Spiti had been on my bucket list forever, and I couldn’t have chosen a better experience than with Just Wravel. They are incredibly professional, and a special shoutout goes to our trip captain, Rajat Thakur. He is highly knowledgeable about Spiti and kept our spirits high throughout the journey, guiding us on how to acclimatize during the entire trip. Rajat also has excellent photography skills and knows all the hidden spots. It was my birthday trip, and he made sure to help me check off items on my bucket list along the way!
I had the chance to witness the stunning Milky Way, visit Key Monastery, and spend quality time at Chandratal.
And, of course, I can’t forget our driver, Anu ji. His driving skills are top-notch, especially for the challenging terrain we were in. I felt extremely safe.
I can’t wait to go on another adventure with Just Wravel. Until then, Pani Peete Rahooo!

FAQ
Spiti Valley is a cold desert mountain nestled in the north-eastern region of Himachal Pradesh. The name Spiti itself transalates to "the middle land". Spiti is renowed as the winter wonderland because during winters the entire valley gets covered in a thick blanket of snow. It's known for it's ancient monasteries, rich tibetan culture, pristine rivers and warm hospitality.
Spiti Valley is located in the Lahaul district of the state of Himachal. There are two routes to reach Spiti Valley by road. One is via Manali while the other is via Shimla.
The Shimla route passes via Kinnaur Valley and you get to traverse the Hindustan Tibet Highway. The gradual ascend towards high altitude makes it easier for your body to get acclimatized as well. The distance from Shimla to Kaza is approx 225 Kilometers and it takes almost 9 hours for you to reach including the pit stops you might make while driving.
On the other hand, Most people prefer going on a road trip to Spiti Valley from Manali as the route is shorter and also gives ample opportunity for adventure. The distance between Manali and Kaza is approximately 200 Kilometers. The roads are tough to drive upon especially when you’re headed towards Kunzum Pass, and the water crossings make conditions even tougher, but the journey becomes ten times better when you are traveling to Spiti Valley from the Manali route, not to mention that even though the roads are extremely hostile, they are less susceptible to landslides, and the entire journey is less time-consuming.

You'd be able to visit the Chandratal lake, see the Himalayan sheep grazing in the meadows, and soak in the sun as well.
Although Spiti Valley is paradise personified during winters, it's crucial to know that most of the motorable passes get closed due to heavy snowfall. The Manali route gets completely shuts down. The route via Shimla is open throughout but it's important to know that the roads are slippery hence caution is needed. The temperature drops below zero degrees. Since the network is scarce and the last ATM is in Kaza (which runs out of cash often), you must be fully prepared for a winter Spiti trip.
