Experience the Shimla–Spiti–Chandratal Circuit in 7 days, exploring Kinnaur, Kaza, Kunzum Pass, Chandratal Lake, ancient monasteries, and breathtaking Himalayan landscapes.
Shimla – Spiti Valley – Chandratal Circuit Tour (7 Days / 6 Nights)
The Shimla – Spiti Valley – Chandratal Circuit is the definitive Trans-Himalayan road trip. By starting in Shimla and traveling through Kinnaur before entering Spiti, you gain altitude gradually—drastically reducing the risk of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS).
From the lush pine forests of Baspa Valley to the cold desert landscapes of Kaza and the turquoise waters of Chandratal Lake (14,100 ft), this route covers ancient Tibetan monasteries, world-record high-altitude villages, and dramatic pass crossings before exiting via the Atal Tunnel into Manali.
