About Lahaul and Spiti
Spiti Valley India’s breathtaking cold desert in the Himalayas
Spiti Valley is not a destination for the faint-hearted — and that is exactly what makes it extraordinary. Located at an average altitude of 3,800 metres in the remote Trans-Himalayan region of Himachal Pradesh, Spiti is a high-altitude cold desert sculpted by millennia of wind, water, and ice. Ancient Buddhist monasteries cling to cliffs, villages hang impossibly on mountainsides, and the sky is a shade of blue you will not find anywhere else in the world.
Shardha Tour & Travel operates the full Spiti Circuit — both the Shimla-Spiti route via Kinnaur and the Manali-Spiti route via Kunzum Pass. Our Spiti packages are designed for travellers who want to experience authentic remote India with the safety and comfort of an experienced local guide.

Yes. Spiti is at 3,800–4,500 metres and altitude sickness is a real risk.

We recommend consulting your doctor before the trip if you have any heart or respiratory conditions.
