Destinations to be covered during the tour

Our tour starts from Manali, crossing Rohtang Pass which divides the Kullu Valley from Lahaul and Spiti Valleys. Through Kunzum Pass, which acts as a bridge between Lahaul and Spiti Valley, we reach the largest settlement in Spiti Valley, Kaza. We will cover the places which are the essence of the Spiti Valley like Key Monastery, Kibber, Komic, Langza, Dhankar, Dhankar Lake and Chandratal Lake.

Places like this are untouched by tourism and are not very easily accessible due to the harsh weather conditions, so it is very important to understand that the communities and people have very limited resources. We will make sure that we travel responsibly and contribute to the development of the communities, and help them in the issues related to environment and livelihood. Spread awareness about ecotourism and minimize the use of carbon and plastic in the regions.
