Today’s short but scenic drive takes you to Kalpa, famous for its stunning views of the Kinnaur Kailash range. The calm atmosphere and snow-covered surroundings make Kalpa a perfect stop for acclimatization.
The drive to Tabo marks the entry into Spiti Valley. As the landscape changes into a cold desert, you’ll witness dramatic mountains and frozen river stretches. On arrival, explore the historic Tabo Monastery, one of the oldest in the Himalayas.
A short drive brings you to Kaza, the administrative and cultural center of Spiti Valley. The route offers breathtaking winter scenery and introduces you to life in this high-altitude region.
Today is dedicated to exploring some of the world’s highest inhabited villages. Visit Komic, Hikkim (home to the world’s highest post office), and Langza, known for its giant Buddha statue and fossil-rich landscape, all surrounded by snow.
After breakfast, begin the return journey towards Kalpa. The long drive offers one last chance to absorb Spiti’s stark beauty and peaceful winter environment.
Travel back to Shimla through winding mountain roads, slowly transitioning from remote high-altitude terrain to more populated hill stations.
