Spectacular Spiti Sojourn

Arise to the marvellous views of the Himalayas and relish a heartwarming breakfast.

Post breakfast, check out from the hotel and hop on your ride which will take you on a journey that you’ll remember for a lifetime.

The drive will cover some of the most fascinating places of the country. You will be driving through the Rohtang Pass that usually has snow walls on both sides. Then gaze at the Chandra Valley river flowing alongside your way and finally drive through the mighty Kunzum Pass which is said to be the gateway to Spiti.

Post arrival in the middle land, check in your hotel and cherish the absolutely mesmerising view of the valley. If you want, you can also rest as you’ll be having the evening to yourself.

Later in the evening, have a piping hot dinner in the middle of the cold land and lay back on your beds for a much needed sleep.

Be mesmerised by the breathtaking morning views and breakfast in Kaza. Post breakfast, get ready to explore the magic that separates Kaza from others and that is its monasteries.

Start your sojourn with a visit to Dhankar Monastery. Built in the 16th century as a fort monastery, Dhankar monastery is over 1000 years old and is one of the highest monasteries in Spiti, located at an altitude of 3,800 feet above sea level.

Next up is a monastery that will take you back a 1000 years and give you a closer glimpse of authentic Buddhist tradition. The Tabo Monastery in Spiti has over nine temples and a myriad of stupas, noted for being the oldest operating Buddhist enclave in both India and the Himalayas, the monastery possesses ancient murals, artefacts and much more that will give you a closer glimpse of the Buddhist legacy.

After a hypnotic journey, retreat to Kaza. Post the aesthetic drive back to your hotel, have a mouth watering dinner and hop in your cosy beds for a good night’s sleep.

It’s a new day, a new opportunity to dive deeper into the adventure land, Kaza. Post a hearty breakfast, get ready to embark on a monastic journey.

The first halt of this journey will be at Sakya Tangyud monastery, a monastery that dispenses matchless vibrance and good vibes. The establishment is pure bliss for those seeking peace and tranquillity, divine and euphonious Buddhist chants can be heard all around the monastery. Situated at an altitude of 14,830 feet, the premises is not only one of Spiti’s highest monasteries but one of the country’s highest. What’s more, travellers will also get opportunities to click Insta worthy pictures as the monastery offers panoramic views.

If time permits, you can also visit the Kibber Wildlife Sanctuary; one of the country’s highest sanctuaries. When in the sanctuary, you can easily spot Tibetan Wolf, Red Fox,Snow Pigeon and a number of other members of the wildlife.

After a divine journey, retreat to your hotel for dinner and overnight stay.

Wake up in the midst of the majestic mountains and relish a delectable breakfast.

It's now time to take your Spiti tour a notch above by driving to a destination that is nestled in the centre of snow capped mountains and that is Chandratal. Situated at an altitude of 14,100 feet, this high elevation lake has a prominent part in Indian mythology. Believed that fairies arrive here at night by the locals, the lake is definitely a photographer’s paradise.

With matchless views that will definitely have a place in your heart, the drive to Chandratal is not that easy but definitely worth every effort. While the day will be absolutely blissful, your night at Chandratal will be even better, since you will be staying in camps for the night.

When the sun sets, the skies glitter with an infinite number of stars. The clear skies will also allow you to watch the Milky Way while you have your dinner before tucking yourself in your cosy beds.

Wake up to the mesmerising views and post a hearty breakfast checkout from your camp and bid adieu to the middle land.

Take a scenic drive back to Manali and upon arrival, check in your hotel and if you want, you can take some rest to recharge yourself.

Later, you can explore Manali on your own. You can indulge yourself in a cafe hopping session or a shopping spree in the Mall Road.

Retreat to your hotel for dinner and overnight stay.
