Winter Spiti Itinerary 8 Days 7 Nights

Overview of Winter Spiti Valley Road Trip

The beautiful Spiti Valley is covered in a blanket of snow, with temperatures dipping to a chilly -30°C. It is a cold and tough time in the valley, making it difficult yet extremely rewarding simultaneously! The famous Manali-Kunzum La-Kaza road is closed due to heavy snowfall, so we’ll be taking the Hindustan-Tibet Highway (Shimla-Kalpa-Kaza) instead.

And you know what, the stunning views will leave you speechless many times during your journey, so we thought to be a bit verbose here in the blog. 

But let’s be honest, we all have this love/hate relationship with Winter. On the one hand, we love the gorgeous winter scenes and the cozy feeling of sitting by a crackling fire with a glass of wine. On the other hand, we dislike the biting cold wind that chills you to the bone, slippery sidewalks, and muddy slush.

Having said that, there is no water supply in the toilets in Spiti in winter as the pipes are entirely frozen. Traditional Spitian dry compost toilets are the only choice in most places. So get ready for an 8-day adventure, exploring the most stunning snow-covered landscapes in Spiti Valley.

So here’s the million-dollar question: How should I plan, what should I buy, and how do I pack to make sure I’m able to survive extreme winters and snow? Well, we’ve curated this winter’s Spiti itinerary for you.
