Spiti Valley Circuit — 8 Days / 7 Nights

Overview

Spiti is a high, dry valley. Most nights are in Kaza after a Kinnaur approach so you gain height slowly.

  • The usual summer window is June to September. Kunzum and Chandratal depend on snow and road reports that week.
  • Hikkim, Komic, and Langza are day drives from Kaza, not separate destinations you rush in one hour.
