The Journey

The Summer Spiti Circuit Expedition is a premium motorcycle trip through the high-altitude desert of North-Eastern Himachal Pradesh. Moving from the alpine forests of Kinnaur valley up to the barren lunar terrains of Spiti Valley, it provides an unparalleled test of adventure, survival, and breathtaking views.

We cover exclusive regions including the restricted Shipki La route (12,894 ft), visit the cliff-perched Dhankar monastery, explore Chitkul (the last village near the Indo-Tibet border), and reach Tashigang (world's highest polling station at 15,256 ft) along with the sacred crescent-shaped **Chandratal Lake**.
