About This Ride

What makes this route special

Spiti is what Ladakh was fifteen years ago — remote, raw, with roads that think twice before committing. The Spiti River runs brown and fast through a canyon that has been carved for a million years, and the villages clinging to the valley walls have been there for nearly as long. Key Monastery at 13,668 ft looks like someone built a birthday cake on a cliff and forgot to stop adding tiers. Chandratal Lake looks like someone spilled liquid mercury into a bowl at 14,100 ft. Kunzum La is the pass that opens the valley each summer, and riding through it feels like breaking a seal. This is Himachal's wild heart — and an 8-day bike loop is the right way to see it.
