Shimla Spiti Manali Taxi Tour Package

Overview: Shimla Spiti Manali Taxi Tour Package

The Shimla Spiti Manali Taxi Tour Package is one of the most thrilling and scenic journeys through Himachal Pradesh, taking travelers across the complete Spiti Valley circuit — from the lush green hills of Shimla and Kinnaur to the cold desert landscapes of Spiti and the pine valleys of Manali. This 8-day Shimla Spiti Manali road trip blends adventure, spirituality, and natural beauty, offering a once-in-a-lifetime Himalayan experience with the comfort and safety of a private taxi.

Starting your Shimla Spiti Manali Itinerary from the capital city of Himachal, the drive meanders through the apple-laden slopes of Narkanda and Sarahan before reaching Sangla and Chitkul — known for their raw charm and Indo-Tibetan culture. These valleys, surrounded by towering peaks and rivers, serve as the perfect introduction to the majestic Himalayan landscapes that await ahead. As the journey continues, the scenery shifts from lush greenery to the stark, barren beauty of Spiti Valley, where every turn reveals ancient monasteries, high-altitude villages, and awe-inspiring mountain passes.

Your Shimla Spiti Manali Circuit Itinerary takes you to some of the most iconic destinations of the region — Kalpa with its magnificent Kinner Kailash view, Tabo with its thousand-year-old monastery, and Dhankar, perched dramatically on a cliff above the confluence of the Pin and Spiti rivers. Kaza, the heart of Spiti Valley, welcomes you with a blend of tranquility and adventure — from the ancient Key Monastery to the world’s highest villages, Langza and Hikkim.

A highlight of this Spiti Valley Taxi Service is the drive from Kaza to Chandratal Lake — the “Moon Lake” known for its crystal-clear reflections and serene surroundings. The lake’s beauty, especially under the starlit sky, makes it one of the most memorable moments of the tour. From here, the route descends toward Manali, crossing the Kunzum Pass and the Atal Tunnel, offering breathtaking vistas at every turn.
