Spiti Valley Express — Kaza via Manali 5N/6D
Overview

Best for travellers already acclimatised or short on days.
Highlights
- Kunzum Pass at 14,931 ft

- World's highest post office at Hikkim

Day-wise Itinerary
A long, spectacular first day. Leave Manali early, cross through the Atal Tunnel into Lahaul, follow the Chandra river to Batal and climb Kunzum Pass (14,931 ft) before dropping into Spiti. Eight to ten hours of river valleys, scree slopes and no trees at all. Check in at Kaza (12,500 ft) and rest — acclimatisation matters more than sightseeing tonight. Overnight in Kaza.
