Kinnaur Valley Tour From Chandigarh Overview

About the Tour:

Call it a writer's inspiration or a painter's imagination, the beauty of Spiti cannot be summed up in words. Embark on this dream road trip to Spiti to discover why Rudyard Kipling quoted Spiti as "A world within a world". As you drive deeper into the rugged landscape, the Spiti Valley unfolds itself with its vibrant monasteries, snow-clad mountains, small hamlets, glittery lakes, and the views that were only on your Instagram feed.

Sit on the isolated slopes at the highest village of Spiti-Komic and look up to get thrilling glimpses of the eagles, hawks, and vultures high up in the sky. From getting goosebumps while looking at the 500 years old self mummified body of a Buddhist monk at Gue to feeling the chills as you look down upon a tiny truck from Asia’s highest suspended Chicham bridge, Spiti makes a perfect powerpack for an adventurous vacation.
