About this circuit
Board the premium overnight bus from Delhi to Shimla for the winter Spiti expedition. Winter in Spiti is unlike anything else in India — temperatures plummet to -30°C, rivers freeze solid, and the landscape transforms into a pristine white dream. Only the most adventurous travelers attempt this journey. Rest well — the days ahead bring frozen waterfalls, snow-blanketed monasteries, and the incredible experience of walking across the frozen Spiti River.

Delhi to Shimla
Depart Delhi in the evening for the full Spiti circuit road trip. Unlike one-way routes, the full circuit takes you through both the Kinnaur valley (via Shimla) and the Manali route — showcasing two dramatically different approaches to the Spiti Valley. Board the overnight bus for the first leg to Shimla, where the road adventure begins with the legendary Hindustan-Tibet Highway.
Sightseeing: Spiti Valley
Delhi to Shimla
Board your overnight bus from Delhi in the evening. As the city gives way to highway and the plains transition to foothills, the excitement of mountains builds. Use the night journey to rest — the days ahead promise dramatic landscapes, local culture, and adventures that will stay with you for years.
Delhi to Shimla
Board your premium overnight Volvo from Delhi ISBT to Shimla. This exclusive small-group departure ensures personalized attention throughout the journey. As the bus climbs through the Shivalik foothills past Kalka and Solan, the temperature drops and the air freshens. Arrive in Shimla by early morning, ready for the week-long Trans-Himalayan adventure through Kinnaur and Spiti — one of India's most remote and spectacular regions.
Delhi to Shimla
Board your overnight bus from Delhi for the budget winter Spiti backpacking trip. Frozen Spiti is a world apart from the summer version — the rivers freeze into blue highways, the monasteries stand stark against snow-white valleys, and you share the road with only yaks and the occasional snow leopard track. The overnight journey to Shimla is just the beginning of an expedition into one of the Himalayas' most dramatic winter landscapes.
