Gear Up: What You’ll Need
Before you pack your bags, remember: Spiti Valley in winter isn’t for the faint hearted or the underdressed. Here’s your checklist:
• Thermals: Believe us, the chill in Spiti means serious cold.
• Woolens: Sweaters, scarves, gloves—if it’s fluffy and warm, bring it.
• Shoes: Sturdy, snow-friendly boots. Your sneakers will thank you for leaving them at home.
• Car with Ground Clearance: Mountain On Wheels has your back with self drive SUVs perfect for these terrains.
Pro tip: Pack an extra pair of socks. You’ll never regret it.
Things to Do in Spiti Valley This Winter
• Key Monastery: This 1,000-year-old gem looks straight out of a fairy tale when draped in snow. Plus, the monks are great company, especially if you’re craving a hot cup of butter tea.
Stroll Around Chandratal: While the lake is likely frozen solid, it’s still worth the journey. Where else can you walk on water (albeit frozen)?
Stargazing at Kaza: skies are so clear in winter you can practically count the stars. And if you see a shooting star? Make a wish—preferably for warmer toes.
Indulge in Local Food: Momos and thukpa taste even better when it’s below zero outside. Plus, it’s a great excuse to eat like there’s no tomorrow.
Adventure on the Roads: With Mountain On Wheels, navigating the icy roads becomes half the fun. Our cars are built for the challenge, leaving you free to soak in the views and yell “Woohoo!” on every hairpin bend.
The Funny Side of Spiti Winters
Let’s face it—Spiti isn’t just Instagram-perfect landscapes. It’s also frozen toothpaste (yep, keep it under your armpit to thaw), numb noses, and the eternal struggle of wearing six layers of clothing while using a traditional dry toilet. But hey, isn’t that what makes the stories worth telling?
You’ll also meet locals who’ll laugh at your idea of “cold” while sipping on butter tea like it’s summer. They’ll teach you that warmth isn’t just about temperature—it’s about hospitality, shared laughter, and a good snowball fight.
