Spiti Valley bike tour: a 10-day group ride from Delhi

You ride the full Spiti circuit as part of a batch of up to 15 bikes, led by a tour captain, with a mechanic, marshals and a backup vehicle on the road with you.

The Spiti bike tour

How does the Spiti group bike tour work?

You do not ride alone. Everyone in the batch starts together in Delhi, takes the overnight Volvo to Bhuntar, rests on day 2, and picks up a bike on day 3. From there the group rides the same route each day.

A tour captain leads and marshals ride with the group, so there is help close by on a long climb or a water crossing. A mechanic with spares travels with you, and the backup vehicle follows with luggage. You can take a seat in it whenever you need a break.

When do Spiti bike tour batches run?

Our Spiti bike batches run in summer, from late May to early October. June to September is the steadiest window, because Kunzum La and Chandratal are usually open then. In 2026 a batch left about every week between 30 May and 26 September.

We publish the 2027 batch dates on the booking page once they are confirmed. Message us and we will tell you which weeks suit your plan.

Group bike tour, rental or riding on your own?

Riding on your own gives you complete freedom, but you plan the route, permits, fuel stops, repairs and rooms yourself, and a breakdown at 4,000 m is yours to solve. Hiring a bike saves the purchase but still leaves most of that with you.

On the group tour all of it is arranged and you pay once. The trade is that you ride with a batch and keep to its daily plan, which suits most first-time Spiti riders.
