Summers are the most ideal season to visit Spiti Valley. All routes remain open from May to September and the weather is pleasant. Winters in Spiti Valley is a different experience altogether. If you want to experience snow and sub-zero temperatures, this is the best experience for you. However, some routes close down during winters and Chandratal, Rohtang Pass and Kunzum Pass remain inaccessible due to heavy snow.

The days are warm and sunny during the summers in Spiti, with temperatures ranging around 25 degrees Celsius. However, the nights get cold and chilly with temperatures dropping to 5 degrees even in summers. Winters are cold and harsh, and temperatures remain well below zero throughout the day. The days are usually minus -5 degrees and nights dip down to minus 15 degrees!

Regardless of which season you choose to travel to Spiti, it’s important to carry enough warm clothes. In summers, a simple cotton T-shirt and pants suffice during the day but at night, at least two-three layers of warm clothes would be needed. Layering is very necessary during the winters. Start with a base layer, followed by a fleece jacket, a sweater and finally a heavy winter jacket. Wear a base layer beneath your bottoms as well.

Altitude mountain sickness (AMS) occurs in high altitude regions due to lower levels of oxygen. Since Spiti Valley starts at an altitude of 3,800 meters above sea level, AMS is quite common there. Symptoms include shortness of breath, headache, and dizziness/ nausea. To prevent AMS, it is important to acclimatize well, drink water at regular intervals and eat healthy food. It is advised to not smoke or drink as they can aggravate AMS.

Since smoking and drinking aggravate altitude mountain sickness, we advise our guests to not engage in these activities.
