Undertaking a road trip through the stark landscapes of Spiti is a wholesome escapade for nomads and travel enthusiasts all across the globe. Pass through hypnotically gorgeous, jaw-dropping, and equally thrilling winding roads making your drive bumpy to Spiti – “The middle land”. Witness the slow transformation from lush green hills of Kinnaur to barren brown landscapes of Spiti and then again to the greens of Manali will leave you spellbound.
A drive from the highest village to the last village is totally worth remembering as you breathe in the fresh mountain air while sitting on the isolated slopes of the last village surrounded by the magnificent landscapes. Feel the chills as you look down upon a tiny truck from Asia’s highest suspended Chicham bridge or cross the manually operated cable ropeway to Kibber village, Spiti makes a perfect powerpack for an adventurous vacation.
