Spiti Winter Expedition 6N/7D

Spiti winter expedition

Experience Spiti like never before with our Spiti Winter Expedition tours. The Spiti valley is nearly inaccessible from Dec to April due to heavy snowfall. Even most of the local residents of Spiti move to lower areas in winters. Out of the two ways to reach Spiti Valley, Rohtang pass is totally closed in winters. Therefore, the only way to do a Spiti winter expedition is via Shimla & Kinnaur. Not all vehicles neither every driver can drive in the harsh winter environment of the Himalayas. 

Therefore we have collaborated with experienced people from the Himalayas to offer you a heavenly experience in Spiti. This is a chance to experience the simple local life of Spiti valley in winters. This Spiti winter expedition is more of a soulful experience rather than a luxury picnic. You will get to experience the Spiti valley in its full glory. Away from crowds, experience the peaceful atmosphere and snow covered landscape. And if you are lucky enough you will also be able to see various species of wildlife while on this Spiti Valley Snow drive.
