SPITI VALLEY BIKE TRIP
8 NIGHTS / 9 DAYS
Overview
Spiti- The middle-land between the lush green valleys and the cold mountain deserts of Himalayas. A perfect fusion of landscapes that would leave one in awe and roads that will thrill! The best time to explore this gem of nature is from June- September when the glacial lakes will welcome you in all their glory and the flora and fauna will excite the nature lover in you. You'll notice the landscape change from shades of green to brown as you ride on. When you finally enter Spiti Valley you’ll realize that it is much more than just a picturesque place of Himalayas. There’s an abundance of rich Buddhist-Tibetan culture that resides in the serrated villages of Spiti. All this wonder, packed in nine days is something you'd carry with you throughout your life - as a trophy, as a chronicle.
