Spiti valley Tour faqs

What should be the average budget for a Lahaul- Spiti trip?

An average trip of 10 days to Lahaul Spiti can cost anywhere between INR 80,000 to INR 1,00,000 per person. The cost largely depends on your accommodation options, food options, and what activities you take part in.

Is Spiti Valley worth visiting?

Spiti Valley is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and worth every second of your time. Where else can you visit the highest post office in the world (Hikkim), visit centuries-old cliffside monasteries, see the highest village in the world (Kibber) and savour the gorgeous beauty of pristine mountain lakes and high passes like Baralacha La and Kunzum.

How to reach Spiti valley from Shimla?

Kaza is the headquarters and entry point to Spiti Valley and is located at about 450 kilometres from Shimla. It takes about 2 days to reach Spiti Valley from Shimla. Buses ply between Shimla and Kaza and the road route when travelled by car is Shimla - Narkanda- Sarahan - Chitkul - Kalpa - Nako/Tabo - Kaza

How to prepare myself if I am visiting Spiti Valley for the first time?

One of the major problems faced by people when visiting Lahaul for the first time is altitude sickness. This is due to the high atmospheric pressure and less oxygen concentration in the air.

To get used to this, you can start working out lightly and increase your lung capacity by doing cardio workouts. When you do visit the valley, you should try to take breaks when climbing so that your body can get used to the changes in the atmosphere. Additionally, avoid consuming alcohol or smoking tobacco during the trip as these things tend to decrease respiratory drive.

When traveling to Lahaul-Spiti Trip, what mistakes should one avoid?

Here are some of the most common mistakes you should avoid when planning your Spiti Valley trip:

1. Ignoring Acclimatization – No matter how fit and strong you are, how much you train every day, or how much protein you eat – everybody needs to acclimatize to the higher altitude irrespective of fitness level, age and sex. So make sure that you give your body enough time to get used to the lower oxygen levels.

2. Ignoring Road Safety Measures hen Driving to the Valley – Most people tend to underestimate how treacherous the passage to the valley is. No matter how many miles you have under your belt and how many times you have passed Rohtang, Lahaul-Spiti is an entirely different beast, and we recommend taking appropriate precautions if you are driving there yourself.

3. Not Planning the Trip – Lahaul-Spiti is a very volatile region when it comes to its geography and weather. If the weather worsens or you get stuck somewhere, it can lead to dire consequences. That is why we recommend planning your trip meticulously with every detail outlined.

4. Taking Small Babies with Them – This is highly dangerous for the baby as well as the adult. Children have an extremely hard time adjusting to low oxygen levels and they are also more prone to altitude sickness. If anything like that happens, their conditions can quickly become worse. 

5. Drinking Alcohol before Going – No matter how much experience you have with alcohol, do not take this warning lightly. Excessive amounts of alcohol along with tobacco smoking and other depressant drugs can lower respiratory drive and worsen the symptoms of altitude sickness.
