10 Best things to do in Spiti Valley

Spiti Valley has so much to offer that you'll want to stay there for the rest of your life.

River Rafting: Call for Adventure

It is a must-do activity in the Spiti Valley if you're there. A trip along the Spiti and Pin rivers is an adventure you'll never forget, surrounded by snowy mountains, hilltop monasteries, and beautiful scenery. You may enjoy the sport's exhilaration while enjoying the calm of the mountains.

Pin Valley National Park: Admire the Flora and Fauna

There are many endangered species of animals and plants, including snow leopards, Siberian ibexes, Himalayan snow cocks, and Tibetan gazelles at this park in the Himalayas. There is so much to do in the area, from admiring the natural beauty to seeing wildlife, that you won't be able to keep track of time.

Trek to Dhankar Lake: Try the Thrill

Trekking to Dhankar Lake is one of the best things to do in Spiti Valley if you're searching for tranquillity and excitement. At 4,270 meters, this lake overlooks the Dhankar Monastery and is beholding. While the trek may be a bit difficult, the breathtaking views you'll be able to enjoy once you reach the top are well worth the effort.

Village of Giu: Visit The Mummy

Between Sumdo and Tabo, Giu is a small settlement accessed via an 8-kilometre climb on the route that branches off NH-22. One of the most famous activities in Spiti is to visit a shrine containing a 500-year-old mummy. A widely held belief holds that the mummified body is that of a meditating Lama.

Star Gazing: Enjoy the Captivating Sky

One of the most incredible things to do in Spiti is to gaze up at the stars, which is made possible by the high altitude of the communities, ranging from 10,000 to 15,000 feet above sea level. You'll see many stars if you sit and look up at the sky. You might even see a glimpse of a shooting star if you're lucky.

Chill by the Spiti River: Admire the beauty

Stop at a spot where the road meets the river and do nothing. Relax and take in all the splendour that Mother Nature has to offer. You can also throw rocks and pebbles from the river banks into the river. It's one of the best things to do in the Spiti Valley, making it one of the best things to see.

Nako village walk: Live through the mountains

Nako is a small hamlet in the Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh close to Spiti. Because of its proximity to Spiti, the village's natural surroundings are reminiscent of its tranquil mountains, wide-open meadows, and picturesque lake. The settlement, surrounded by mountains, is like a tangle of roads and byways. Spiti Valley's tranquillity and profound sojourn make this a must-do activity.

Yak Safari: Have the unique experience

Living and travelling like a local is an excellent to explore Spiti. If you’ve completed your trip and are looking for a new adventure, consider taking a local ride, such as a yak safari. It’s a great way to see the Valley and taste the local way of life.

Pay a visit to Buddhist monasteries.

Spiti is a popular tourist destination because it is a Buddhist religious and cultural hub. Numerous Buddhist monasteries are located around the Valley so you might spend time at any or all of them. It’s impossible not to be fascinated by the monasteries’ architecture, and the old murals that adorn their interiors. Most monasteries are open to tourists from early morning until around 5 or 6 p.m.

Camp under a blanket of stars

Most remote locations can find many of the world’s best night sky views. Campers, trekkers, and mountaineers alike will enjoy Spiti’s pollution-free place. Camping is best from April to June when the snow has melted, but the air is still cool, and the skies are clear. Dhankar Lake, Chandra-Tal, Komic Village, and the banks of the River Spiti are the most incredible places to camp overnight and stargaze.
