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.
