A wonderful way to explore Spiti in a week, this road trip gives you
the opportunity to travel in a relatively relaxed way in a very short
span of time. As an alternative route, we enter Spiti through the safer
and more compliant Shimla Dhankar route instead of the Manali Gramphu
route. Normally we would fit this trip into 7 days but are willing to
make changes in the duration according to guest specifications.
Day 1: From Shimla to Sarahan to Reckong Peo 
Commencing from Shimla, we begin our journey to Kinnaur, after having
breakfast. We can arrange to have a pick up from Chandigarh as well
should you require the same, but it needs to be in the early morning. We
normally would reach Reckong Peo in the early hours of evening,
provided we are met by good road and traffic conditions. After reaching
Reckong Peo, we suggest a walk around the village and exploring nearby
areas.
Day 2: From Reckong Peo to Nako to Tabo
It would take a few moments for our foreign tourists to get a permit
here, from Reckong Peo to proceed ahead. Stopping at Nako village and
having a meal, we commence our trek to the lake and dwell in the scenic
beauty of the lake. After a little rest, we head back to our car, to
Tabo, and refresh our selves with the beautiful natural surroundings.
Day 3: From Tabo to Dhankar
We visit the famous Tabo monastery in the morning and explore the
nearby caves in mountains where meditation by the monks is an ongoing
process since the olden days. From these quiet surroundings, we drive to
Dhankar, after lunch. Dhankar is the ancient capital of Spiti, while it
was used by the kings. We might even be able to see Lalung with its
famous “Three Cornered Buddha statue”. Tabo monastery is full of
fantastic legendary tales and is a holy place for locals of Spiti.
