A motorcycle journey through Spiti is an adventure into one of the most remote and spectacular corners of the Himalayas. Riding high above the tree line, the route winds through vast barren valleys, ancient monasteries, remote villages and some of the world’s highest roads, with snow-capped peaks rising all around. Each day brings a new landscape and a sense of true exploration, from dramatic mountain passes and rough trails to moments of complete solitude on roads that disappear into the horizon. Spiti is raw, remote and unforgettable — a place where the journey itself becomes the adventure.

Check into your hotel by 2:00 PM to unpack and unwind. The evening features an on-site detailed brief and a welcome group dinner with the rest of your fellow riders.

We take a domestic flight from Delhi to Chandigarh. Upon arrival, a support vehicle transfers the group from the Punjab plains into the foothills of Himachal Pradesh. Most of the way up is on a wide highway that winds up the mountain. With a couple of

coffee and lunch breaks, we reach the hill town of Kufri, perched above Shimla. Cooler temperatures, mountain air, and panoramic Himalayan views mark the true beginning of the adventure.

Today, the riding truly begins. Depart Kufri and leave the main highway behind as you enter a network of narrow single-track mountain roads weaving through pine forests, remote hamlets, and endless apple orchards. The route follows old trading paths with spectacular valley views and riding that offers a perfect warm-up for the days ahead. By afternoon, we descend toward the Sutlej River and arrive in the historic town of Rampur Bushahr, the summer getaway of the Bushahr Dynasty. After checking in, go for a stroll through the market or relax in the hotels garden.

Ride deeper into Kinnaur today, taking scenic back roads that cling dramatically to the mountainsides. The terrain becomes increasingly rugged as the road traces the Sutlej River through narrow canyons and towering cliffs. Eventually, turn away from the main gorge and climb into the breathtaking Sangla Valley where snow-capped peaks rise above the villages and lush green meadows.

Begin the morning riding to Chitkul, the last inhabited village before the Indo-Tibetan border that is surrounded by dramatic peaks and glacial river. After briefly exploring the village and soaking in the scenery, we retrace the route back to the main road before continuing toward Kalpa. Famous for its uninterrupted views of the Kinner Kailash range,

Kalpa is one of the highlights of Kinnaur.

Once we have secured our Inner Line Permits, we enter the high-altitude desert landscapes of Spiti. Ride past the dramatic cliffside roads of Kinnaur and continue through the high village of Nako where we stop for lunch. We then descend down to Tabo, home to one of the oldest Buddhist monasteries in the Himalayas. Before the sun sets, we arrive at a premium two night stopover at a brand-new boutique eco-property nestled in the valley. It is time to slow down and continue our immersive experience of this region.

Today is dedicated to exploring the upper reaches of Spiti on an unforgettable day of riding through some of the highest inhabited villages in the world. No need to pack up today. Take the switchback road to the spectacular cliffside Dhankar Monastery before climbing toward the remote villages of Komic and Hikkim, famous for its high-altitude post office. Continue on to Kaza for lunch and a chance to explore the cultural heart of

Spiti before returning to Siluk.

Continue exploring the Spiti Valley today with a ride through some of the region’s most iconic landmarks. Visit the stunning hilltop Key Monastery before climbing toward Kibber, once considered the highest motorable village in the world. Cross the spectacular Chicham Bridge suspended high above a dramatic gorge before descending to Rangrik.

Our final riding day route traverse’s stark mountain deserts, glacial streams, and ever-changing terrain before entering the engineering marvel of the Atal Tunnel. Exiting the tunnel, the landscape transforms dramatically into lush green forests as you descend

into Manali.

After days of mountain riding, today is yours to relax and enjoy Manali at your own pace. Explore the cafés and markets, visit nearby temples, or simply recover with mountain views and good coffee and delicious food. Today also marks the end of the riding portion of the expedition as you say goodbye to your motorcycles.

Depart Manali this morning and drive down through the Himalayan foothills toward Chandigarh to catch your flight back to Delhi where we have our final dinner to celebrate the adventure, the friendships formed, and the unforgettable roads of Spiti.

Transfer to the airport for your onward international departure. Your Himalayan motorcycle expedition through Kinnaur and Spiti comes to an end, leaving you with

memories of high mountain passes, ancient monasteries, remote villages, and some of the greatest riding roads on earth!
