    Spiti Valley Homestay Trek and Culltural Tour

    Although trekking and camping in remote locations is great fun, absorbing the unique cultures of remote villages has a charm of its own. There is no better way to experience the culture of a place than to walk the trails between the villages and live with the locals. On this trip, you will not only get an enriching experience but also get to enjoy the Spitian hospitality. The trip involves both walking at high altitudes and the comfort of sleeping at a cozy village home. You will get to see ancient mummies, monasteries, prehistoric fossils and some of the highest villages in the world, including Chitkul which is the last village of India.

    Please note that the minimum group size required to book this trip is 6 people.
