Kinnaur, Spiti, Chandratal & Manali

The circuit takes in ancient monasteries, remote villages, high mountain passes and Chandratal — the Moon Lake — before a last night in Manali. Kunzum and lake access depend on road and weather conditions. Stays mix hotels, guesthouses and a night at camp near the lake.
