    Unforgettable Trip
    The trip start from Chandigarh as our driver sonu bhai pick us from Chandigarh and we went to narkanda and stayed there, first we visit narkanda temple and it was so beautiful then we went to sangla Valley, as our driver sonu bhai knows each and every place so it’s very easy and comfortable for us to visit the places on time. Then on 3rd day we visited tabo(beautiful place) on the way to khab ( spiti river, nako lake). After that, we visited world highest post office in hikim and then we went to kaza to kalpa which is one of the most beautiful place I ever visit. Overall experience was great and unforgettable with my friends, moreover the sonu bhai was so friendly, understanding and helpful. You can contact him on +919816378229.

    Our HP tour from Kasol to Kaza Sipti Vally
    We just completed Sipti tour last week started from Kasol. Our family tour organised by Sonu Ji . It was an amazing trip and we experienced snow fall at Sangla and Narkanda. We enjoyed the frozen lake at Nako with mesmerizing road trip to Kazaa via Tabo. Felt warm even at _ 24 degree at Kazza due to wounderfull sightseeing . Sonu Ji is so experienced in hilly and shooting stones roads. Just 👌. Thank you Sonu Ji for your flexible timing to reach sangla to experience the snow fall in a day from Gusani even jalori pass closed.

    Experience of a lifetime
    Travelling Spiti valley is a once in a lifetime experience. As I was traveling with my wife and daughter ,I wanted an easy going journey. While doing my research I read good reviews about Sonu Bhai ( 9816378229 ) and contacted him. With his help we made an itenary which covered Chail, Narkanda, Sangla valley, Kalpa, Tabo, Kaza ,Manali covering all the nearby areas. He provided an innova with his brother Ajay bhai as our driver. Ajay has great driving skills and the biggest challenge we faced was the Kaza to Manali route along with chandratal lake which had opened 2 or 3 days back before our journey. Spiti valley is a cold desert on a height just like ladakh so do your research before planning a journey. But once u go there, I m sure you will love every bit of it. The natural surroundings, the rivers, the black brown mountains, the monasteries, everything untouched by humans. Make sure you don't litter the place, be good tourists and let's not spoil nature by over tourism. Have a great journey.

    Spiti valley glimps
    Biking trip to Spiti Valley was nothing short of extraordinary. The journey, with its rugged terrains and breathtaking landscapes, was a thrilling adventure. From the winding roads and high-altitude passes to the serene monasteries and starkly beautiful villages, every mile was a feast for the senses. The challenging routes tested our endurance but were well worth the effort for the spectacular views of snow-capped peaks and ancient monasteries. The local hospitality added warmth to the cold, mountainous air. Overall, Spiti Valley offers an unforgettable blend of natural beauty and cultural richness, making it a must-visit for any avid biker.

    After much deliberation, I decided to go with License2roam Expeditions for my Spiti Valley adventure. To be honest, was quite skeptical at first since I was going with a travel group for the first time. However, I am glad to say that everything was taken care very well. From transportation to accommodation and most importantly, safety of the travellers. Made many unforgettable memories, met some amazing people and found new friends. As nothing is perfect, so here’s a feedback from me. Timings should’ve been adhered strictly which could’ve helped us to explore more places. Rest everything was fine. Thanks to Trip Captain Gaurav, Vice Captain Vaibhav and special mention Operations Head Deepanshu, a wonderful human being. Will definitely be considering License2roam Expeditions for my next adventure.

Spiti Valley is a cold desert mountain valley located high in the Himalayas in the north-eastern part of the northern Indian state of Himachal Pradesh. The name "Spiti" means "The middle land", i.e. the land between Tibet and India

Have always been a connoisseur of off beat traveling but never had a chance to visit Spiti. This time we a group of friends finally were able to make the plan work.

Our trip was organized and managed by Classic Expeditions India. Sandeep was our main contact and was with us through out the trip and made sure we had the best experience whether it was stay or the food. We were able to experience the best of homestays and local cuisine throughout the travel. We did visited Narkanda, Hatu Peak, Kalpa, Kinner Kailash, Nako, Tabo, Kaza, Langza, Key Monastery, Kibber, Komic, Hikkim and certain other on the way attractions.

Would definitely recommend this trip and the organizers to who would love to experience some off beat travel adventures and experience but travelers just need to make sure of certain things like winter clothing as the temperature can go as low as -20 by November Mid.

Recently completed 9 day tour of Spiti and Lahaul. I suggested an itinerary over mail to Vishesh and Rutika, who are the prime movers of Incredible Spiti. Their responses were prompt, to the the point and we finalized the package within a couple of days.
Hotel list was sent to me beforehand. Vehicle and driver details were sent one day in advance. Rutika always kept in touch with us. It was an overwhelming gesture from Vishesh when he personally met us at Kaza. We stayed in hotels at Shimla, Kalpa, Tabo, Kaza, Losar, Sissu, Keylong and Mandi. All the hotels were very good in terms of infrastructure, food and hospitality. Considering the remoteness of some of the locations, the service levels were beyond expectations.
However, the icing on the cake was our driver, Mr Rakesh Thakur. It was Rakeshji who made the trip one of the most memorable. His punctuality is of international standard. He is a professional, one of the best in his trade, a good human being, has a phenomenal knowledge about the places. I will always cherish my interaction with him.
I will strongly recommend Incredible Spiti to any traveler who wishes to undertake a vacation trip to Spiti and Lahaul.
To conclude, my sincerest thanks to Vishesh, Rutika, Rakesh and other support staff of Incredible Spiti for the wonderful experience.

We wud like to thank Mr. Sonu bhaiya our taxi driver cum tour guide in our whole spiti valley tour. We hired his Innova Crista car from Chandigarh which was very comfortable on this journey with rough terrains . Mr Sonu is doing Himalaya tour for last 10 years , I must appreciate his driving skills on these expertise demanding roads. On certain places tourist had to face some some shooting stone areas , but we felt extremely safe along with Sonu bhaiya due to his vigilant and experienced driving skills.
Mr Sonu took us for almost all important sight seeing in chitkul, gihu, nako, tabo, kaza, chicham and many more. Apart from these main sights Sonu bhiaya also knew about some unique untouched places, visiting where was a paranormal experience . I cannot express in words.
I wud rate Mr Sonu as a 5 star travel buddy. I highly recommend Sonu and his Crista car.

I had a beautiful experience at Spiti and covered all major important points. I give all credit for the trip to my driver Mr. Bhupinder aka Sonu ji and his brother Happy who was in the other car to navigate out family consisting of people from age 52-23. Sonu ji ia a amazing person and has strong knowledge of the area so he doubled up as our guide. He gave us genuine help like family wherever required and even helped up with the correct home stays too as we have no experience regarding this from Mumbai. He’s a extremely trustworthy person and very skilled on the dangerous roads. He also showed us pictures from the “Snow Spiti Tour” and additional few points. If you have children and elders I would 10/10 recommend you a trip with Mr. Bhupinder :
+91 98163 78229. Additionally if you have doubts regarding Information of Climate or Equipment, Dressing and Food give him a call and he can help you with everything.

We planned a 8 day trip to Himachal Pradesh.(Sangla,Kalpana,Batseri).We were clueless as how to plan the trip since we were travelling with our kids.But luckily I came across the contact details of Sonu (our tour driver ,guide as well as our companion for whole trip).He is such a trained person to drive on hills with more than 10 yrs experience.He arranged and guided us properly which made our trip worth visiting Himachal.Moreover ,his humble and co operative atitude for while of the trip was a cherry on cake.
He guided us properly at every place even where to eat and stop for lunch dinner etc).He himself is a resident of HP hence no one better than him could have a helped us plan such a beautiful trip .So if anyone who wants to explore Himachal,Spiti Valley ,can contact him on his number:9816378229-[Bhupendra(Sonu)].He can arrange an itinerary according to your wish and with no doubt can make your trip memorable.

Being a defense brat i have had the pleasure of visiting so many places across all over India, from Kashmir to Kanyakumari. And Spity valley was one of the most peaceful and beautiful places that I had ever seen. I had some really beautiful, jaw dropping and slightly scary scenery and mesmerizing views.
And it wasn't even that costly based on the experience that I had, it was all worth it. We were 6 people, 3 on bikes each and 3 in car. So it was all cozy and comfy for all of us and all we had to pay was for petrol, food and stay that too divided by 3 as we were three people in the car. Its kinda better to have your personal vehicle because there are so many views to see there on the way itself. It might cost you around 15k to 20k(each) for minimum 5 days of ful fledged experience and in this amount we even went to chitkul and many places in between so just for spiti the prices might be a bit low. You can avoid hotels as the monestry in spiti also opens up for tourists (including stay and food) so that's very very cheap based on the hotels and you can get you self home stays also but we preferred hotel as we found it better and cheap based on our group and our preference,so its your choice in the end. But trust me please find some time from your busy life and go for a trip with your friends every once 6 months or a year atleast (i am talking about a good long road trip with stays). Overall it was so nice that I would love to do it all over again with my family this time. And i hair from a middle class family so i can say that this trip is very much affordable for all. Have a great day.

Our whole journey started from dharampur, me and my fruends were planning for this from quite a long time. So we boked a taxy service and we were all set to explore city. We planned a whole 10 day trip. So our first stop was shimla, the queen and the capital of himachal pradesh. So we planned to stay 2 days in Shimla and the places we visited were mall road, jakhu temple, kufri, the grand ridge. So our next stop was narkanda hatto temple is a place to visit because of the grt scenery around then we left for sarahan bhema kaali temple. A place for evryone to visit. The next stop was sangka valley. On the way we visited karcham dam, baspa river, kangro fort, monesty. Next we visited chitkul a peaceful bliss of himalyas and himachal culture. Next stop was kalpa, they are many places to see like suicide point, last motorable village, monestry and great scene of kinner kailash. What a view it was. So now our jouney continued to taboo, on the way we saw nako monestry, due mummy nd due mummy is a 550 yrs old monesty situated in the laps of himalyas. Next we say taboo monestry, dhankar lake and dhankar monestry. And finally we reached kazza. Next was hikim "worlds highest post office" , conniued with komic "the world's highest motorable road". Langja was our next spot followed by kee monestry site seeing, kibber,chicham bridge,Lossar ,kunjum pass. Then we reached chandratal lake at camping spot "parasol camp". According to our experience best camp. Then we further wend to manali and ended it back at Dharampur.

We hired sonu bhaiya, for this whole trip. And the car we hired was inova. Sonu bhaiya is a grt person best driver nd a good guide too. He is very friendly. In all it was a grt trip.

We recommend sonu bhaiya for all our future trips nd looking forward to exploring more of himachal.

Hi everyone, so I did a trip to Sangla Valley with my very close friend's, we were three of us travelling from Mumbai. Omi, our driver who became our best friend made sure we enjoyed every bit of our trip and made all efforts to make it memorable. He has a talent to mingle well with everyone and gives everybody a warm welcome. Specifically for remote and offbeat travellers, Omi is the best guy to take you around spots in mountains which are non touristy and peaceful. We never felt that we were with a stranger, he arranged everything possible for us and drove us around Sangla knowing all the best places to eat, chill, hang and create memories. He even clicked best pictures and made videos for us. We love Omi and his talents. People travelling to Himachal can contact him at +91 82191 53909.
