3-Day Spiti Valley Adventure Itinerary

Begin your day with a visit to Tabo Monastery, one of the oldest monasteries in Spiti Valley, often referred to as the 'Ajanta of the Himalayas' due to its ancient murals and frescoes. After soaking in the spiritual atmosphere, have breakfast at Cafe Kunzum Top located nearby.

Drive towards Dhankar Village, home to Dhankar Monastery, which is precariously perched on a cliff overlooking the confluence of Spiti and Pin Rivers. Explore this ancient monastery and enjoy breathtaking views of the valley below. Have lunch at Dhankar Retreat, offering local delicacies with stunning views.

In the evening, return to Tabo and explore more of this quaint village. Visit local shops or take a peaceful walk along Tabo's scenic trails. For dinner, head to Maitreya Cafe, known for its warm hospitality and delicious Tibetan dishes.

Start early from Kaza towards Chandratal Lake, also known as 'Moon Lake'. The drive itself is an adventure through rugged terrains offering spectacular views. Upon arrival, take some time to absorb the beauty of this high-altitude lake surrounded by snow-capped peaks. Enjoy breakfast at Parasol Camps & Retreat near Chandratal.

Spend your afternoon hiking around Chandratal Lake or simply relaxing by its pristine waters. The area is perfect for photography enthusiasts looking to capture stunning landscapes. Have lunch at Spitian Delight Camp, which provides traditional meals amidst nature.

As evening approaches, set up camp near Chandratal Lake (if you are camping) or head back towards Kaza if you prefer more comfortable accommodations. Enjoy a serene evening under a starlit sky while having dinner at your campsite or back in Kaza at Rangrik Rang.
