there's no proper way to measure it. But once you enter Spiti Valley, you'll soon find Kaza there after a short distance of 4-5 kilometers.
Routes to Spiti Valley are open all around the year, but there is little distinction. While the Shimla route is open all around the year, the Manali route closes for a brief time due to the closing of Kunzum Pass. Moreover, the Manali route is open from June to October.
The weather in Kaza, Himachal Pradesh, affects the oncoming tourists as it gets extremely cold during winter. But it’s good for the locals, as water is scarce, locals rely on the heavy snowfall for a resource of water and use the same when the cropping season begins. The average maximum temperature remains around 4-5 degree Celsius in Kaza, in the winter months of November and December.
The distance between Delhi and Lahaul Spiti is 712 Kilometers. There are no airports on the route that you take while traveling to Spiti. You're recommended to take flights from wherever you are coming to Delhi only. After that, you need to move on the road in a 4x4 car or tempo traveler. If you think that the distance between Delhi to Spiti valley is way too much for you in terms of a road trip then you can land in Chandigarh which is a little closer to Spiti Valley and will shorten your road trip by a couple of hours.
In the 4x4 Spiti expedition, we take things up a notch. Instead of a tempo traveler, we embark on this journey with a four-wheeler vehicle, like the Thar or Maruti Gypsy. These vehicles can overcome the hurdles that the roads of Spiti have to offer with better endurance and make the ride to Spiti even more thrilling than it is.
You get to experience the thrill of offroading on the rocky terrains and wicked mountains firsthand. Instead of traversing the roads of Spiti via tempo traveler, we embark on this road trip by 4-wheelers. Still, the best part is that this trip is specially curated around the festive season so you get to celebrate Christmas and New year in the middle land. If you’re looking for a Christmas and new year trip, where you get groovy music, delicious food, snacks, good company, and an even better view, then this is the best one.
The weather in Spiti Valley is cold throughout the year but it is comparatively colder during winter. The temperature drops to -30 degrees. There is no water running in the taps, that’s how cold it gets. But it is during the winter season, that you get to witness the true essence of Spiti when it is covered in snow.
There are two routes to reach Spiti. One is via Manali while the other is via Shimla. The Shimla route is considered to be one of the best routes to reach Spiti Valley especially when it comes to winter Spiti expeditions. The gradual ascend makes it easy for people to get acclimatized to the high altitude and weather conditions. Not to mention that the views in the backdrop of the Hindustan-Tibet Highway make it all the more worth it.
The distance between Shimla and Lahaul is 418 Kilometers and it takes about 16 hours to reach, including leisure time and the pit-stops that we make when we are on a Spiti winter 4x4 expedition.

If you're coming from Delhi, then consider the route via Shimla to be the best one as it contains the best scenic views and also helps your body get acclimatized better. The route is a bit longer which makes up for a good road trip if this factor is taken into consideration.
In our Spiti Valley 4x4 expedition, we provide the best in class accommodations, transportation in a 4x4 wheeler such as Thar, Maruti Gypsy, etc as well as surface transfer wherever possible, meals as per the itinerary, and activities as per the itinerary. Along with that, an experienced trip leader equipped with a medical kit stays with the group at all times. All kinds of permits, toll taxes, parking charges, and driver allowances are also included.
However, this package is special as our Christmas New Year Spiti 4x4 expedition is an annually organized trip that is specially curated around the Christmas and New year celebrations so that people who wish to celebrate the festive season by traveling can do so without worrying about anything. It is a 10-day trip that is inclusive of Christmas and New year celebrations with a DJ, bonfire, and good company.
If you're going by road and choosing the Shimla route from Delhi then it would take approximately 18 hours of driving for you to reach there if you don’t make many pit stops but that’s entirely up to you. Now, if you're taking the Manali route then at least 24 hours in the car, driving is required and you need to make a pit stop after reaching Manali or you'll be very much exhausted otherwise. The total distance between Lahaul Spiti and Delhi is 708 Kilometers if we go by the shortest route.
Kaza is an administrative town. So, in terms of distance, there's no proper way to measure it. But once you enter Spiti Valley, you'll soon find Kaza there after a short distance of 4-5 kilometers.
Routes to Spiti Valley are open all around the year, but there is little distinction. While the Shimla route is open all around the year, the Manali route closes for a brief time due to the closing of Kunzum Pass. Moreover, the Manali route is open from June to October.
The weather in Kaza, Himachal Pradesh, affects the oncoming tourists as it gets extremely cold during winter. But it’s good for the locals, as water is scarce, locals rely on the heavy snowfall for a resource of water and use the same when the cropping season begins. The average maximum temperature remains around 4-5 degree Celsius in Kaza, in the winter months of November and December.
The distance between Delhi and Lahaul Spiti is 712 Kilometers. There are no airports on the route that you take while traveling to Spiti. You're recommended to take flights from wherever you are coming to Delhi only. After that, you need to move on the road in a 4x4 car or tempo traveler. If you think that the distance between Delhi to Spiti valley is way too much for you in terms of a road trip then you can land in Chandigarh which is a little closer to Spiti Valley and will shorten your road trip by a couple of hours.
In the 4x4 Spiti expedition, we take things up a notch. Instead of a tempo traveler, we embark on this journey with a four-wheeler vehicle, like the Thar or Maruti Gypsy. These vehicles can overcome the hurdles that the roads of Spiti have to offer with better endurance and make the ride to Spiti even more thrilling than it is.
You get to experience the thrill of offroading on the rocky terrains and wicked mountains firsthand. Instead of traversing the roads of Spiti via tempo traveler, we embark on this road trip by 4-wheelers. Still, the best part is that this trip is specially curated around the festive season so you get to celebrate Christmas and New year in the middle land. If you’re looking for a Christmas and new year trip, where you get groovy music, delicious food, snacks, good company, and an even better view, then this is the best one.
The weather in Spiti Valley is cold throughout the year but it is comparatively colder during winter. The temperature drops to -30 degrees. There is no water running in the taps, that’s how cold it gets. But it is during the winter season, that you get to witness the true essence of Spiti when it is covered in snow.
There are two routes to reach Spiti. One is via Manali while the other is via Shimla. The Shimla route is considered to be one of the best routes to reach Spiti Valley especially when it comes to winter Spiti expeditions. The gradual ascend makes it easy for people to get acclimatized to the high altitude and weather conditions. Not to mention that the views in the backdrop of the Hindustan-Tibet Highway make it all the more worth it.
The distance between Shimla and Lahaul is 418 Kilometers and it takes about 16 hours to reach, including leisure time and the pit-stops that we make when we are on a Spiti winter 4x4 expedition.
