MANALI TO SPITI

One road, many landscapes: from pine valleys to the high desert.

The journey climbs from Manali through the Atal Tunnel toward Sissu, where waterfalls and wide valley views make a natural first pause. Farther on, the road grows quieter and the landscape more open, with long stretches of mountain scenery between small settlements.

Chandratal is the centrepiece: a high-altitude lake reached by a rugged road and a short walk. The route then crosses Kunzum Pass toward Kaza, where monasteries, villages and the dramatic Spiti landscape reward a slower pace. Exact stops depend on season, road access and weather.

THE EXPERIENCE

High passes, a bright blue lake & Spiti's quiet villages

Manali Chandratal Kunzum Pass Kaza
DAY BY DAY

From Manali to Spiti,
one high pass at a time.

A sample of the route; final stops and travel days depend on season and road conditions.

Set out from Manali and travel through the Atal Tunnel into Lahaul. The scenery opens around Sissu, with time to stop by the waterfall and take in the valley before continuing to your overnight stay.

Keep the first day unhurried and allow time for the altitude and mountain roads. Settle in early, eat well and rest before the higher sections of the journey.

Continue toward the high country and cross Kunzum Pass when it is open. The road to Chandratal is rough and conditions can change quickly, so keep the day flexible and follow local guidance.

From the parking area, walk the final stretch to the lake and give yourself time to enjoy the view without rushing. Overnight arrangements near the lake are seasonal; otherwise, continue to a confirmed stay nearby.

Leave the lake area and descend toward the Spiti Valley, stopping for views and a meal along the way. The long drive passes remote settlements and dramatic mountain terrain before reaching Kaza.

Check in and keep the rest of the day easy. At this altitude, a quiet evening and plenty of water are more useful than trying to fit in another long excursion.

Use the day to explore Kaza and, subject to access and timing, visit a nearby monastery such as Key Monastery. The buildings sit high above the valley and offer a glimpse into the region's living Buddhist traditions.

This is a high-altitude route, not a race between landmarks. Keep buffer time for weather, road closures and acclimatisation, and confirm the return leg before setting out.
