A detailed day by day schedule outlining planned activities, sightseeing spots, travel routes, accommodation, meals, and guided experiences during your tour.

Delhi → Shimla

Assemble at the boarding point in Delhi, either Kashmiri Gate or Majnu Ka Tila. Meet your trip captain and fellow travellers before the group briefing. Once everyone is settled in, begin the overnight journey towards Shimla.

Stay - Overnight Journey; Meals - None

Day 1 :
Shimla → Sangla

Reach Shimla in the morning and take a short breakfast break before continuing towards Sangla. The roads gradually leave the city behind as the landscape opens into the mountains. Travel through the beautiful Kinnaur Valley, following rivers and winding mountain roads along the way. The scenery gets quieter as you move deeper into the valley.

Reach Sangla, check in to your stay and take some time to freshen up. Keep the evening relaxed and enjoy the peaceful surroundings before dinner.

Day 2 :
Sangla → Chitkul → Tabo

Wake up to a cold mountain morning and begin the journey after breakfast. Your first stop is Chitkul, the last inhabited village of India, set against the dramatic landscapes of the Baspa Valley. Spend some time exploring the village before stopping at Hindustan Ka Aakhri Dhaba. From here, the journey continues deeper towards Spiti.

Cross Khab Bridge and travel through Sumdo towards the confluence of the Spiti and Satluj Rivers. Later, visit Gue Monastery, known for its centuries-old preserved mummy. Continue to Tabo and settle into your stay. After dinner, step outside if the skies are clear for your first proper taste of Spiti's famous winter stargazing.

Day 3 :
Tabo → Dhankar → Kaza

Start the day with breakfast before exploring Tabo. Visit the historic Tabo Monastery, one of the most significant monasteries in Spiti, and take in the atmosphere of this ancient Himalayan settlement. Continue towards Dhankar through dramatic rocky landscapes. Explore the ancient Dhankar Monastery and pause for the spectacular views across the valley.

From Dhankar, continue towards Kaza. As you approach the valley's main town, the landscape becomes wider, barer and more dramatic. Check in to your accommodation and keep the evening easy. After dinner, head outside for another clear-sky stargazing session in Kaza.

Stay - Homestay/Hotel, Kaza; Meals - Breakfast & Dinner

Day 4 :
Kaza Sightseeing | Langza – Komic – Hikkim – Chicham – Key

Wake up to a Himalayan morning and begin a full day of exploring the high-altitude villages around Kaza. Start with Langza, famous for its giant Buddha statue and expansive mountain views. Continue to Komic and visit the historic Tangyud Monastery before heading towards Hikkim. Take a moment at Hikkim to send a postcard from its famous high-altitude post office. The villages here offer a glimpse into how life continues at some of the highest inhabited settlements in the region. Later, cross the spectacular Chicham Bridge and visit the iconic Key Monastery. Take in the views before returning to Kaza.

After dinner, settle in for the night or step outside once again for the clear mountain skies.

Day 5 :
Kaza Valley Exploration

Keep the morning relaxed before heading out to discover another side of Spiti. Explore traditional villages and ancient settlements while getting a closer look at the local mountain culture. Spend some time beside the Spiti River and take in the stark winter landscapes around you. This is a day to slow down, explore at an easy pace and enjoy the valley without rushing from one viewpoint to another.

Return to Kaza and spend some leisure time with your fellow travellers. As night falls, gather for dinner and, if the skies are clear, another memorable stargazing experience.

Stay - Homestay/Hotel, Kaza; Meals - Breakfast & Dinner

Day 6 :
Kaza → Kalpa

Wake up early and begin the scenic journey towards Kalpa after breakfast. Follow the Spiti River as the landscape slowly starts changing from the stark desert of Spiti to the greener valleys of Kinnaur. Stop at Lingti Waterfall before continuing through Powari and Reckong Peo. The roads gradually bring back more vegetation and a different mountain character. Drive uphill to Kalpa and check in to your stay. If time permits, visit the local monastery and temple overlooking the Kinnaur Kailash range.

Enjoy a relaxed evening in Kalpa and take in the mountain views before dinner.
