The cost of stay and food increases proportionally to the number of days you have planned your trip. The rates of taxis for Spiti Valley trip (Shimla to Spiti Valley taxi fare) are generally Rs 3300-3500 per day and hence, a trip of 10-11 days to Spiti via Kinnaur can easily cost around Rs 35000 just for the taxi. So, a question like, if I can make a budget trip to Spiti Valley by public transport is not surprisingly the topmost among the frequently asked questions for a Ladakh trip
