Our route was Chandigarh - Shimla - Narkanda - Sangla - Kalpa - Nako - Tabo - Kaza - Jibhi via Kalpa - Manali - Chandigarh . I don't have any words to describe the beauty of Spiti Valley, It is such a stunning place . Every mountain lover should visit Spiti valley once to rediscover himself . Incredible Spiti was our tour planner for this trip and they have done their best to make this trip a memory of a life time . They have guided us on a right track from the beginning so that we can feel eternal bliss through the nature of Spiti Valley . Their arrangements such as accommodation, food , sight seeing was above our expectation level . Chering Ji, Dinesh Ji, Poonam Ji, Mingamar Ji , Vishesh Ji & all of their team members are so enthusiastic that you don't need to worry about any thing. I would like to Thank Team Incredible Spiti & specially Visheshji for being so supportive Ms. Rajee Nair (Travelled with us in 2016) It is almost a year since I visited Spiti and I can still not get over it ... I remember Vishesh Shourie telling me before I went there that it would change my life ... little did I know that it really would and how ! There is no way to describe the place and what it does to you .. words fall short because nothing can describe the beauty of vast emptiness stretching beyond the horizon ...and the skies so blue ... it makes you want to cry .... Spiti ... calls out to me everyday ... I go through the motions of my "normal life" thinking that one day I will go back ....again ... no better team than Incredible Spiti to contact when visiting Spiti ... for me Vishesh Shourie has become synonymous with Spiti ... his knowledge ... his passion for what he does is beyond comparison ... when I think back to the questions I have hounded him with ... ranging from valid to the most inane ... he answered them all with equanimity ... Thank you Incredible Spiti for making my dream com true and yes ... hasta la vista ! Ms. Kajal Arora (Travelled with us in 2016) Incredible Spiti follows what the name says. The company provides incredible experience to Spiti. Groups are well organised, guide is knowledgeable. They have experienced drivers who know how to keep a car in control in rough terrains.
