Follow the long Himalayan loop from green Kinnaur to the stark high-altitude villages of Spiti, then cross Kunzum Pass toward Manali when the route is open. Expect big landscapes, thoughtful stops and long days on the road.
Starting from Shimla, the road climbs through Kinnaur's valleys and villages before reaching the stark landscapes around Nako and Tabo. The journey is as much about the changing scenery as the destinations, so plan for early starts and plenty of pauses along the way.
In Kaza, visit the local monastery and nearby villages, then continue over Kunzum Pass toward Manali when seasonal conditions allow. This is a demanding mountain route: the final order of stops and overnight stays should follow current road access and your travel dates.
