Day 1: Manali
Begin the spectacular overland safari to Spiti. Drive along the Beas River upstream along the true left bank through the villages of Bhang and Palchan, the last inhabited village in the Kulu Valley beyond Manali.
Day 2: Drive from Lossar To Kaza
Drive through the villages of Hansa, Kyato, Pangmo, Hal, Morang, Murling, Khyurik and Rangrik to reach Kaza. You get awesome views of Ki gompa from Morang village across the Spiti river. Cross the Spiti river just 2 km. before Kaza and drive along the true left bank of the river. Camp is set near the helipad after crossing Kaza, the district headquarters of Spiti valley.
Day 3 : Day trip to KI Gompa and Kimbbar Village
3 to 4 hours drive: In the morning drive to see Ki, a beautiful gompa perched high on a pyramid-like mountain, belongs to the Gelug-pa sect of Tibetan Buddhism and has almost 40 resident monks practicing meditation and other monastic rituals. Its main temple the Dhukhang has some of the best murals, well preserved statues and thangkhas depicting different life stories of Guru Padmasambhava, the founder of Gelug-pa sect.
Day 4: Drive from Kaza to Shichilling via Lhalung and Tabo
7 hours: After an early breakfast drive downstream along the Spiti river for 21 km.. Take a left turn and climb steeply for about 17 km. to Lahlung, a small village consisting of a cluster of 50 to 60 houses with a population of 250 inhabitants. Lahlung gompa, which is situated on top of the village, is invisible from the road. Leave your vehicles and climb for about 15 minutes to the gompa.
Day 5: Drive from Shilling To Dhankar and Pin Valley
After an early breakfast drive 8.5 km. on the link road and climb steeply to Dhankar, a most incredibly-situated gompa, perched high on barren rocky mountain slopes. As you progress, the whole of Dhankar village opens up in front of you like something artificial cropping up from nowhere. Park your vehicles at the beginning of the village and walk for about half an hour past mud houses on to your right and fields to the left with the Spiti river flowing down below.
Day 6: Drive from Pin to Lossar via Kaza
Retrace the route back to Lossar via Kaza. Prepare for your onward journey to Ladakh.
Day 7: Drive from Lossar to Jispa
Following the Chandra river the journey takes you to its confluence with the Bhaga, which joins to form the Chenab, one of the biggest tributaries of the Indus. Following the Bhaga upstream, the road goes past Keylong, the district headquarters, and on to Jispa, where camp is set for the night.
Day 8: Drive from Jispa to Pang
From Jispa a level stretch leads to the checkpost at Darcha from where the road begins a steady and at times steep ascent up the Bhaga river. The clear morning air lends a sharpness to the snow mountains, visible at the head of the valley. The road crosses large meadows such as Zingzingbar and on to the Baralacha la (16,020 ft/ 4,883 m).
Day 9: Drive from Pang to Stok
From camp the road goes via Debring, a big Indian army post, and climbs up to the Tanglang la (17,475 ft/5,328 m), the highest point on the journey. At the top is a tiny temple with a few prayer flags rustling in the breeze - a constant feature up here.Descend into a narrow valley past small villages with green patches that stand out like oases up to Upshi, where the Indus river is approached. The road follows the Indus past relatively fertile and prosperous villages and large Buddhist monasteries up to the Ladakh Sarai, situated in a tranquil willow grove on the grounds of Stok Palace, home of the royal family of Ladakh.
