How it works

From the first page to a plan a person can answer.

Seven stops, on one road, the same kind of line as the days on a route. Open a stop for the screen, and for what that choice does. The car and the bike ride the line as you scroll.

  1. 1
    1. You open the site

    The first screen

      The Spiti. About, this page, the gallery, and contact.

    thespiti.com is the Shimla desk. The first screen is a photograph and a short line. The button with three lines opens the menu. The round button beside it switches light and dark.

    Nothing is chosen for you yet. The homepage can show season cards, where you are leaving from, the tour list, and the rentals. A count of 0 on the desk means that block shows everything.

    2. Start with a route, or with a machine

      Where you leave. Shimla, Manali, Chandigarh, or Delhi.

    • 2

      Shimla is on, so the list is only those routes. A town that is not a start, such as Kaza, shows every route.
