Spiti in winter is a different place: the river freezes at the edges, villages are blanketed in snow and there are almost no other travellers. Because Kunzum Pass is closed, this trip goes in and out through Kinnaur, giving time to adjust to altitude at Sangla and Kalpa before reaching Kaza at about 3,800 m. Meals are included throughout so you are not hunting for open cafés in a valley that largely shuts down for the season.
Departure point: Ex Delhi (Delhi to Delhi). Overnight departure from Delhi on Day 1 evening.
