Spiti in its winter form

In winter, Spiti becomes a remote Himalayan world of snow, frozen slopes, quiet villages and gompas that look nothing like their summer selves. Unlike a summer road trip, this is an expedition. It asks for patience, flexibility and an eye for weather.

The 7-night circuit runs Chandigarh–Shimla–Kalpa–Tabo–Kaza and returns the same way through Kinnaur. High villages around Kaza stay on the plan only when ice and snow allow. Overnight on the way back is held in Narkanda or Shimla, depending on how the long day actually runs.

December – March Winter expedition Flexible days

What this circuit includes

7 nights, paced

Shimla, Kalpa, Tabo and Kaza — with a return night in Tabo so the last drive is not a single marathon.

Breakfast & dinner

Daily breakfast and dinner at the stay. Lunches stay flexible on long winter transfer days.

Private transfers

Chandigarh pickup, the Kinnaur corridor into Spiti and the same-route return in a dedicated vehicle.

Winter gompas & villages

Tabo, Dhankar, Key, Kibber and Chicham — subject to snow and ice on the higher roads.
