closer to the high mountains and all you will see is snow capped
peaks from Kunzum Pass and beyond. The hike to Chandra Tal lake is
20 mins from the barricade. The lake is a
mesmerizing sight that will leave you speechless for sure. We
don’t have words to describe it. Spend the night at camp close to
the lake.

(100 kms/5 hrs)
Day 8
-
Some people call it tough, some call it adventurous and some
call the drive of their life- this is the last day of your trip
before you head back to civilization in Manali. The road between
Chandra Tal and Manali is the toughest, roughest, most scenic and
we guarantee you will skip a few breathes this day. The
non-existence of roads, a few water falls, dry and dusty make this
terrain difficult. On the other hand, snow capped mountains,
Chandra river flowing to meet Bhaga and the vast landscape make
your drive memorable. Spend some time at Rohtang if time
permits.
Chandra Tal to Manali via
Rohtang La (130 kms/7 hrs)

REVIEWS
“Of course what made our trip in this beautiful but hostile
topography a rocking success was the team of Incredible Spiti (Mr
Vishesh Shourie). These guys know thier terrain inside out! Special
mention to our driver who negotiated those tricky hairpin bends
which elan and style ! At Kaza, I would recommend staying at Sakya
Abode (Kunphen). While the facilities are basic, Mr. Tsering Bodh
(owner) makes sure that all his guests are looked after and
attended to. The added incentive is playing audience to him when he
is narrating the local folklore :) “
“Normally I do like to plan my trip myself, but one day I
stumbled over this website of Incredible spiti run by two fine
persons Vishesh Shourie and Tsering Bodh and I decided to take
their help to ensure a smooth trip and they didn’t prove us wrong ,
they not only helped in customizing our trip according to our
wishes starting from the choice of stays, places to visit but also
gave us an insight which only a local could have. “
“About Tsering & Vishesh from IncredibleSpiti(our tour
organizers):
These both are amazing people. They give flexibility
to the clients on their selection of itinerary and hotels. At times
when you wanted to change existing place from the itinerary, then
they come with dynamic itinerary(Pretty Cool). This is a lot
helpful for us during our trip. We had cancelled one hotel and
shifted to the other. For this we were reimbursed the money for
that hotel. Both are credible.”
“While I was there, the Pin side had flooded away and my
mountaineer friend group were headed that side. Incredible
Spiti team informed them well in time - which was a huge
relief as many people had washed away, and also they helped
arranging things for my friends even though they were not using
their services. A lot of travel agencies call themselves
expert in Spiti - but this is the only team I saw at work while I
was there. All the work even from Manali was outsourced to
them”
“Having availed of their services, I would not hesitate one bit
to recommend the guys at ‘Incredible Spiti’ – customised travel and
adventure solutions provider for the Spiti region. The success of
my trip owes a great deal to Vishesh Shourie and his team's
meticulous planning, good selection of vehicle and hotels and a
continuous drive to ensure that we had a great time. It was also
wonderful to see how they handled a last minute change in itinerary
owing to the closure of Kunzum La. Without them we would have been
probably stuck.”
