Hi Dheeraj...no doubt its a great guide....i feel lost in so many names of the places......i have 7-8 days going with family in August....please suggest me less places
This is surely the best itinerary I did spiti in this June following the same itinerary. And I got all the information from your blogs . Thanks for such useful information.
Thanks for the information. I would like you to make a video of the stay options and booking process in the places you have mentioned. Thanks in advance🙏
I will try to make it, meanwhile here are two links that can help you: devilonwheels.com/spiti-valley-homestays/ and devilonwheels.com/good-hotels-accommodation-spiti-valley-kinnaur-valley/
for information regarding route n trip plan for spiti, this is pure gold standard video, thank u dheeraj bhai for posting such helpful video regularly, ur knowledge of mountain is very good
Dear.. your way of guiding we like riders is awesome.. u explain great information/knowledge in crux that's the best thing about ur vdos. I love to watch ur video before starting my tour. Thanks for being guiding star.. keep guiding . Keep growing.. 👍🏻
Happy to know that Ravi, well, till Kunzum Pass you do not need the ePass but for visiting Chandratal Lake, you will need to apply for Chandratal ePass
Thanks for such a knowledgeable video. I always look forward for your videos and rely on these posts. Can you please suggest good clean and hygienic but eco homestays on this route. Thanks
Hi, you make amazing informative videos. I have a question. In this video I could see ice capped mountains everywhere. On which dates these videos were shot as I feel the view is best at this time and also there is no ice on the roads hence its safe to go on a non 4x4 car.
Virat bhai these videos are a mix.. But April-May is a good time to visit Spiti Valley in case you want to experience snow and don't want snow to be on the roads.
Thanks a lot Dheeraj. I will be traveling on Shimla-Kinnaur-Kaza-Chandrataal-Manali trip next week. This video has come at the perfect time for me. Now I dont have to pick up pen and paper and make any kind of itinerary.
Dheeraj ji..What is possibility winter travel ( November last week)Simla to kaza ..and what or how much distance can go spithi from Simla side…easy risk less travel…
Dheeraj ji bahut helpful video hai aapki kaafi help millegi travel karne walo ko☺️🙏 Solo travel 10 din me puri ki jaa sakti hai without own vehicle or car...?
yes Lokesh bhai, kari ja sakti hai.. isi series mein aapko aagay episode milega jismein aap kar sakte ho public transport se spiti trip: ruclips.net/video/sAWVo5vfYNo/видео.html
Good detailed video @dheeraj. I hv one qus like , in year 2022 what is the best month to follow ur first itinery, means going from shimla and coming from kunjum-rohtang-manali.
Thanks for sharing this video. Is it possible to do this tour in 8/9 days from Delhi? What should be cut in that case? And will that result in very long drives?
You can skip Sangla/Chitkul and go straight to Kalpa and then Tabo. Also you can skip night stay at Pin Valley and move to Kaza after Tabo. However like you said, it will surely make it a bit hectic.
Hello sir, very interesting & superb information shared, thanks a lot, all spiti valley video are very useful for me , myself and my husband like to do trekking also in these spiti valley, could you please let me know some information about gud homestay or gud hotel as we don't want to stay in tent

I have become your fan for the way you share detailed information... My Mind has changed and i am planning to go from Shimla side... Planning to start from Chandigarh in morning where can i reach and have night stay... Awaiting your guidance...
Thank you so much bhai, means a lot to me that these videos are proving helpful. It is a good decision to go via Shimla side and since you are starting from Chandigarh, you can probably make it to either Narkanda for easy drive a stretch a bit to Sarahan.
Awesome itenary can you please tell me best time to visit spiti I am planning from 30th April to may 9 from Shimla to spiti me and my wife travelling on bike is it safe to travel at that time
Thanks for making this video. It's very informative! Can you share your opinion on doing Spiti in April end/ early May? I understand it will have to be from Shimla side. Would most places you mentioned in the video be accessible? How about Chandratal? What can expected in terms of the weather and road conditions? Also if one wants to do a relaxed visit and not shift accomodation every night, what are the best places to spend 2 nights in and soak in the surroundings? Appreciate your help!
Early May, it may be possible that even Chandratal is also accessible as snow is less this year but nothing certain as you know with these places. Weather will be fine in May but cold in Spiti especially with morning and nights and high villages. How many total days do you have in hand?
Thanks for the reply@@discoverwithdheeraj Yes, you are right about the weather. Yesterday I spoke with a homestay owner in Kaza and he said there has been less snow this year, so he expects things to open up sooner this year. But at the same time I was checking AccuWeather and it was predicting snowfall during end April. So one can never be fully sure about the weather in the mountains :) We have 8 days in total. Starting point is Chd. I am hoping to spend the second night in Tabo or even Kaza if possible. So taking out 4 days for two and fro travel, we will have 4 days to spend in Spiti valley. The goal is to spend time in places that allow for a bit slow travel experience with great views, light walks/treks. I was thinking of Pin valley as well, either Tailing or Mudh. The other place could be Langza or Ki/Kibber. Definitely want to avoid staying in Kaza though we will visit to check out the bazar. Will appreciate your suggestions and guidance on this rough plan.
I am sorry, I missed it. Well, you should stay at Tabo first before Kaza. Then go to Pin Valley after visitng Dhankar. You can stay further ahead of Kaza at Rangrik and make it the base.
धन्यवाद धीरज भाई इस सीरीज के सभी विडियो मे आपने स्पीति के बारे मे अच्छी जानकारी दी है एक विडियो आप अलग से कहा पर रुके ओर लंच डिनर कहा अच्छा मिलता है अपने अनुभव के आधार पर आप हमसे शेयर करे।🙏
Ek dum bhai, video list mein hai vo bhi meri. Almost 40 videos ki list hai bhai Spiti k bas soch raha hu ki kaun kaun se club ho sakte hain taaki saari information jald se jald share akr sakun sabke saath :)
Hai Dheeraj jiii very useful information 🙏🙏🙏 just want to know normally how will be the road and climate conditions in second half of August Can we complete the circuit from Shimla side?
Truly awesome and extremely well researched and informative. We’re planning to visit between 14th Aug to 22nd Aug (9 days) from Chandigarh. Can you suggest how to cut down a day from your itinerary which is for 10 days. Will prefer entry from Simla and exit from Manali. Thanks a lot.
My queries for a road trip, self driven couple, to Spiti Valley. Wish for easy relaxing trip- Shimla side. 1. Most suitable month for trip. 2. Is KIGER (Renault) car good for the trip. 3. Do you get mechanics on way. 4. How to book hotel accommodation for stay.. 5. Should one carry food and petrol. Thanks. Col Verma (Retd)
Here are the replies: 1. Best month will be after 5th September. 2. You can take that car but then you need to be careful on the Manali Kaza road. 3. You get mechanics till Kaza from Shimla every few 100 KMs but between Kaza and Manali/Solang there will not be any mechanics. 4. For stays options in Spiti Valley, please refer following: Good Hotels/Stays in Spiti Kinnaur: discoverwithdheeraj.com/good-hotels-accommodation-spiti-valley-kinnaur-valley/ Good Authentic Homestays: discoverwithdheeraj.com/spiti-valley-homestays/ 5. Food you get on the way at most places and Petrol, you will not get between Kaza to Manali.
Well, traveling to Spiti via Shimla side helps a lot in acclimatization but idea is that you go slowly like described in the itinerary in the video. Plus you all must be hydrated all the time properly and avoid sleeping at high altitude places like high villages and Chandratal lake to be on safe side with kids and adults. Also plz check Q30. Can I take my 5-10-year-old kid to Leh Ladakh trip? [Ladakh Trip with Kids] ruclips.net/video/-nhWSSkQJjc/видео.html It is made for Ladakh but quite applicable to any high altitude place
Hi sir thankyou for the itinerary.. inam planning to visit the 1st itinerary in 2nd week of oct. Will it be fine or the road (kaza - manali)will be closed? And 2nd ques is do i need to hire a personal car or there will be local transport or traveller during 2nd week of October? Looking for a reply.. And thanks for this video 😊
It should be ok, just that before leaving Kaza check the weather update and then leave on that route You can get in touch with local taxi drivers for bookings, link on my blog. Local transport will also be there but limit your ability to do sightseeing and take pictures on the way. Plus some places you need to rely on hitchhiking
Bhai I do not sell any tours. If someone tells you otherwise, they are fooling you under my name and I have no relation to such people. Some have made identical spelling brands too but there is only one original “Devil on Wheels” and we don’t sell any tours, just share information that too for free…
@Dheeraj: Thank you for such informative videos. I am wondering if you have some info about accomodations at Mud village in Pin Valley. I only found Tara guesthouse and they do not have availability on the dates we travel.. What can be nearest alternatives?
May be Sonam Homestay +919418441453 or Check with Tsering bhai +91 94182 08987, +91 70187 31609, +91 89887 78987 for any Kinnaur Spiti tour and travel services including stay at Pin Valley. He is a pioneer in the region and also runs 2-3 hotels and homestays there in Kaza.
Hello sir! great itinerary and I’ll definitely be following the shimla to shimla route. Thing is I might only have 9 days instead of 10, what can I remove from the itinerary, considering I want to stay in mud village one night.
Hi Dheeraj, extremely informative and clearly explained video We are 2 families that plan to go to Spiti in May Is 2nd and 3rd week of may a good time to visit Spiti? via the Shimla/Narkhanda route. We will be travelling with Kids . What does one need to prepare for? Should we expect more chances of road closures in May as compared to June? Will it be ok to book hotel/homestay on the fly or pre-book? Thanks in advance :)
May is a good time to travel Punit, you should be OK to book homestays on fly if you are OK to search a bit.. nowadays lot of people travel during summer holidays and hence you may need to search a bit but I do not believe that you wont get them on spot, you will but with some effort and searching.
@@discoverwithdheeraj Dheeraj Bhai, again thanks for the prompt reply. I am planning to do Spiti via shimla route and back also that way. I read your blog as well on the same in addition to the video. The pdf is very helpful. I have a very fundamental question... In the route that you have described there are multiple days where we have more than 8 hrs of drive... I was just wondering that the time you have mentioned is just the non stop travel time or it covers multiple sight seeing points as well I plan to connect to the local drivers as well that you have mentioned on your other video We plan to hire a tempo traveler as we are 2 families in all
Punit bhai, the time I have mentioned covers time of stops on the way as well. It is not 100% non-stop travel time but includes somewhat sightseeing and couple of necessary breaks. Sounds good, yes for two families Tempo Traveler will be better for traveling together
@@discoverwithdheeraj Dheeraj Bhai - after following your itinerary, we have tentatively finalised the below plan. This was done considering we are traveling with Kids and the fact that we dont want to pack/unpack everyday. We have planned for 2 nights in Sangla and2 Nights in Tabo (instead of Kalpa and Pin-Valley). Please suggest or let us know if we need to modify. We are in touch with a few drivers you have recommended and most of them have said that Manali route will open by first week of May (we will be in Kaza in last week of May) Will eagerly wait for your feedback :) and thanks again.. your blogs and websites are so useful Day 1: (Mumbai) Chandigarh to Shimla (reach Shimla at 9 pm) Day 2: Shimla to Sangla (via Sarahan) Day 3: Sangla - Chitkul - Sangla (change of itinerary to have 2 nights in Sangla) Day 4: Sangla - Kalpa - Nako - Nako Lake - Geyu - Tabo Day 5: Tabo - Dhankar = Dhankar Lake - Pin Valley - Tabo (change of itinerary to have 2 nights in Tabo) Day 6: Tabo / Pin valley - Kaza - Ki - Kibber - Gette - Tashigang - Kaza Day 7: Kaza - Langza - Komik - Hikkim - Kaza Day 8: Kaza - Kunzum Pass - Chandrataal Day 9: Battal/Chandrataal - Kunzumpass - RohtangPass - Manali Day 10: Manali / Buffer Day Day 11: Manali - Delhi (overnight bus) Day 12: Delhi - Mumbai
for 10 day tour " Shimla side and ending at Manali with full circuit", Do I need to hire taxi from Shimla for the entire trip or can we hire separate taxis from places of stay? Shall we book hotels and taxis ourselves or through travel agencies? Please suggest.
Well, you can do t hat but it will be inconvenient. Your taxi driver can help you in finding places to stay on spot as well. You can get in touch with local drivers at the link here: devilonwheels.com/list-of-taxi-drivers-for-spiti-valley-kinnaur-valley/
Hi... I completely agree and understand why you are getting so much love from your subscribers and followers... Not only you make useful videos, but also address to all the doubts and clarify them... I have a silly doubt regarding the same (Itinerary 1)... As per your itinerary the following are the places where we are supposed to halt at night: Night 1: Shimla... Night 2: Chitkul... Night 3: Kalpa... Night 4: Tabo... Night 5: Pin Valley (Mud Village)... Night 6: Kaza Night 7: Kaza Night 8: Chandrapal / Battal Night 9: Manali Night 10: Delhi Apart from Shimla, Manali and Delhi can you suggest us some budget stays in Spiti??? Thank you in Advance and keep Shining 🌟🌟
I will recommend not to sleep at Chitkul but sleep at Sangla or Rakcham on second night and then visit Chitkul in day time. But avoid night sleep up there. Rest looks good.
I am planning a trip to Spiti in May end this year. Your video said to proceed from Shimla to Sangla on Day 2. If on Day 2 I go to Sarahan from Shimla via Narkanda, will that be practical?
As of last week Leh dc office was still issuing Permit and asking folks to do so. I believe on the new rule more clarity is yet to come so it will be safe to apply it. All this if you are talking about Ladakh. For Spiti you never needed ILP being Indian.
Thanks dheeraj bhai... Plz share us if we wanna camping with family after Delhi... Where is the safest places for self camping with our own tent in spiti as per your itinerary ...
Plz check this blog as it will take couple of weeks for me to reach this topic of camping in Spiti Valley devilonwheels.com/camping-in-spiti-valley-kinnaur-valley/amp/
Superbly Explained, I really appreciate your help. Can you please help like, what are the bais cost of food like, maggi, momos, omlet, local dish any round figure rates because you visit there. If have that idea so we can plan our budgets of food which is very important. In last after seeing your video I am satisfied and happy to many vedios from your playlist. Keep rocks, All tbe best 👍
Dada, we are planning to visit Spiti on October from Kolkata. We will start from Shimla. I just wanted your suggestion - Kya HRTC k bus se Spiti acchi tarha ghum sakte hai? Ya fir bike hire karna better rahega.. ? Because hum 2log hi jayenge. October ko Spiti ka rasta khula rahege k nehi iss ko lekar bhi confusion hai.. because of the 3rd stream of Covid.
Ocotber mein raaste to open rehte hain. Aap Spiti Shimla aur Manali dono side se jaa sakte ho aur buses Kaza k liye bhi mil jayengi. Spiti k andar thoda buses kam chalti hain to aapko thodi bahut hitch hike karke ya lift maang kar ya fer local jeeps jo chalti hain wahan villagers k liye unko use karna hoga.
First of all, thank you very much for these informative videos. We are planning to visit mainly Spity valley from Chandigargh. Our plan is for 7 days, like Day 1: Chandigarh to Sarahan (275 km) Day 2: Sarahan to Nako(~175 km) night stay at Nako Day 3: Nako to Kaza (~115 km) Dhankar Monastery, pin valley Day 4: Kaza side scenes (Langza, ki monastery) Day 5: Kaza to Chandratal and nigh stay at Batal Day 6: Batal to Manali (~110 km) Day 7: Manali to Chandigarh (~280 km) Is this plan possible? please suggest me.
Here is my suggestion: Day 1: Chandigarh to Sarahan Day 2: Sarahan - Nako - Chango (Nako may hit you with AMS, so sleep at Chango) Day 3: Chango - Tabo - Dhankar - Pin Valley - Kaza Day 4: Kaza - Hikkim - Komic - Langza - Ki - Kibber Day 5: Kibber - Chicham - Chandratal and night stay at Batal Day 6: Batal to Manali Day 7: Manali to Chandigarh

Dheeraj ji , We are 14 senior citizens in the age grp of 60 to 75 and plan to complete circuit of Chandigarh Shimla Narkanda , Sangla kalpa Nako Tabo Kaza Konzum pass Manali and back to Chandigarh in 12 days ..Will we face any problem of breathing or AMS etc ?
Dhananjay Ji, plz follow the itinerary in the video from Shimla side, travel slowly and keep everyone well hydrated throughout. In case anyone has any existing medical conditions then plz talk to the doctor before venturing on the trip and take doctors consultation after telling them about the visit to high altitude. Otherwise it shall be OK in general
आपकी यह वीडियो मैंने देख ली है पूरी। इतना और बता दें कि जून में काजा से मनाली की रोड कैसी मिलेंगी। पिछले साल के मुकाबले कुछ डेवलपमेंट रोड्स में हुआ है या नहीं????
Plz check this Q10. How to plan a budget trip to Spiti Valley by Public Transport? Spiti Valley Trip in Rs 8000 ruclips.net/video/sAWVo5vfYNo/видео.html
Hi Dheeraj, This is wonderful video and it helps me alot to plan my itinerary for Spiti circuit. I want to ask you that I have planned this on my bike and I want to stay in my own tent. Can I install my tent in anywhere in itinerary or is there any restriction on some areas for camping? Looking for your quick response. All the best for your future videos👍
Except at the Chandratal Lake, there is no restriction to pitch the camp in Spiti Valley. At Chandratal Lake, you can pitch them at designated camping sites only. I am working on a detailed video right now and will also be publishing tips for camping in Spiti Valley next week :)
@@discoverwithdheeraj Thank you so much for your quick response. I'll wait for your upcoming video so I can get some more information of camping in Spiti Valley and get my doubts clears by your video. Keep the good work up ..👍👍
thank you bhai, Ladakh k rules mein koi change nahin hai bhai abhi tak. Sabhi ko (including vaccinated people) 96 hrs old tak ki negative RT PCR report chahiye.
Great video sir! 💕Just 2 questions: if we return from Shimla side then chandartaal lake is missing from iternary..can we add that too? 2nd question: will there be no problem in self drive small hatchback if shimla route is opted for both ways like inside spiti valley or somewhere in mid of shimla route? Thanks in advance 😁
Thanks a lot Darpan, here are my replies: 1. Yes, you will need one day more to add or adjust to make a trip to Chandratal lake. Let me know if you need help in suggesting for any modifications 2. You should not have much issue in small car all the way to Losar - Kunzum Pass. Main problem is beyond that up to Grapmhu
@@discoverwithdheeraj Thanks for reply sir...I'm okay with 1st point. Regarding 2nd point: Gramphu will come in Manali route right?..I'm talking about Shimla route and return from Shimla route itself..I hope in that route and inside spiti like Kaza..hikim..Chandartaal Lake..my hatchback will do the job without problems. Please confirm Sir...Thanks in advance.
So till Kaza there should not be an issue. Mostly within Spiti there should not be an issue. Chandratal lies beyond Kunzum pass and there will be issues with hatchback car driving on that route. Mu suggestion is that only for Chandratal lake visit you rent a taxi in Kaza, do the trip come back to Kaza and pick your car to return to Shimla
HI Dheeraj. I am planning to do this circuit from Pune in coming mid Aug. 1st question, is mid aug advisable considering there were many landslides a month back. 2) My wife gets very scared of heights so i want to avoid the suicide point one route - so which route to take 3) I want to give 6-7 days post leaving shimla and then enter back via manali - so what circuit should i plan. Thx in advance.
hi dheeraj planning my trip to spiti from shimla route by car 1st week of april 2023 details you provided is very good and will follow on my way. any specific details i need to keep in mind on way pls share. thank you
Amish bhai, great you are able to find my videos useful. Well, it will be kinda cold conditions in Spiti so plz ensure you are going well prepared with clothing and all.
Hi Deeraj, Could you please recommend a good tours and travels to plan the entire Spiti circuit with hotels and car with local driver. Looking for someone reliable and genuine. Thanks in advance:)
There is one at Tapri and then Reckong Peo. You should not miss to fill tanks in one of these two and then you will find one at Kaza only which will be like 200 kms away considering detours.
Sir Aapse Sirf Ek Question Hai Shimla Se Kinnaur raste Spity and return from same route pura explore karna hai time bahut mere pass 15 days, bus ek doubt hai mere pass i20 petrol version hai 1200 CC hachback kya isase main comfortably is toure ko kar paunga.mera pahado ka recent anubhav Sonauli se Kathmandu and kathmandu se Pokhra Nepal and Pokhra to Gorakhpur Pokhra Sarngkot bhi car ko le ke gaya tha.
I need your suggestion.... I am planning a group tour from 7 - 17 October. So, as I saw your video you suggest to visit this whole circuit during the first two weeks of October due to snowfall on 2 high passes. I just want to ask this - 1. Shall I start the tour from Manali - Kaza - Shimla because I will be starting in the 2nd week of the October and I better cross main high passes in first 3-4 days. 2. Is it possible to do this tour in 5 days, including 1 or 2 days trek? 3. Which is easy/moderate trek you suggest on this tour? Please suggest. Thanks.
Here are my inputs: 1. That is a good way to do it. Usually first two weeks are generally OK but if you do it that way, you take the risk out. 2. It will get rushed buddy. Treks you can do in Spiti Valley. Like a day or two village trek in Spiti after you acclimatize. You may do Langza to Komic.
Thanks for this great video. We are planning a spiti trip next week. Was planning from manali but looks like the route from Manali is closed now. Thinking of Shimla route now. Is it open now? And can we rent bikes from Shimla and do this trip?
Yes the route is open from Shimla side.. it closes open due to frequent landslides but mostly they clear it in a day.. NigulSari village landslide point is closed from 11 AM to 1 PM so time your exit from it accordingly
Heave rains are pedicted in this week in the lower hills by Met department both from Shimla side as well as Manali side. Hence, I will suggest that if you are planning now, better postpone it to next month September which is much safer
Superb information Dheeraj Sir. I am going to Spiti Valley in First week of October from Shimla side . I am traveling with my wife and 6 year old son.I will be reaching Chandra taal on 10th October . Will there be any problems.
Just check the weather on the day you are leaving for Chandratal lake and also confirm if camps are present or not. Best is to avoid night stay up there due to cold conditions and kids with you. Rest it is doable
Thank you for the wonderfully explained detailed video Dheeraj Bhai ... I'm a avid follower of your blogs and it helped a lot during my Ladakh trip I'm going to visit Kinnaur Spiti this October 2nd week.. will follow your 1st itinerary, only instead of Delhi it'll be to and from Chandigarh as I'm travelling from Kolkata Can u please help with an estimate of taxi cost approximately?? From Chandigarh will take Volvo to Shimla.. but from Shimla till drop at Manali I have to arrange a car with some well known driver, I've got some references from your blog... Just wanted to understand the budget for taxi
Thank you bhai and so happy to know that my blogs and these videos were helpful. Budget will be around 3800-4000 per day bhai if you hire experienced drivers from Kinnaur and Spiti who have experience of driving in these hills. However, the drivers from Shimla may come cheaper like 3300-3500 per day but mostly they have less experience of driving in Spiti Kinnaur routes.
even though going to Spiti via Shimla side slowly following recommended low altitude stops and gradually increasing altitude it shall be fine but still check these two videos of mine Q29. Can I take my 2-3-year-old kid or baby to Leh Ladakh trip? [Ladakh Trip Infant Baby] ruclips.net/video/iebvgoe71nw/видео.html Q30. Can I take my 5-10-year-old kid to Leh Ladakh trip?

Hey , it was a great video, pretty informative ! I am planning to visit Spiti in mid October and I initially want to cover Shimla - Spiti - Manali by Himalyan. Would you recommend to take this route as winters are round the corner and I'm mostly concerned about the chandratal lake to Manali route , I suspect it might get close either due to landslides or snowfall
@@discoverwithdheeraj hey , thank you for replying I am planning on to visit Spiti around the 8th of November. I'm trying to go about Chandigarh -shimla -spiti -Manali . I hope I could visit chandratal lake and make my way Manali from there
@@pratiksharma4204 bhai it will be very risky to travel to Chandratal in this time of the year and so will be risky to travel on Kaza Manali route. I do not recommend traveling up there beyond Kaza after October/middle of October because chances of getting stuck in case of snowfall becomes very high
Hi , Thank you so much for this detailed spiti valley itenary ♥️ i have a small question regarding Rohtang Pass I just want to travel to Sissu via Rohtang Pass from Manali and return from sissu to Manali via Atal Tunnel the same day (so that i can experience both atal tunnel as well as rohtang pass) . wil i need a beyond Rohtang pass permit ? Will be travelling on a two wheeler .any suggestions on this would be really helpful 🙏
Yes because you are traveling in direction from Manali to Rohtang. It is better that go to Sissu via Atal Tunnel and come back via Rohtang Pass. No permit needed then 😀
Kindly let me know can I complete itinerary from Shimla to Manali via kalpa kaza chadartal in nine days instead of 10 days as u explained in this vdo. Kindly reply

can we travel on 19 july in sacch pass
Can I travel such way by i10 car
It is a rainy forecast next week which will mean trouble up there in Pangi Valley and most roads may have swollen water crossings around Sach Pass
I don’t really recommend traveling by small car from Kaza to Manali. However if you go from Shimla side and come back the same, it shall be doable
Bhai also tell about risk of high altitude sickness/low oxygen places in the trip if any....
Very nice and very informative for tour planning, short and crisp information provided.

Thanks for such a knowledgeable video. I always look forward for your videos and rely on these posts. Can you please suggest good clean and hygienic but eco homestays on this route. Thanks
thank you bhai.. glad it is all helpful.. here is the link: devilonwheels.com/spiti-valley-homestays/
@@discoverwithdheeraj thanks again Dheeraj bhai . 🙏
Hi, you make amazing informative videos. I have a question. In this video I could see ice capped mountains everywhere. On which dates these videos were shot as I feel the view is best at this time and also there is no ice on the roads hence its safe to go on a non 4x4 car.
Virat bhai these videos are a mix.. But April-May is a good time to visit Spiti Valley in case you want to experience snow and don't want snow to be on the roads.
Thanks a lot Dheeraj. I will be traveling on Shimla-Kinnaur-Kaza-Chandrataal-Manali trip next week. This video has come at the perfect time for me. Now I dont have to pick up pen and paper and make any kind of itinerary.
Thank you Mandeep, am so happy that it came right at the time for you and will be mighty useful as you can follow it to the tee 😀
Mandeep Sharma we r also traveling the same rout next week with bike group hope u see there...
@@bhart610 sure bhai. Lets hope for that
Dheeraj ji..What is possibility winter travel ( November last week)Simla to kaza ..and what or how much distance can go spithi from Simla side…easy risk less travel…
You're doing a great job Dheeraj through these videos. Keep up the good work!
Glad you like them! Sorry, I was not online for last few months. Took a break but now slowly resuming life online and this channel again.
Dheeraj Bhai thanks a lot for detailed videos. How is the situation with EV charging station or at hotels. Pls advise
Dheeraj ji bahut helpful video hai aapki kaafi help millegi travel karne walo ko☺️🙏

@@discoverwithdheeraj thank you☺️☺️
Good detailed video @dheeraj. I hv one qus like , in year 2022 what is the best month to follow ur first itinery, means going from shimla and coming from kunjum-rohtang-manali.
June to mid of July and September to middle of October
Thanks for sharing this video. Is it possible to do this tour in 8/9 days from Delhi? What should be cut in that case? And will that result in very long drives?
You can skip Sangla/Chitkul and go straight to Kalpa and then Tabo. Also you can skip night stay at Pin Valley and move to Kaza after Tabo. However like you said, it will surely make it a bit hectic.
Hello sir, very interesting & superb information shared, thanks a lot, all spiti valley video are very useful for me , myself and my husband like to do trekking also in these spiti valley, could you please let me know some information about gud homestay or gud hotel as we don't want to stay in tent

Can we do Shimla - Manali circuit in June 1st??
Yes you can do Shima Spiti Manali in June first week 😀
@@discoverwithdheeraj thanks for the update 😁
I have become your fan for the way you share detailed information... My Mind has changed and i am planning to go from Shimla side... Planning to start from Chandigarh in morning where can i reach and have night stay... Awaiting your guidance...
Thank you so much bhai, means a lot to me that these videos are proving helpful. It is a good decision to go via Shimla side and since you are starting from Chandigarh, you can probably make it to either Narkanda for easy drive a stretch a bit to Sarahan.
Awesome itenary can you please tell me best time to visit spiti I am planning from 30th April to may 9 from Shimla to spiti me and my wife travelling on bike is it safe to travel at that time
Thanks for making this video. It's very informative!
Can you share your opinion on doing Spiti in April end/ early May? I understand it will have to be from Shimla side. Would most places you mentioned in the video be accessible? How about Chandratal? What can expected in terms of the weather and road conditions?
Also if one wants to do a relaxed visit and not shift accomodation every night, what are the best places to spend 2 nights in and soak in the surroundings?
Appreciate your help!
Early May, it may be possible that even Chandratal is also accessible as snow is less this year but nothing certain as you know with these places. Weather will be fine in May but cold in Spiti especially with morning and nights and high villages.
How many total days do you have in hand?
Thanks for the reply@@discoverwithdheeraj
Yes, you are right about the weather. Yesterday I spoke with a homestay owner in Kaza and he said there has been less snow this year, so he expects things to open up sooner this year. But at the same time I was checking AccuWeather and it was predicting snowfall during end April. So one can never be fully sure about the weather in the mountains :)
We have 8 days in total. Starting point is Chd. I am hoping to spend the second night in Tabo or even Kaza if possible. So taking out 4 days for two and fro travel, we will have 4 days to spend in Spiti valley. The goal is to spend time in places that allow for a bit slow travel experience with great views, light walks/treks. I was thinking of Pin valley as well, either Tailing or Mudh. The other place could be Langza or Ki/Kibber. Definitely want to avoid staying in Kaza though we will visit to check out the bazar.
Will appreciate your suggestions and guidance on this rough plan.
I am sorry, I missed it. Well, you should stay at Tabo first before Kaza. Then go to Pin Valley after visitng Dhankar. You can stay further ahead of Kaza at Rangrik and make it the base.
धन्यवाद धीरज भाई इस सीरीज के सभी विडियो मे आपने स्पीति के बारे मे अच्छी जानकारी दी है एक विडियो आप अलग से कहा पर रुके ओर लंच डिनर कहा अच्छा मिलता है अपने अनुभव के आधार पर आप

Hai Dheeraj jiii very useful information 🙏🙏🙏 just want to know normally how will be the road and climate conditions in second half of August Can we complete the circuit from Shimla side?
Please check this video of mine: ruclips.net/video/t76f-poOHyQ/видео.html
Can you provide your this episode in book formate? It will be of great help.
this is available on my blog, devilonwheels.com and there is a link in the description as well for the article
Truly awesome and extremely well researched and informative. We’re planning to visit between 14th Aug to 22nd Aug (9 days) from Chandigarh. Can you suggest how to cut down a day from your itinerary which is for 10 days. Will prefer entry from Simla and exit from Manali. Thanks a lot.
You can skip Kalpa or Sangla/Chitkul. From Narkanda go to Kalpa directly and skip that day
Bhai this is what I was searching ♥️ thank you..just wanted to know is kaza to Manali road will be open in april last week
Thanks for the detailed information. Is there any rental self drive suv service for Spiti valley round trip in July 2022 ?
Thanks in advance.
You can rent it from Volr/Zoomcar type of services from Chandigarh or Delhi
My queries for a road trip, self driven couple, to Spiti Valley. Wish for easy relaxing trip- Shimla side.
1. Most suitable month for trip.
2. Is KIGER (Renault) car good for the trip.
3. Do you get mechanics on way.
4. How to book hotel accommodation for stay..
5. Should one carry food and petrol.
Thanks.
Col Verma (Retd)
Here are the replies:
1. Best month will be after 5th September.
2. You can take that car but then you need to be careful on the Manali Kaza road.
3. You get mechanics till Kaza from Shimla every few 100 KMs but between Kaza and Manali/Solang there will not be any mechanics.
4. For stays options in Spiti Valley, please refer following:
Good Hotels/Stays in Spiti Kinnaur: discoverwithdheeraj.com/good-hotels-accommodation-spiti-valley-kinnaur-valley/
Good Authentic Homestays: discoverwithdheeraj.com/spiti-valley-homestays/
5. Food you get on the way at most places and Petrol, you will not get between Kaza to Manali.
Thanks a lot. You have been very helpful.
@alokverma6604 happy to help
Is this trip safe for 5 years old kids ? Would they be ok while travelling health-wise?
Well, traveling to Spiti via Shimla side helps a lot in acclimatization but idea is that you go slowly like described in the itinerary in the video. Plus you all must be hydrated all the time properly and avoid sleeping at high altitude places like high villages and Chandratal lake to be on safe side with kids and adults. Also plz check Q30. Can I take my 5-10-year-old kid to Leh Ladakh trip? [Ladakh Trip with Kids]
ruclips.net/video/-nhWSSkQJjc/видео.html
It is made for Ladakh but quite applicable to any high altitude place
Hi sir thankyou for the itinerary.. inam planning to visit the 1st itinerary in 2nd week of oct. Will it be fine or the road (kaza - manali)will be closed?
And 2nd ques is do i need to hire a personal car or there will be local transport or traveller during 2nd week of October?
Looking for a reply..
And thanks for this video 😊
It should be ok, just that before leaving Kaza check the weather update and then leave on that route
You can get in touch with local taxi drivers for bookings, link on my blog. Local transport will also be there but limit your ability to do sightseeing and take pictures on the way. Plus some places you need to rely on hitchhiking
Thank you so much 🙏😊
Good job bro love from panchkula haryana
Thanks so much bhai
I am interested in this tour in the month of May 2022, please revert ASAP.
Bhai I do not sell any tours. If someone tells you otherwise, they are fooling you under my name and I have no relation to such people. Some have made identical spelling brands too but there is only one original “Devil on Wheels” and we don’t sell any tours, just share information that too for free…
@@discoverwithdheeraj thanks
@Dheeraj: Thank you for such informative videos. I am wondering if you have some info about accomodations at Mud village in Pin Valley. I only found Tara guesthouse and they do not have availability on the dates we travel.. What can be nearest alternatives?
May be Sonam Homestay +919418441453 or Check with Tsering bhai +91 94182 08987, +91 70187 31609, +91 89887 78987 for any Kinnaur Spiti tour and travel services including stay at Pin Valley. He is a pioneer in the region and also runs 2-3 hotels and homestays there in Kaza.
Hello sir! great itinerary and I’ll definitely be following the shimla to shimla route. Thing is I might only have 9 days instead of 10, what can I remove from the itinerary, considering I want to stay in mud village one night.
You can skip the extra day in Kinnaur when exploring Chikul. Spend half a day next day and move to next destination on Day 8
@Dheeraj bhai: Do we get accommodation in Mud village neat PIN VALLEY or we have to stay in some other place on Day 5 end (Plan 1)?
Hi Dheeraj, extremely informative and clearly explained video
We are 2 families that plan to go to Spiti in May
Is 2nd and 3rd week of may a good time to visit Spiti? via the Shimla/Narkhanda route. We will be travelling with Kids . What does one need to prepare for?
Should we expect more chances of road closures in May as compared to June? Will it be ok to book hotel/homestay on the fly or pre-book?
Thanks in advance :)
May is a good time to travel Punit, you should be OK to book homestays on fly if you are OK to search a bit.. nowadays lot of people travel during summer holidays and hence you may need to search a bit but I do not believe that you wont get them on spot, you will but with some effort and searching.
@@discoverwithdheeraj Dheeraj Bhai, again thanks for the prompt reply. I am planning to do Spiti via shimla route and back also that way. I read your blog as well on the same in addition to the video. The pdf is very helpful. I have a very fundamental question... In the route that you have described there are multiple days where we have more than 8 hrs of drive... I was just wondering that the time you have mentioned is just the non stop travel time or it covers multiple sight seeing points as well
I plan to connect to the local drivers as well that you have mentioned on your other video
We plan to hire a tempo traveler as we are 2 families in all
Punit bhai, the time I have mentioned covers time of stops on the way as well. It is not 100% non-stop travel time but includes somewhat sightseeing and couple of necessary breaks. Sounds good, yes for two families Tempo Traveler will be better for traveling together
@@discoverwithdheeraj Dheeraj Bhai - after following your itinerary, we have tentatively finalised the below plan. This was done considering we are traveling with Kids and the fact that we dont want to pack/unpack everyday. We have planned for 2 nights in Sangla and2 Nights in Tabo (instead of Kalpa and Pin-Valley). Please suggest or let us know if we need to modify. We are in touch with a few drivers you have recommended and most of them have said that Manali route will open by first week of May (we will be in Kaza in last week of May)
Will eagerly wait for your feedback :) and thanks again.. your blogs and websites are so useful
Day 1: (Mumbai) Chandigarh to Shimla (reach Shimla at 9 pm)
Day 2: Shimla to Sangla (via Sarahan)
Day 3: Sangla - Chitkul - Sangla (change of itinerary to have 2 nights in Sangla)
Day 4: Sangla - Kalpa - Nako - Nako Lake - Geyu - Tabo
Day 5: Tabo - Dhankar = Dhankar Lake - Pin Valley - Tabo (change of itinerary to have 2 nights in Tabo)
Day 6: Tabo / Pin valley - Kaza - Ki - Kibber - Gette - Tashigang - Kaza
Day 7: Kaza - Langza - Komik - Hikkim - Kaza
Day 8: Kaza - Kunzum Pass - Chandrataal
Day 9: Battal/Chandrataal - Kunzumpass - RohtangPass - Manali
Day 10: Manali / Buffer Day
Day 11: Manali - Delhi (overnight bus)
Day 12: Delhi - Mumbai
for 10 day tour " Shimla side and ending at Manali with full circuit", Do I need to hire taxi from Shimla for the entire trip or can we hire separate taxis from places of stay? Shall we book hotels and taxis ourselves or through travel agencies? Please suggest.
Well, you can do t hat but it will be inconvenient. Your taxi driver can help you in finding places to stay on spot as well. You can get in touch with local drivers at the link here: devilonwheels.com/list-of-taxi-drivers-for-spiti-valley-kinnaur-valley/
Hi... I completely agree and understand why you are getting so much love from your subscribers and followers... Not only you make useful videos, but also address to all the doubts and clarify them... I have a silly doubt regarding the same (Itinerary 1)...
As per your itinerary the following are the places where we are supposed to halt at night:
Night 1: Shimla...
Night 2: Chitkul...
Night 3: Kalpa...
Night 4: Tabo...
Night 5: Pin Valley (Mud Village)...
Night 6: Kaza
Night 7: Kaza
Night 8: Chandrapal / Battal
Night 9: Manali
Night 10: Delhi
Apart from Shimla, Manali and Delhi can you suggest us some budget stays in Spiti???
Thank you in Advance and keep Shining 🌟🌟
I will recommend not to sleep at Chitkul but sleep at Sangla or Rakcham on second night and then visit Chitkul in day time. But avoid night sleep up there. Rest looks good.

I am planning a trip to Spiti in May end this year. Your video said to proceed from Shimla to Sangla on Day 2. If on Day 2 I go to Sarahan from Shimla via Narkanda, will that be practical?
Yes, that is completely practical and can be easily done
wanted to visit spiti but looks kinnaur is not safe these days. btw your videos are very detailed and well explained. Thanks!!! 🙂
Thanks Kamal, glad they were helpful
@@discoverwithdheeraj I heared inner line permit is not required now is it true? and any other thing required other than the rtpcr?
As of last week Leh dc office was still issuing Permit and asking folks to do so. I believe on the new rule more clarity is yet to come so it will be safe to apply it. All this if you are talking about Ladakh. For Spiti you never needed ILP being Indian.
Is WagonR suitable for Spiti trip?
It will struggle on Manali Kaza road rest it can do
Thanks dheeraj bhai... Plz share us if we wanna camping with family after Delhi... Where is the safest places for self camping with our own tent in spiti as per your itinerary ...

Dada, we are planning to visit Spiti on October from Kolkata. We will start from Shimla. I just wanted your suggestion - Kya HRTC k bus se Spiti acchi tarha ghum sakte hai? Ya fir bike hire karna better rahega.. ? Because hum 2log hi jayenge.
October ko Spiti ka rasta khula rahege k nehi iss ko lekar bhi confusion hai.. because of the 3rd stream of Covid.
Ocotber mein raaste to open rehte hain. Aap Spiti Shimla aur Manali dono side se jaa sakte ho aur buses Kaza k liye bhi mil jayengi. Spiti k andar thoda buses kam chalti hain to aapko thodi bahut hitch hike karke ya lift maang kar ya fer local jeeps jo chalti hain wahan villagers k liye unko use karna hoga.
First of all, thank you very much for these informative videos. We are planning to visit mainly Spity valley from Chandigargh. Our plan is for 7 days, like
Day 1: Chandigarh to Sarahan (275 km)
Day 2: Sarahan to Nako(~175 km) night stay at Nako
Day 3: Nako to Kaza (~115 km) Dhankar Monastery, pin valley
Day 4: Kaza side scenes (Langza, ki monastery)
Day 5: Kaza to Chandratal and nigh stay at Batal
Day 6: Batal to Manali (~110 km)
Day 7: Manali to Chandigarh (~280 km)
Is this plan possible? please suggest me.
Here is my suggestion:
Day 1: Chandigarh to Sarahan
Day 2: Sarahan - Nako - Chango (Nako may hit you with AMS, so sleep at Chango)
Day 3: Chango - Tabo - Dhankar - Pin Valley - Kaza
Day 4: Kaza - Hikkim - Komic - Langza - Ki - Kibber
Day 5: Kibber - Chicham - Chandratal and night stay at Batal
Day 6: Batal to Manali
Day 7: Manali to Chandigarh

Can I install my tent in anywhere in itinerary or is there any restriction on some areas for camping?
Looking for your quick response.
All the best for your future videos👍
Except at the Chandratal Lake, there is no restriction to pitch the camp in Spiti Valley. At Chandratal Lake, you can pitch them at designated camping sites only. I am working on a detailed video right now and will also be publishing tips for camping in Spiti Valley next week :)

Great video sir! 💕Just 2 questions: if we return from Shimla side then chandartaal lake is missing from iternary..can we add that too? 2nd question: will there be no problem in self drive small hatchback if shimla route is opted for both ways like inside spiti valley or somewhere in mid of shimla route? Thanks in advance 😁
Thanks a lot Darpan, here are my replies:
1. Yes, you will need one day more to add or adjust to make a trip to Chandratal lake. Let me know if you need help in suggesting for any modifications
2. You should not have much issue in small car all the way to Losar - Kunzum Pass. Main problem is beyond that up to Grapmhu
@@discoverwithdheeraj Thanks for reply sir...I'm okay with 1st point.
Regarding 2nd point: Gramphu will come in Manali route right?..I'm talking about Shimla route and return from Shimla route itself..I hope in that route and inside spiti like Kaza..hikim..Chandartaal Lake..my hatchback will do the job without problems. Please confirm Sir...Thanks in advance.
So till Kaza there should not be an issue. Mostly within Spiti there should not be an issue. Chandratal lies beyond Kunzum pass and there will be issues with hatchback car driving on that route. Mu suggestion is that only for Chandratal lake visit you rent a taxi in Kaza, do the trip come back to Kaza and pick your car to return to Shimla
HI Dheeraj. I am planning to do this circuit from Pune in coming mid Aug. 1st question, is mid aug advisable considering there were many landslides a month back. 2) My wife gets very scared of heights so i want to avoid the suicide point one route - so which route to take 3) I want to give 6-7 days post leaving shimla and then enter back via manali - so what circuit should i plan.

I need your suggestion....
I am planning a group tour from 7 - 17 October.
So, as I saw your video you suggest to visit this whole circuit during the first two weeks of October due to snowfall on 2 high passes.
I just want to ask this -
1.
Shall I start the tour from Manali - Kaza - Shimla because I will be starting in the 2nd week of the October and I better cross main high passes in first 3-4 days.
2. Is it possible to do this tour in 5 days, including 1 or 2 days trek?
3. Which is easy/moderate trek you suggest on this tour?
Please suggest.
Thanks.
Here are my inputs:
1. That is a good way to do it. Usually first two weeks are generally OK but if you do it that way, you take the risk out.
2. It will get rushed buddy. Treks you can do in Spiti Valley. Like a day or two village trek in Spiti after you acclimatize. You may do Langza to Komic.
@@discoverwithdheeraj Thanks a lot 🙏 You are so helpful.
My pleasure buddy
Thanks for this great video. We are planning a spiti trip next week. Was planning from manali but looks like the route from Manali is closed now. Thinking of Shimla route now. Is it open now? And can we rent bikes from Shimla and do this trip?
Yes the route is open from Shimla side.. it closes open due to frequent landslides but mostly they clear it in a day.. NigulSari village landslide point is closed from 11 AM to 1 PM so time your exit from it accordingly
Is it possible to travel in spiti - kaza- kunzum pass- chandratal lake in May 3rd-4th wk in 2023 ?????
Most likely the road to Chandratal should open by April end
Is it safe to travel in August or should have postponed it to sept plz answer
Heave rains are pedicted in this week in the lower hills by Met department both from Shimla side as well as Manali side. Hence, I will suggest that if you are planning now, better postpone it to next month September which is much safer
@@discoverwithdheeraj thank u brother
Superb information Dheeraj Sir.
I am going to Spiti Valley in First week of October from Shimla side . I am traveling with my wife and 6 year old son.I will be reaching Chandra taal on 10th October . Will there be any problems.
Just check the weather on the day you are leaving for Chandratal lake and also confirm if camps are present or not. Best is to avoid night stay up there due to cold conditions and kids with you. Rest it is doable
Thank you for the wonderfully explained detailed video Dheeraj Bhai ... I'm a avid follower of your blogs and it helped a lot during my Ladakh trip
I'm going to visit Kinnaur Spiti this October 2nd week.. will follow your 1st itinerary, only instead of Delhi it'll be to and from Chandigarh as I'm travelling from Kolkata
Can u please help with an estimate of taxi cost approximately?? From Chandigarh will take Volvo to Shimla.. but from Shimla till drop at Manali I have to arrange a car with some well known driver, I've got some references from your blog... Just wanted to understand the budget for taxi
Thank you bhai and so happy to know that my blogs and these videos were helpful. Budget will be around 3800-4000 per day bhai if you hire experienced drivers from Kinnaur and Spiti who have experience of driving in these hills. However, the drivers from Shimla may come cheaper like 3300-3500 per day but mostly they have less experience of driving in Spiti Kinnaur routes.
We are planning to visit Spiti valley next year end of May or 1st week of June. So please suggest a 10days plan from Chandigarh to Chandigarh
Biman ji, you can follow the plan as described in the video above.
Do you recommend trip with family . I have kids of 4 year and 8 year.
even though going to Spiti via Shimla side slowly following recommended low altitude stops and gradually increasing altitude it shall be fine but still check these two videos of mine
Q29. Can I take my 2-3-year-old kid or baby to Leh Ladakh trip? [Ladakh Trip Infant Baby]

Hey , it was a great video, pretty informative !
I am planning to visit Spiti in mid October and I initially want to cover Shimla - Spiti - Manali by Himalyan.
Would you recommend to take this route as winters are round the corner and I'm mostly concerned about the chandratal lake to Manali route , I suspect it might get close either due to landslides or snowfall
Sorry, I was not online for last few months. Took a break but now slowly resuming life online and this channel again.
@@discoverwithdheeraj hey , thank you for replying
I am planning on to visit Spiti around the 8th of November. I'm trying to go about Chandigarh -shimla -spiti -Manali . I hope I could visit chandratal lake and make my way Manali from there
@@pratiksharma4204 bhai it will be very risky to travel to Chandratal in this time of the year and so will be risky to travel on Kaza Manali route. I do not recommend traveling up there beyond Kaza after October/middle of October because chances of getting stuck in case of snowfall becomes very high
Hi , Thank you so much for this detailed spiti valley itenary ♥️
i have a small question regarding Rohtang Pass
I just want to travel to Sissu via Rohtang Pass from Manali and return from sissu to Manali via Atal Tunnel the same day (so that i can experience both atal tunnel as well as rohtang pass) . wil i need a beyond Rohtang pass permit ? Will be travelling on a two wheeler .any suggestions on this would be really helpful 🙏
Yes because you are traveling in direction from Manali to Rohtang. It is better that go to Sissu via Atal Tunnel and come back via Rohtang Pass. No permit needed then 😀
@@discoverwithdheeraj thanks so much 🙏

Kindly let me know can I complete itinerary from Shimla to Manali via kalpa kaza chadartal in nine days instead of 10 days as u explained in this vdo. Kindly reply
Yes Harry you can do it. Skip the part of one day in Kinnaur Valley, either kalpa or sangla
One question more plz.. is it ok to make itinerary from 15 June in context of rainy weather.
Kindly reply ❤️🙏
Mid June is mostly god time. Sometimes premonsoon showers create problems in lower hills but on weather we don’t have much control
Thanks to respond Mr dheeraj ji
