Day 1 , 20th July , Saturday : Chandigarh - Shimla [4-5 hours]
We start the roadtrip at 2 pm by driving out of city limits, leaving the hustle-bustle behind, in quest for calmer mountains. The twisting and turning path leads us to famous hill station of Shimla where we spend the night.
Shimla today is an attractive blend of a hill, town and holiday resorts. With its distinctive retro style, hand-painted signs in bazaars, cars banned in the main town, Shimla has an old-world charm to it which feels as if the British left just yesterday. You are free to rest at the hotel or you can explore the the town on your own.
Day 2 , 21st July , Sunday : Shimla - Sangla – Chitkul - Sangla [7-8 hours]
We wake up early today and start at 6 am for the traverse through Sangla valley. Known predominantly for its agriculture, almost every house in Sangla will have cultivations of apples, pears, walnuts, apricots or potatoes.
We will be going for a short drive from Sangla to Chitkul which will be one of the most scenic drives you’ll take with plenty of opportunities to take stunning photographs.

Unlike other monasteries in the Spiti Valley, the Tabo monastery is located at the bottom of the valley.
We will be proceeding to Dhankar after this which is renowned for its 1200-year old monastery balanced precariously on a rocky precipice. If time and energy permit, we do the easy 45-minute trek to the stunning turquoise coloured Dhankar Lake. After the trek, we drive to the nearby village of Lhalung. Literally translating to the “Land of God”, Lhalung is located at the foot of the Tangmar Mountains. The locals believe their God lives in these mountains and the mountain changes its colors through wide arrays of reds, yellows, browns depending on the mood of their God. We will spend the night here in a homestay.

Later we drive to Hikkim which has the world's highest post office! Don't forget to write to your dear ones in the good old traditional way. You will find beautiful postcards and stamps here to send a memorabilia home!

Day 7 , 27th July , Friday: Kaza - Kunzum La - Chandratal Lake [6-7 hours]
We now drive to one of the most photogenic places in Spiti Valley – the Chandratal Lake. Before that, we pass through the high altitude pass of Kunzum La. Stop by at the stupa and pay tribute to the local goddess, “Kuzum Mata” as she's known. At 15,000 feet above sea-level, the Kuzum Pass connects Kullu and Lahaul to the Spiti Valley. At 15,060 ft, the Kunzum La is a high mountain pass that connects the Kullu and Lahaul valleys. From there, we head to Chandratal Lake – A visual marvel, this stunning blue-coloured lake is set at an altitude of 4,300 meters above sea level in the heart of high Himalayas and is a must see on a full moon night. It derives its name, “Chandra” (Moon) and “Taal” (Lake) from the crescent shape of the lake. Watch the lake change colours from crystal clear shades of blue to emerald greens by dusk.
