Solo travellers take a seat in a group SUV and pay ₹6,000 extra. Two people can book a private vehicle at ₹43,999 per person. A group of 2 to 3 travels in a Jimny 4x4, and a group of up to 5 in a Scorpio N 4x4. A Hilux or Fortuner costs ₹10,000 more per person.

Self-drive is available on demand. Winter roads are icy and close in heavy snow, so we recommend a 4x4, snow chains and earlier experience of driving on snow.

The route is Delhi – Shimla – Narkanda – Kalpa – Tabo – Kaza – Kalpa – Shimla – Delhi, about 1,350 km. The highest point is 4,513 m (Komic).

January and February are the peak snow months. Late December is our top-selling window. October, November and March are lighter, with less snow and milder days.

Temperatures can drop as low as -40°C. Hotels are heated or have room heaters, and you should pack thermals, insulated gloves and a proper jacket.

Roads can be covered in snow or ice. A 4x4 with an experienced driver and snow chains is what gets the group through. If a road closes, the captain changes the plan instead of pushing through.

Winter Spiti is approached from the Shimla and Kinnaur side. Kunzum Pass and the Manali road are shut by snow, so Chandratal is not part of the winter trip.
