Let’s have a detailed look at all the seasons in Spiti.

How to Reach Spiti Valley from Bangalore

Travelling from Bangalore to Spiti Valley​ is an epic adventure that combines air travel, long road trips, and scenic mountain routes. Since Spiti doesn’t have its own airport or railway station, travellers usually connect via major North Indian hubs like Chandigarh or Delhi and then continue by road. Let’s explore the travel options:

1. By Air

• Fly from Bangalore (Kempegowda International Airport) to Chandigarh, Delhi, or occasionally Kangra, with connected flights via major carriers like IndiGo, Vistara, or Air India. The Bangalore-Chandigarh flight takes around 3 to 5 hours, depending on the layovers.

• From Chandigarh or Delhi, begin the road journey to Spiti via either of them:

• Shimla–Kinnaur route: More gradual ascent, better acclimatisation, and usually open year-round.

• Manali–Kunzum Pass route: Shorter and more scenic, but only open mid-June to October

2. By Train

• There is no direct train service to Spiti. Travellers board long-distance trains from Bangalore to major northern junctions like Chandigarh or Kalka. Options include trains like the Goa Sampark Kranti Express or Paschim Express.

• From there, one can opt for buses or taxi services onward to Shimla, followed by the Shimla–Spiti or Shimla–Kinnaur road route.

3. By Road

The best way to reach Spiti Valley from Bangalore and the last part of the trip to Spiti is usually always on the road, regardless of how you start your journey. A road trip from Bangalore to Spiti, which is about 2,640 km long and takes about 38+ hours, is an option if you wish to accomplish the entire journey by road, which is impractical and not advised. The two routes are broken down as follows:

It is recommended to book the Spiti Valley tour packages from Bangalore and take a plane or train to Delhi or Chandigarh first, and then drive the remaining distance. The Manali route is shorter but only opens for a few months, usually from late May to early October, whereas the Shimla route is open for the majority of the year and allows gradual acclimatisation to high elevations. Both paths provide breathtaking vistas and memorable scenery.

Things to Do in Spiti Valley

From rafting on the rapid waves of Spiti and Pin rivers to trekking to Dhankar Lake, and riding a Yak, while you explore the quaint villages, are listed under some of the best things to do in Spiti. Here is a list of some of the most engaging things included on the Spiti Valley tour package from Bangalore:

1. River Rafting on the Spiti or Pin Rivers

If you are looking for adventure-packed experiences in your Spiti Valley tour packages from Bangalore, then river rafting is your best bet. Providing you with a thrilling ride through the rugged Himalayan scenery, the rafting route typically runs from Rangrik to Sichling, offering moderate to difficult rapids that flow past dramatic cliffs and monasteries. The stretch is 180km long, and usually costs around ₹500 to ₹1,500. The ideal season for this activity is between July and August.

2. Camping near Chandratal Lake

Surrounded by wildflower-carpeted meadows and silent mountain walls, Chandratal is a crescent-shaped lake with turquoise blue waters and alpine meadows, which are magical at sunrise and under starlit skies. Perched at an elevation of 4,300 meters, camping here promises you ultimate views and an everlasting experience. While camping is prohibited on the banks of the lake to protect the delicate ecosystem, there are campsites located a few kilometres away from Chandrataal.

3. Trekking to Dhankar Lake

Among the famous treks of Spiti, the Dhankar trek is basically the hike from Dhankar Monastery to the Dhankar Lake, which is nestled above the village at an elevation of about 4,140 meters. This 5 km uphill trek usually takes about 1.5-2 hours. With expansive views of the monastery and twin Spiti-Pin river valleys, the walk is both moderately difficult and extremely rewarding. It's the best getaway into the wilderness at high elevation on your Spiti Valley tour package from Bangalore.

4. Send a Postcard from Hikkim

Visiting the world’s highest post office is an exciting part of the Spiti Valley tour package and a story in itself. Hikkim's post office, established in 1983, sits at a lofty 4,440 m and is an important hub for locals and travellers alike. Sending a postcard from here is a cherished ritual, and your postcard will traverse rough terrain on foot to Kaza, then onward via the postal network. As noted by a traveller, a postcard sent from there took nearly a year to reach its destination, reminding you how remote and real this experience truly is.

5. Take a Yak Ride Experience

Exploring Spiti’s high-altitude humps and meadows on the back of a yak is as iconic as it is peaceful. Yak safaris introduce you to daily mountain life, letting you pass through pristine landscapes at an unhurried pace. These rides can range from short photo-centric experiences to multi-hour excursions. Operators like Spiti Ecosphere offer yak-back safaris lasting 2–5 hours for around ₹2,000. These are accessible and beloved by people. These rides are for all age groups, adding a cultural and scenic layer to your Spiti Valley tour package from Bangalore.
