Getting to Spiti Valley from Dehradun by public transport is an adventure in itself. Here’s a guide to help plan your trip step by little step:
Route Overview
Since there is no direct way by bus or other means of transport, you will have to take the journey in multiple stops. There are two common routes to reach Spiti:
• Way Through Shimla (Simpler, open 365 days in a year)
• Via Manali (Shorter, but only open in June to September)
Note: If you’re going to Leh next, pick the Manali route; it connects better with Leh through the Leh-Manali Highway.
Option 1: Dehradun to Shimla:
Option 2: Dehradun to Shimla:
• PAST By Bus: An HRTC or private bus (6–7 hours)
• Dehradun ISBT has frequent bus services.

Vigihal is also accessible via local buses which can be taken from Dehradun ISBT or from any of the private operators.
Manali to Kaza:

These buses leave early morning, so plan your stay at Manali accordingly. 9 Travel Tips for Public Transport

It's a charming way to start your adventure!
