Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Spiti different from Ladakh?

Spiti is smaller, less commercialised, and more raw. It feels like discovering Ladakh before it became popular — genuinely remote and authentic.

Is road access guaranteed?

Spiti roads are dependent on snow clearing (June opening). We monitor conditions and may adjust start dates in early June.

Is the Chandratal camp included?

Yes — one of the highlights. We camp directly beside Chandratal Lake at 4,300m — one of the most stunning nights of the trip.
