FAQs for Spiti Valley Full Circuit
The normal Spiti tour (via Shimla) returns via the same route. The Full Circuit tour is more comprehensive; it enters Spiti from the Shimla side and exits from the Manali side, allowing you to visit high-altitude passes like Kunzum La and the beautiful Chandratal Lake.
The road from Kaza to Manali, especially the stretch from Batal to Gramphu, is very rough and challenging with multiple water crossings. It is a true off-roading adventure. We use capable vehicles and experienced drivers for this section.
Accommodation at Chandratal consists of basic tented campsites with attached or common washrooms. It's a rustic but incredible experience, allowing you to stay close to nature under a star-studded sky. There are no permanent hotels here.
