Cycle From Kinnaur to Spiti Valley in Himachal Pradesh

If you want to experience Himachal differently, consider taking a cycling tour over the Himalayan range from the southern lush green valley of Kinnaur to the Spiti Valley. Spiti is the northernmost part of Himachal Pradesh and runs parallel to the Tibet border. Spiti also means “Middle Country” – it lies between Tibet, Ladakh, Lahaul, Kullu and Kinnaur.

It is a sub division of Lahaul and Spiti district with its headquarters in Kaza. You will cycle through places like Kalpa, Tabo, Nako and Kaza and finally end it at Solang. Enroute you will cross the Kunzhum La and Rohatang Pass. A visit to the ethereal Chandratal Lake will of course be the high point of your trip. You will cycle through some of the toughest terrains at times on non-existent roads, braving rock falls at other times that will add to the overall thrill on the trip.  The tour will involve cycling for 5-7 hours daily at high altitude and it is recommended for people with prior cycling experience and with an extremely good level of physical fitness. We do not recommend this tour to people with chronic problems like epilepsy and those related to blood pressure or heart or diabetes.
