Spiti Valley Road Trip
Top PickAdventure

Spiti Valley Road Trip

Spiti ('The Middle Land') is a cold desert mountain valley located high in the Himalayas. A road trip here is considered one of the most adventurous drives in the world. The landscape is barren, rugged, and breathtakingly beautiful, often compared to Ladakh but more raw. You visit ancient monasteries like Key Gompa, perched on a hill like a fortress. Driving through the treacherous Kunzum Pass and seeing the moon-shaped Chandratal Lake adds to the thrill. It is an odyssey into isolation.

Paragliding in Bir Billing

Paragliding in Bir Billing

Bir Billing is the paragliding capital of India and the second highest takeoff site in the world. Taking off from Billing (2400m) and landing in Bir (1350m) offers a flight time of 15-30 minutes. Soaring like a bird over the Dhauladhar mountain range and the lush green Kangra valley is an adrenaline rush mixed with zen-like calm. The view is uncluttered and majestic. Bir itself is a center for ecotourism and meditation, with several Tibetan monasteries nearby.
