[@raykardhanesh]

can we travel on 19 july in sacch pass

[@ramsharan7981]

Can I travel such way by i10 car

[@discoverwithdheeraj]

It is a rainy forecast next week which will mean trouble up there in Pangi Valley and most roads may have swollen water crossings around Sach Pass

[@discoverwithdheeraj]

I don’t really recommend traveling by small car from Kaza to Manali. However if you go from Shimla side and come back the same, it shall be doable

My queries for a road trip, self driven couple, to Spiti Valley. Wish for easy relaxing trip- Shimla side. 1. Most suitable month for trip. 2. Is KIGER (Renault) car good for the trip. 3. Do you get mechanics on way. 4. How to book hotel accommodation for stay.. 5. Should one carry food and petrol. Thanks. Col Verma (Retd)

[@discoverwithdheeraj]

Here are the replies: 1. Best month will be after 5th September. 2. You can take that car but then you need to be careful on the Manali Kaza road. 3. You get mechanics till Kaza from Shimla every few 100 KMs but between Kaza and Manali/Solang there will not be any mechanics. 4. For stays options in Spiti Valley, please refer following: Good Hotels/Stays in Spiti Kinnaur: discoverwithdheeraj.com/good-hotels-accommodation-spiti-valley-kinnaur-valley/ Good Authentic Homestays: discoverwithdheeraj.com/spiti-valley-homestays/ 5. Food you get on the way at most places and Petrol, you will not get between Kaza to Manali.

I need your suggestion.... I am planning a group tour from 7 - 17 October. So, as I saw your video you suggest to visit this whole circuit during the first two weeks of October due to snowfall on 2 high passes. I just want to ask this - 1. Shall I start the tour from Manali - Kaza - Shimla because I will be starting in the 2nd week of the October and I better cross main high passes in first 3-4 days. 2. Is it possible to do this tour in 5 days, including 1 or 2 days trek? 3. Which is easy/moderate trek you suggest on this tour? Please suggest. Thanks.

[@discoverwithdheeraj]

Here are my inputs: 1. That is a good way to do it. Usually first two weeks are generally OK but if you do it that way, you take the risk out. 2. It will get rushed buddy. Treks you can do in Spiti Valley. Like a day or two village trek in Spiti after you acclimatize. You may do Langza to Komic.

Am planning for a bike trip for 14 days Chandigarh to Chandigarh or to Delhi. Am from Bangalore and tentative departure date from Bangalore will be from 12th evening Oct 2024. I planned to rent Himalayan either in Chandigarh or whichever the next destination either Shimla or Manali. I wanted to have a have a great trip and wanted to fully enjoy the nature and not in hurry. I know I cannot cover full Himachal in 14 days , but I wd like to do this in two trips. I need your help to provide me a best route plan with 2 options plan A and B. I wanted to be back in Bangalore on 29th. Your advise and guidance and support shall be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance for your help.

[@discoverwithdheeraj]

Thank you for appreciating my content.. and glad you find it helpful! I will highly recommend that you check: Why avoid Manali to Kaza Road in October or Chandratal Trip in October? [5 Must-Know Reasons] kzbin.info/www/bejne/f32ThaypdtSqgJo Well, like I said in my video on Manali Kaza Road in October is risky to travel especially after middle of October. There are chances of getting stuck due to sudden snowfall more and more after middle of October. However, in the first two weeks of October, even though snowfall can happen and you can get stuck, but probability is less if I compare with second half of October. Hence, if you are traveling in first two weeks on Manali - Kaza road then don’t plan to stay overnight in between Manali and Kaza, which means avoid overnight stay at Chandratal Lake. Go prepared with woolens because it will be cold up there especially mornings and evenings/nights. Carry food and water for at least couple of days. Finally, always check weather before leaving Manali or Kaza for the other side a day before your travel and avoid traveling in case weather predictions are bad. So, better to follow the other video and do Manali Kaza early in October..

Yes, you can start from Shimla and end at Shimla from Manali

[@amitvishwkarma3079]

[@discoverwithdheeraj]

Well, Amit, if you are planning it in September there is no point doing the same route again as MAnali Kaza road, in comparison, is in best shape in September mostly. So, you should not travel back to Shimla to waste days following the same route rather follow the first plan as-is mentioned in this video but with night stop at Losar or Kibber may be. Then doing Losar/Kibber to Chandratal Lake spend till afternoon at the lake and then take the Manali Kaza road to reach Manali or Sissu. Then you can continue to Delhi from Manali or Sissu. I hope that helps. Otherwise, share with me your current itinerary and I Will help you customized accordingly.

Hi Dheeraj, extremely informative and clearly explained video We are 2 families that plan to go to Spiti in May Is 2nd and 3rd week of may a good time to visit Spiti? via the Shimla/Narkhanda route. We will be travelling with Kids . What does one need to prepare for? Should we expect more chances of road closures in May as compared to June? Will it be ok to book hotel/homestay on the fly or pre-book? Thanks in advance :)

[@discoverwithdheeraj]

May is a good time to travel Punit, you should be OK to book homestays on fly if you are OK to search a bit.. nowadays lot of people travel during summer holidays and hence you may need to search a bit but I do not believe that you wont get them on spot, you will but with some effort and searching.

In the route that you have described there are multiple days where we have more than 8 hrs of drive... I was just wondering that the time you have mentioned is just the non stop travel time or it covers multiple sight seeing points as well I plan to connect to the local drivers as well that you have mentioned on your other video We plan to hire a tempo traveler as we are 2 families in all

Punit bhai, the time I have mentioned covers time of stops on the way as well. It is not 100% non-stop travel time but includes somewhat sightseeing and couple of necessary breaks. Sounds good, yes for two families Tempo Traveler will be better for traveling together

Can I do spiti trip with tata nano as i have done Ladakh in 2021 . Full circuit completed.

[@discoverwithdheeraj]

Sanjay, you will pretty much face similar condition mostly on Spiti route. The road between Kunzum Pass/Batal to Gramphu will be more challenging than any other road you may have already seen in Ladakh. So, that is the section where you need extra care but having said that Nanos have done Spiti circuit in the past. September second half will be ideal time for you to plan such a trip as water crossings are tamed.

April to first week of May is still cold up there in Kaza and around. You should surely carry winter clothing. It will be warm in lower hills, get cooler in Kinnaur but once you cross Tabo the temparatures can be in the range of near 0 or minus in the night and overcast days. - heavy woolen jacket or parka (windproof) - can be used on cold/overcast days, - woolen cap, - inner thermals, - fleece jacket, - heavy woolen clothing, - regular clothing, - woolen socks, - warm insulated shoes or trekking boots and, - sunglasses
