Why Winter Spiti?

Spiti Valley in winter is raw, serene, and dramatic. The valley transforms into a silent palette of whites and greys, frozen rivers, and deserted villages blanketed under snow. What makes a bike trip in winter so special?

• Contrast in landscape: Summer crowds vanish; roads through high passes like Kunzum and Rohtang open to reveal views you’ll rarely share with many others.

• Spiritual solitude: Monasteries appear more mystical amid snow, and the town-folk’s lifestyle in winter gives you insights into perseverance.

• Thrill factor: Cold, unpredictable terrain, sometimes snowed-in roads, reduced visibility—but also the immense satisfaction of completing a challenging ride.
