Overview


Overlanding Adventures is a futuristic initiative by JustWravel to make a significant change in the Travel & Tourism Industry. The need for an escape has led to travelers seeking solace in the simple joy of driving and finding their moments of peace along the journey. What we aim to provide through Overlanding Adventures is a gateway that allows one to take control and feel the power by embarking on Self Driven Expeditions. This allows one to not just feel the might of the Himalayas up close but also feel the adrenaline course through your veins along with every other emotion available to the human platter. This season, leave all your worries behind and rev up to drive on some of the most thrilling roads across India. 

When we talk about a Spiti Valley Road Trip, The Land Of Lamas, the roads are what takes precedence in the entire trip. Spiti is not just a destination but a journey of the mind and soul, from seeking peace in the tranquil ambience of the Monasteries to driving through the rugged terrains, you feel a whirlpool of emotions when embarking on a trip to Spiti Valley. 

This Spiti Valley tour package allows you to take your own beloved car for a drive across the majestic lands of Spiti and experience the extraordinary from the front seat. We do not just guide you through the route but also provide you with a hand-crafted Itinerary that keeps your safety, comfort and preferences at the top. From the most exotic and luxurious stays perfect for families, couples or groups to assuring you have a smooth drive all along, our experts are always on the go to make this a Dream Trip! 

In this Spiti Valley Tour Package, we begin our journey from Delhi at dawn and head towards the capital city of Himachal Pradesh, Shimla. On the way we cross the rural landscapes of India and gradually approach the mountains with nothing but excitement in our heart. Shimla is considered to be one of the most beautiful towns that has been a favorite destination for those looking for a quaint getaway near Delhi. We will be reaching Shimla around afternoon and heading to our stay for the day at Taj Theog, Narkanda. Narkanda is perched just a few kilometers from Shimla and becomes a paradise for skiing enthusiasts during winters. Upon reaching and after a grand welcome, we’ll indulge in hi-tea sessions and spend the rest of the evening at leisure. 

The next morning brings with it the start of a beautiful scenic drive to Sangla where we will be traversing the Karcham Dam, Kinnaur Gate and Cliff hanger section en-route. 

Upon reaching Sangla, we will check in to our hotel that is situated right by the Baspa River in Batseri Village. The night will be spent at leisure, enjoying the amazing food and views from the comfort of your room and gearing up for the next day. 

The next stop on our Spiti Road Trip Expedition is the breathtaking Kalpa which we will be heading to after a brief stop at Hindustan Ka Akhri Dhaba in Chitkul. 

Providing you with a breath of fresh air, quite literally since it has the cleanest air in the entire country, Chitkul is popular among travelers for being the last village in India. Located at the banks of the Baspa river, Chitkul is indeed the last village on the Hindustan-Tibet trade route. 

Kalpa is a small village nestled in the Sutlej river valley, close to the town of Reckong Peo where we will make a pit stop to take a closer look at the rich culture and the scenic views that captivates travelers. One is the suicide point, named so because of the cliff surrounded by rugged mountains. The view from the suicide point is definitely to die for as it’s the vantage point for the magical view of the Kinnaur valley along with the trans-Himalayan ranges. 

In its embrace, Kalpa holds an extremely special destination that is sought by many travelers which is the 3000-year-old Kalpa monastery. A cultural heritage, the monastery is the symbolic representation of the rich history and spirituality associated with Buddhism and its influence on the region of Himachal. After a picturesque drive through the valleys of Himachal, we will finally reach Kalpa in the evening and spend a cozy night in a Tibetan style Hotel.

The next morning we will traverse many highways and byways that provide scenic views of majestic mountains, cobalt blue skies, and reach Tabo. 

Along the way, we unravel the many mysteries that stay hidden in the Land of Lamas. One such hidden gem is the Nako village, a remote destination located on the Indo-Tibet border in the trans-Himalayan regions. With mystical waterfalls and lakes such as Nako lake, this tiny hamlet is a much-needed breather that you will need after being on the road for so long, driving your cars with the winds blowing on your face. 

We will also be visiting Gue Village that is home to the mummy of a revered monk Sangha Tenzin. The mummified body of this Monk was found after an earthquake blew open a tomb and was excavated in 2004. Since then it has been a point of interest for archaeologists and curious travelers as this particular mummy is strikingly different from those found in Egypt. It is said to be a natural process of preserving the body by devoiding it of any fluids and can take up to 10 years for the process to be complete. 

After a day of exploration, fun and lots of great pictures, we will head to our hotel in Tabo and spend the day at leisure. 

Waking up in the cusps of mountains, we finally make our way to the capital of Spiti Valley, Kaza. 

On our way, we would pay our respects at the Tabo Monastery &  Kungri Monastery. Built-in 1330, Kungri Monastery in Spiti's second oldest monastery and is notable for its sword dance performed by the bushes cult belonging to the village of Mudh. The monastery has also managed to preserve silk paintings depicting various Buddhist deities, along with huge statues as well as sacred Tibetan texts. 

We will also be traversing through Pin valley and Mud village which is located on the bank of Pin river with the towering Pin Parvati ranges surrounding it. The village also serves as the backdoor for the Pin valley national park where many endangered species such as the snow leopard, Ibex as well as alpine and cedar trees.

At an altitude of 11,890 Ft, situated along the banks of the Spiti river is Kaza, the core of Spiti that connects the valley to neighboring districts. Along with being the commercial center of Spiti, it also serves as the site for many vibrant festivals and fairs that are organized throughout. Kaza is also the ideal base camp for trekkers, mountaineers as well as bikers who intend to explore the valley beyond its reaches. 

This Spiti Road Trip Package is specially curated to make sure that travelers get to have a closer look at the slow-paced life in Spiti and to bridge the gap between the distinct yet similar cultures. 

Buddhist influence is omnipresent in the valley and the symbolic icon of its significance, as well as influence, stands tall in the form of the Kee Monastery, locally known as the Kye Gompa. The oldest as well as the largest monastery in Spiti where you can find murals, relics, and thangka paintings still preserved. All of them being an ode to monastic architecture. The monastery also has images of Budhha as well as a sacred text that tells the story of Buddhism and its roots. 

Other attractions that we will be exploring during our Spiti Overlanding Trip include the Chicham Bridge which is at the staggering height of 13,500ft, known as Asia’s highest bridge as well as one of the highest remote villages in Spiti where you can have the chance to stumble upon a snow leopard, as they roam the premise surrounding the village quite often. 

We will also be visiting Hikkim, the world’s highest post office, situated at an elevation of 14,400ft, from where you can send a letter to a loved one as well as enjoy the picturesque view of the valley that surrounds you. We will also visit Komic village which is the world’s highest village connected by a motorable road.

Langza, popular for its abundance of fossils as well as the 1000-year-old colorful Buddha statue is also a must-visit when on a Self Driven trip to Spiti as the experience is not only enthralling but peaceful too. 

Among other beautiful destinations, a crescent moon-shaped lake is also something that you will find only here in Spiti. The Chandra Taal, also known as the moon lake is a scenic lake where you can spend some peaceful moments as we conclude this trip and start our journey. 

In a nutshell, Spiti valley has more to offer than just lofty mountains and rugged terrains. But it’s only when you have driven on the impassable roads of Spiti during this trip will you finally discover the Spiti that we love and are positive that you will too.
