Mid may to mid Oct is the best time to visit spiti valley.
this region experiences summer season during the months of may to october and the temperature ranges from 0 to 15 degree Celsius. this is the best time to visit spiti valley. winters are very cold here and should be avoided. the road connectivity is also unreliable during the winters with Manali-Kaza highway being cut off.
Hi Faisal,
April is the best month of the year to visit Spiti, the weather is pleasant and there is still snow n the mountains, which makes the landscape more scenic and it is a sight to behold.
THIS! Spiti has October festival where you can get an insight into the valley's culture. Don't think just start packing. Also, I have a blog on my solo hitch hike trip to Spiti, give it a look.
First you decide whether u r just planning to Visit Kaza/Spiti Valley areas and come back through same route? Or, u want to cover Manali, Rohtang,Keylong,Leh etc too.
Then plan before mid of October as after that snowfall will start and ONE route will be covered with snow.
However, Shimla, Narkanda, Rampur, Nako,Tabo,Kaza.....this route is opened whole year. Bt it will be like Missing something on the way as u won't be able to go beyond Kaza(place where spiti valley,key monestary etc are there).
So, plan between June & September.
1 more thing, after Rampur Bushahr its DRY area, so don't worry about Rain. ππ.
Just go and enjoy. You can gey solo yolo homestay @Rs500/day including morning breakfast complementary βΊοΈ there.
Have some more time.Live the beauty. Spare sometime with yourself.ππ
In the month of April to mid-May: At this time, the snow starts to melt. A number of roads are opened too like road from Kaza to Losar. However, road from Kunzum Pass towards Manali open only in the June month. This is the time when reaching Spiti is feasible and a number of adventure enthusiasts make their plans regarding tour to Spiti. This is an ideal time to admire snow-clad mountains and play in the snow. If you do not really mind low tourist count, can stay amid basic facilities and do not mind certain road blockages, you can travel at during these months.
The summer months of March-June are considered to be the best to visit Spiti not only due to the pleasant weather but also fewer crowds. For that perfect winter vacation, the months of October-February are the best time to visit Spiti.
