About the Activity:
- The magnificence of Spiti can't be described in words, whether it's a writer's notion or a painter's fancy. Discover why Rudyard Kipling referred to Spiti as "a global inside a global" on our dream avenue adventure. The Spiti valley opens itself as you travel deeper into the difficult country, with its colorful monasteries, snow-capped mountains, small hamlets, glittering lakes, and the vistas that had been most useful in your Instagram feed.
- Sit on the remoted slopes of Spiti's best village, Komic, and take in the spectacular views of eagles, hawks, and vultures soaring over the sky. Spiti is a superpower pack for an adventure trip, from getting goosebumps when hunting for a 500-year-old self-mummified Buddhist monk's body at Gue to feeling the shivers while looking down on a tiny truck from Asia's highest suspended Chicham bridge.
