Spiti, from a Shimla yard
Bike tours, winter expeditions, and full circuits. From Shimla, Manali, Chandigarh — or Delhi, if the mountain part should start after a night bus. Guided, or just the keys.
Three ways into the same valley
A summer Spiti bike tour, a winter expedition, or a circuit that ends where it started.
Bike tours
Kinnaur first, so the altitude arrives in steps. Kaza when you’re ready for it. Manali after the pass, not before.
Winter expeditions
Same valley, shorter days, a taller car. Kaza in the quiet months, and home on the Kinnaur road. No pretend Chandratal.
Circuits
Loops that finish where they started — Chandigarh, Manali, or Shimla — including the green way over Jalori.
Start here
Delhi is a night bus or a flight. After that, the days are the same as the hill city the route actually starts in.
Shimla · Kinnaur · Spiti · Manali
Kinnaur first, Spiti in the middle, Manali at the end. The order that lets you climb in steps instead of in one proud, foolish day.

Shimla, Narkanda, Jalori, Jibhi, Manali, then Spiti and home through Kinnaur. The one we suggest when someone says they have the days and mean it.

The next mornings that already have a group. Open one, then send the plan.
Packing, permits, and the weeks when a car is the better seat.

A straight way to choose, from the people who hand over both.

A permit is a piece of paper. The order of the road is the part that changes the week.

The small kit that matters between Shimla and Kaza, and the things people bring that never leave the bag.
2026-05-01
The pass that makes a circuit is shut for the cold months. Winter still reaches Kaza. It just doesn’t cross to Manali.
The small facts that change a Spiti week, and never fit on a brochure.
Fill in Shimla or Manali, again at Kaza, and wherever we tell you in between. There are stretches with no pump and no romance in pushing.
There are hours with no signal. The backup knows that. Your group chat does not. On a guided ride, that’s our problem. On your own, it’s yours.
Kaza sits near 3,650 m. Kunzum is higher. A headache on day two is information. We build nights in before the pass when the plan is long enough to allow it.
Same monasteries, shorter days, ice in the shade, Kunzum closed. It is beautiful and it is not a discounted summer. The car gets taller. The bike gets a more experienced rider.
Where we meet
Shimla, and the other doors the bikes and cars actually leave from.
Bikes and cars are handed over here, not in a hotel porch. Papers, a short brief, then the road.
For plans that start on the Lahaul side. We say so before you book the night bus.
A highway morning, then the hills. Useful when both ends of the trip should be the same city.
An overnight Volvo or a flight. The ride starts in the hills. Delhi is the bus, not another valley.
Short answers before a Spiti bike tour, a bike rental, or a car trip is confirmed.
Because a Spiti week is not a hotel night. We read the plan, check the road and the bikes, then tell you the real number. A token — usually 30% — is collected by UPI or transfer after that, not on this page. You should be able to ask a question before money moves.
Guided means our marshal, mechanic, backup, stays, and the permits paperwork. A fixed date is that same ride, leaving on a published morning so a solo guest can join other people. Independent means we hand you a checked bike or car in Shimla. You handle the beds, the food, and the pace. Roadside assistance can be added. It is not a disguised tour.
Yes. The mountain plan doesn’t change. You add an overnight Volvo, or a flight plus a taxi, to Shimla, Manali, or Chandigarh — whichever city that route actually starts from. The Volvo pair is in the estimate. Flights stay yours to book, because prices move around more than the pass does.
Count on it from June through September, treat May and October as a conversation, and assume it is shut from November to April. Winter trips stay on the Kinnaur road and return the way they came. We will not sell you Chandratal in January.
Indian guests usually need nothing dramatic for the main Spiti circuit, and where a check-post wants a paper we already know the drill. Foreign guests need the protected-area formalities sorted before the trip, not at Nako. Tell us your passport country when you enquire.
On a guided summer plan, on a 350 or a Himalayan, with the Shimla-side start — yes, if you already ride a motorcycle on the highway and you have a permanent gear licence. Not as your first fortnight on two wheels. In winter, first-timers sit in a car. We are happy to say no. It’s cheaper than a rescue.
A month, a start city, and a bike or a car. A person writes back.
