About the Trip

Road Trip to the Valley Of Wanderers

“A world within a world. Surely the Gods must live here, this is no place for men” says Rudyard Kipling, in his description of the Spiti Valley. This rustic landscape of this remotely resting land will leave you awestruck with its still life scenes for picture postcards of the barren cold desert. The turquoise lakes and precariously perched monasteries set against a backdrop of clear blue skies, justifies Rudyard’s statement altogether.  

Spiti Valley is a high altitude desert whose beauty unveils after a tough and tricky ride through the most challenging roads of Himalayas. If you feel the need for adrenaline, you got your share of dose right throughout your trip to Spiti.
