Transcendent Spiti Quest

10 DAY TOUR

SPITI

Transcendent Spiti Quest – Where Mystical Landscapes and Cultural Richness Converge for an Unforgettable Himalayan Adventure.

Separated from fertile Lahaul by the soaring 4551m Kunzum Pass, the trans-Himalayan region of Spiti is another chunk of Tibet marooned within India, a kind of ‘mini-Ladakh’ with fewer tourists. The scattered villages in this serrated moonscape arrive like mirages while the turquoise-grey ribbon of the Spiti River is your near-constant companion, albeit sometimes way below in precipitous gorges. We will make sure to make your Journey full of Adventure when Sun is shining and as luxurious as possible when Night falls.
