Day 01: Shimla to Sangla

Arrive Shimla and Drive to Sangla. You shall meet the Sutlej river at Sainj and from there on
it will be with you till Spiti. With the Bapsa river magically weaving itself through the
forested slopes, this exquisite 95 kilometre stretch of the Sangla Valley is a sight to behold.
Known predominately for its agriculture, every house in Sangla will have cultivations of
apples, pears, walnuts, apricots or potatoes. Sangla is one of the most beautiful valleys in
India. Overnight stay in Sangla.

Day 02: Sangla –Chitkul- Kalpa

After having a hot, fresh breakfast while basking in the first rays of the sun, we head
towards Chitkul.
Chitkul can be described as one of the most scenic settlements in the valley and the last
inhabited village before the India-China border. This short drive from Sangla to Chitkul will
be one of the most scenic drives you’ll take with plenty of opportunities to take stunning
photographs. Walk around the Bapsa river and pay tributes to the Mathi Goddess at the
temple in the village. After spending time in Chitkul, we turn around and head to Kalpa.
Legend has it that Kalpa was the winter home of Lord Shiva. If it’s true, he couldn’t have
found a more remarkable abode for himself, with enthrallingly majestic views of the Kinner
Kailash and Jorkandan Peaks looming right above the village. Overnight at a hotel in Kalpa.

Day 03: Kalpa – Nako

After Breakfast in Hotel we continue driving on the famous Hindustan – Tibet Highway or
the NH 22 – This stretch famously known as one of “most treacherous roads of the world”
by the lonely planet in a visual spectacle. Don’t let that little piece of information deter you
because your local drivers are highly skilled and experienced while driving on these roads.
As you begin embracing the jaw-dropping views watch the mountains change their colours
from the lush greens of the Kinnaur valley to the many hues of brown.
In Kalpa visit the Suicide Point, which is located around 3 Kms away from Kalpa village and
the journey to this point takes place through beautiful apple gardens. This place is so lovely
that tourists even forget the dangerous trench and vertical slope they pass through on their
way to suicide point. This place is famous for its thrilling trench and enchanting atmosphere
that gives a wonderful experience to the visitors.
After a quick refuelling stop at Puh, we proceed to Nako – the last hamlet of Kinnaur,

Day 04: Nako- Sumdo- Tabo –Pin valley –Mudh
Have an early breakfast and head to Mudh this day. The terrain will change after Pooh and
you will see the end of the tree line. See the confluence of Spiti and Sutlej river at
Khab. Enroute visit the Tabo Monastery which is close to 1000 years old now. The murals,
thankas and paintings are believed to have been made in a single night by the Gods
themselves. You can also hike to the meditation caves, if time permits.

Gue Mummy – This mummy was found during an army excavation and was placed in a
tomb in the year 1975. According to carbon dating, the mummy is belived to be around 500
to 600 years old.

Tabo Monastery – This Monastery is close to 1000 years old now. The murals, thankas and
paintings are believed to have been made in a single night by the Gods themselves. You can
also hike to the meditation caves.

Mud hVillage
Mud is the last village in Pin Valley that is accessible by motorable road. The road actually
goes a little ahead of the village as well towards Bhabha Pass but I do not believe there is
any notable village after Mud. This village more or less acts as the base for anyone traveling
to Pin Valley, be it a road trip, casual trekking or scaling the Pin Parvati trek and Bhabha
Pass trek.

Day 05:- Mud – Dhankar – Kaza

After breakfast check out from home stay and drive to Kaza. On the way visit Dhankar
Monastery- Seat of the King in ancient times- the most beautiful setting of a monument
which hangs on a cliff and overlooks the confluence of Spiti and Pin River. Hike to Dhankar
Lake, if your lungs permit. After that transfer to Kaza. Visit Kaza bazaar and Monastery.
Dinner and overnight stay at Kaza.

Day 06: Kaza - Hikkim – Komic – Langza – (70 kms/ 3 hours)

Take the morning easy and today we head to Langza- the main area for Fossils, Hikkim- the
highest post office in the world and Komic- one of the highest villages in the world at 4600
meters. A visit to the Tangyud monastery in Komic is also worthwhile. You can see some snow
laden peaks during this drive. To make this memorable, you can also hike from Langza to
Komic- 3-4 hours. Visit the postmaster of the highest post office in the world at Hikkim and mail
some postcards from here after that visit the oldest monastery in the region Key Gompa. Drive
back to Langza. Overnight stay in Lagza homestay.

DAY 07: LANGZA – KEY MONASTERY – KIBBER – Chandertaal

After breakfast, visit Key monastery and Kibber village.
Key gompa is a Gelugpa sect monastery. Its hilltop position points to a post-thirteenth
century construction. The three storied structure consists largely of storage rooms at
the bottom level, while the middle floor houses the Dukhang- the assembly hall- and the

uppermost floor has another temple and the head Lama’s quarters, on one side of an
open terrace. The greatest wealth of Key Gompa lies in its collection of ‘Thangkas’
salvaged with difficulty from the devastating raids of the Dogars and the Sikhs in the
19th century. 
From here a scenic drive takes you into the pasture country of Kibber. The pastures are
spread over hundreds of square kilometers.
Kibber is small village and is the take off point for the popular trek to Tso Moriri in
Ladakh. Further up six kilometers from Kibber, drive up to a still smaller village of Gete.
Consisting of just six houses, it boasts of being the highest village in Asia connected by
road. Drive back Kaza for lunch. Evening will be for relaxation. Overnight stay in
Chandertaal.

DAY 08: Chandertaal to Manali
After early breakfast we departure to Chandertaal. Chandertaal Lake is renowned for its stunning
Himalayan beauty. The lake is accessible via a SUV (8 km drive) from a point after crossing Kunzum
La pass. The accommodation here is basic and therefore one has to be adventure frame of mind
before considering. After that drive to Manali. Dinner and overnight stay in Manali Hotel.

DAY 09: Manali Drop
After breakfast check out from hotel and drive to Manali Volvo Station.
