Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can we go to Spiti by normal car?
A high-ground clearance vehicle is recommended for Spiti as the roads are rough, especially on the Manali route. While some travellers take small cars via the Shimla route, it’s not ideal due to uneven terrain, river crossings, and landslide-prone areas. Hiring an SUV or a 4x4 vehicle is the safest option.

2. Do we need oxygen in Spiti?
Spiti Valley is a high-altitude region, with elevations over 12,000 feet, where oxygen levels are lower. Most travellers acclimatize naturally, but those prone to altitude sickness should take necessary precautions. Make sure to stay hydrated, ascend gradually, and carry doctor-prescribed medication. Portable oxygen cylinders are available in Kaza for emergencies but are not usually needed for a short visit.
