After breakfast, visit Chitkul—the last inhabited village before the Indo-Tibetan border. Surrounded by pine forests, riverbeds, and boulders, this charming village sits on the banks of the Baspa River. Explore local sites like the quaint Mata Mandir and nearby army installations at the ITBP camp. Later, drive back via Karcham Dam and head towards Recong Peo, the district headquarters of Kinnaur. A short climb above brings you to Kalpa, a peaceful village famous for its breathtaking views of the Kinner Kailash range—considered sacred and believed to be the winter abode of Lord Shiva. Spend the night in Kalpa, taking in the snow-clad Himalayan vistas.

After breakfast and check-out, we drive toward Tabo with several stops en route. First is Khab, where the Satluj and Spiti rivers meet. Next is Nako, a serene village where you can enjoy lunch by the beautiful Nako Lake and explore its monastery. We then visit Gue village, home to a 530-year-old naturally preserved mummy of a monk housed in a monastery. In the evening, we reach Tabo and check into the hotel.

After breakfast, we proceed to Kaza via the village of Dhankhar. A short yet rewarding hike to Dhankhar Lake (approx. 2 hours round trip) is an optional activity here. Arriving in Kaza by afternoon, the rest of the day is free for exploring the riverside, local market, or relaxing at one of the cozy cafes in town.

Today is dedicated to exploring the high-altitude villages surrounding Kaza. We begin with Langza, known for its gigantic Buddha statue and fossil fields. Next is Komic, the highest motorable village in the world, followed by Hikkim, home to the highest post office in the world. In the evening, return to Kaza for an overnight stay.

After breakfast, check out and drive to Chandratal Lake. En route, we visit Kyee Monastery, one of the largest in Spiti, and the wildlife-rich Kibber village. We then cross Chicham Bridge, Asia’s highest bridge, and pass through Lossar village and the Kunzum La Pass (4,551 meters). Finally, we reach the stunning crescent-shaped Chandratal Lake for the night.

After breakfast, we leave Chandratal and drive through Batal, Chhatru, Koksar, and Sissu. Stop at various scenic points along the way for refreshments and photo breaks. Drive through the 8.5 km Atal Tunnel before reaching Solang Valley, known for its adventure sports. Finally, we arrive in Manali, where you'll be dropped off at your hotel or the Volvo bus stand.
