Unlike the other towns or tourist hotspots, where ATMs are on every corner, Spiti’s remote nature means you need to plan when it comes to cash. Banks in Spiti Valley are not exactly abundant, and in many years, they might be out of service, or just plain absent. So, while Spiti’s natural beauty mesmerized you, the lack of accessible ATM in Spiti Valley can leave your wallet feeling a little light.

So, if you are heading to Spiti Valley, it is not just about packing your camera and trekking boots. It is about being smart with your finances before you set foot on the mountains. So, make sure you your money doesn’t run out before the views do! Whenever you plan your Spiti tour packages, make sure you are guided on everything about ATM availability in Spiti.

Where to Find an ATM in Spiti?

It is a little challenging to find an ATM in Spiti Valley due to the remote location. However, you can find an ATM in Kaza, which is the headquarters town of Spiti, where you get access to almost everything.

Then, potentially, you will find an ATM in Tabo where you might get some reliability for cash withdrawal in Spiti Valley. Also, before entering Spiti Valley, you should be prepared with sufficient cash in Shimla or Manali, as the limited ATM in Spiti Valley might trouble you.

Apart from Kaza, Reckong Peo also has 7-8 ATMs, which you can access while taking the Shimla-Spiti route. Then, there is an ATM in Sangla and one in Kalpa. But you should know that you cannot fully rely on any of them. There are very limited banks in Spiti Valley, and it might create a problem for you while traveling.

In Ladakh, find the perfect blend of culture, adventure, and serenity. December last year I decided that my next trip would be Ladakh but didn’t know how to go about it.

Had an awesome time there and made some good friends as well.
