Itinerary
Day 1
- Delhi to Narkanda
- Start early from Delhi, possibly by 4-5 am to avoid the morning Delhi traffic
- Cross Shimla and reach Narkanda and stay there for the night
- Continue travelling and halt for the night at Rampur, another 65 kilometres ahead
- Road conditions for the entire day will be a mix of good and average
- total distance travelled will be around 400 kilometres till Narkanda
Day 2
- The destination for today will be Chitkul
- Continue towards Rampur from Narkanda, cross the town of Jeori on the way; and then from Karchham, take the diversion towards Chitkul
- Sangla is another major town that will come on the way to Chitkul
- If you want to, you can also stay for the night at Sangla
- Road conditions until Jeori will mostly be good but will get worse after that From Karchham till Chitkul is mostly all badly broken dirt road
- Travel time will easily be 8 hours so please ensure that you get an early start from Narkanda
Day 3
- The journey today will take you through some really bad roads
- The entire section between Chitkul to Karchham and then until Pooh always remains in a bad condition
- After Pooh, however, the road will improve and will get excellent around Nako
- The total duration of the journey will be again 7 to 8 hours so please start early
- You will cross the town of Reckong Peo on the way and this is where most of the foreign nationals get the permits
Day 4
- This is more of a relaxed day so you can even start a bit late in the day
- Total journey will not be any more than 5-6 hours at most and the roads will be a mix of good and average
- You will cross the towns of Tabo and Dhankar on the way and a visit to the monasteries here is highly recommended
Day 5
- For this day, you will stay in Kaza and make a day trip to the nearby villages of Spiti Valley
- Do not check out of the hotel and leave all your luggage there as you will be returning back to Kaza by evening
- Start early from Kaza so you can cover maximum places
- If you covered all the 4 villages of Kibber, Komik, Langza and Hikkim, it will be around 100 odd kilometres in total
- The entire journey, however, will be on dirt trails as there is no road up here
Day 6
- From here on, you will start your return journey home while visiting Chandratal on the way
- From Kaza, continue towards Losar and climb up Kunzum Pass
- Once you reach the top of the pass, start descending down towards Batal and a couple of kilometres later, you will notice board on your right pointing towards a narrow road that goes all the way to Chandratal
- There are several campsites at Chandratal that you can stay at of which, I will recommend Jamaica’s camps the best
- Distance travelled will be around 115 kilometres but will easily take you 6 hours at least
Day 7
- Today, you will be travelling on one of the worst roads you ever encountered in your life; the notorious Batal Gramphoo stretch
- Entire distance between Chandratal and Manali is just around 120 kilometres but it is bound to take you around 8 hours to complete it; that’s how slow you will go at several places
- You will cross so many water streams that you will lose the count
- Once you reach Gramphoo, climb up to the top of Rohtang Pass and then down to Manali
Day 8
- Nothing much to say about this day except for that this will be one long and monotonous journey
- Distance travelled will be around 540 kilometres that can easily take 14-15 hours depending upon your speed and breaks so start early from Manali
