Itinerary
Your Himalayan journey begins as you board a comfortable overnight Volvo bus from Delhi in the evening. Leave the city chaos behind and enjoy a smooth, scenic overnight ride through winding mountain roads as you head toward the cool air of Himachal Pradesh.
Arrive in Manali by morning and check into your stay to shake off the travel fatigue. Spend the afternoon soaking in local mountain culture—wander through the towering pine trees of the sacred Hadimba Devi Temple, explore the rustic lanes of Old Manali, or take a peaceful stroll through Van Vihar. Spend your evening soaking up the vibrant vibe of Mall Road. Stay overnight in Manali.
Wake up to an early, thrilling start as you leave green Manali behind. Drive straight through the engineering marvel of the Atal Tunnel and step directly into the stark, breathtaking cold desert of Spiti Valley. Journey along the wild riverbeds, ascend the mighty Kunzum Pass, and seek blessings at the sacred mountain shrine before arriving in Kaza by evening. Stay overnight in Kaza.
Today is all about touching the skies in some of the world's highest human settlements. Visit Langza to witness the giant golden Buddha statue gazing over snow-clad peaks, head up to Hikkim to mail a postcard from the World’s Highest Post Office, and explore Komik, one of the highest motorable villages on earth. Return to Kaza by evening for a cozy night. Stay overnight in Kaza.
After a hearty breakfast, head out to explore the magnificent Key Monastery perched dramatically on a hilltop. Drive across Chicham Bridge, Asia's highest suspension bridge hanging over a massive gorge, and make your way toward the mystical Chandratal Lake (Moon Lake). Experience the surreal beauty of the crystal-clear crescent lake before cozying up for the night at the campsite. Stay overnight at the Chandratal campsite.
Wake up to a crisp, raw mountain morning surrounded by untouched nature. Pack your bags and begin your scenic drive back through the Lahaul Valley and Atal Tunnel, returning to Manali by afternoon. In the evening, board your overnight Volvo bus back to Delhi.
Arrive back in Delhi by early morning, carrying a camera full of raw memories, rugged trails, and a heart forever anchored in the Himalayas.
