PACKAGE OVERVIEW
The Manali–Spiti Valley Loop is one of India’s most demanding and visually extreme road journeys.
Forested Himalayan slopes give way to cold desert terrain, wide river valleys, and stark mountain faces that feel almost lunar. This itinerary is designed with altitude safety, vehicle realism, and road conditions in mind.
Nights are planned in strategic stages to allow acclimatisation, and driving distances are kept deliberately conservative. This is not a luxury holiday — it is a high-altitude road expedition for travellers who want to experience the raw Himalayas from the ground up.
