Arrive in Chandigarh by 8 AM and begin your climb into the Himalayas. Break at Shimla for essentials and roadside eats before continuing to Narkanda.

The mountain air shifts everything—pace, mood, and mind. Unwind at a boutique stay tucked amid pine forests.

Travel through cedar-lined roads to reach Rakchham, where your luxury Swiss tent awaits by the river. In the afternoon, drive to Chitkul—where India ends and the stories begin.

Wooden houses, flowing rivers, and borderland silence welcome you. Return for a starlit bonfire night.

Get your adrenaline flowing with rock climbing or rappelling sessions led by an ex-army officer. Post lunch, drive to Kalpa—home to sweeping views of the Kinner Kailash range.

Check into a peaceful mountain lodge and enjoy a slow sunset with the peaks lit in gold.

The landscape begins to change—green gives way to stark browns as you enter Spiti. Stop by Gue to witness a mummified monk preserved in time.

Reach Tabo by evening and check into a traditional mud house stay. Spend the night by a fire, surrounded by quiet desert winds.

Experience morning chants at Tabo Monastery and walk to nearby meditation caves once used by monks. Then head to Dhankar Monastery, perched dramatically above the confluence of rivers.

From here, trek to Dhankar Lake, a hidden jewel nestled high above. Drive through Pin Valley and stay overnight in the solitude of Kaza.

Today is a circuit of wonders—fossil hunting in Langza, postcard writing at Hikkim, and silence at Key Monastery. Conclude with Chicham Bridge, the highest in Asia, suspended above deep gorges.

Return to Kaza to relax and pick up souvenirs at the local bazaar.

Set out early for Chandrataal—a mystical crescent-shaped lake tucked high in the mountains. The journey tests your spine but rewards your soul.

Reach your alpine campsite by afternoon and spend the evening walking around the lake or simply breathing it all in.

At night, the stars take over.

Wake to a sunrise you’ll never forget. Then brace yourself for the Gramphoo–Batal stretch—rugged, raw, and real.

The road barely exists, but the drama of the landscape keeps you wide-eyed.

Arrive in Manali by evening and celebrate the end of this wild ride.

Drive back to Chandigarh through a scenic, less-travelled route. Reach by evening—tired, maybe. Changed, definitely.

The Himalayas will linger in your breath long after the journey ends.
