Yes, it was freezing — night temperatures dropped a lot! But the reward was worth it: the crisp winter air, bright blue skies, and snow-laden cliffs felt like another world.
Staying in local homestays was by far the best part of the tour. The hosts were warm, meals were cooked on wood stoves, and I felt I experienced Spiti like a local.
BanBanjara’s itinerary was very thoughtful — they took us via Shimla, factored in possible road closures, and made sure we had buffer days. The guides were experienced and kept us safe.
Visiting the ancient monasteries in such quiet, snow-clad surroundings felt deeply spiritual. It was both an adventure and a soulful retreat rolled into one.
This trip is challenging — very cold, long drives, and basic amenities at times. But if you are ready for that, it’s one of the most rewarding experiences you can have.
As a photographer, I was blown away. The frozen rivers, frosty villages, and stark mountains under winter light made for surreal shots. I can’t wait to go back with better lenses!
BanBanjara’s team handled transport, permits, and local arrangements very professionally. Even when weather changed, they kept us informed and flexible.
In winter, Spiti Valley has this deep, calm quiet that is different from touristy mountain places. It gave me a lot of time to reflect, rest, and just be present.
If you love offbeat winter adventures, this is for you. It’s not a luxury resort trip — but for someone who seeks raw beauty, solitude, and real Himalayan charm, BanBanjara’s Spiti Winter Tour is a gem.
