After Rampur, the real adventure begins as we ride the iconic cliffhanger roads of Kinnaur Valley. Make sure to stop for a group shot at the famous Kinnaur Rock Gate, but stay sharp—the mountains are alive with falling rocks.

As we approach Karcham Dam, the wide highway transforms into a single-lane road that hugs the mountainside. As the road begins to climb, look back to witness the mesmerizing sunset over the valley—a moment you won't soon forget.

The journey is nothing short of epic! As we ride alongside the pristine blue waters of the Baspa River, passing through the quiet village of Raksham, the road begins to narrow, and parts of it are broken. But that only adds to the adventure as you tackle one of the most thrilling cliffhanger routes of the Spiti circuit.

When we finally reach Chitkul, the last inhabited village near the border, the charm of the place will take your breath away.

Wake up to the breathtaking sight of Kinner Kailash glistening in the morning light—it's a view you won't soon forget. After breakfast, we'll fuel up for a thrilling ride to the heart of Spiti Valley. The smooth roads to Pooh will have you itching to open up the throttle, but remember—control that urge! These winding, twisty roads come with surprises, from hairpin bends to sudden rolling stones tumbling down the mountainside.

As we leave the greenery behind, watch the landscape shift dramatically. The towering peaks gradually turn into stark, barren mountains as we enter the otherworldly Spiti Valley. The first major stop is Khab, where the Sutlej and Spiti Rivers converge—it's a jaw-dropping sight that marks the gateway to this rugged, high-altitude desert.

The ascent to Nako is steep but exhilarating. Grab a quick snack at Nako Top, where the air gets thinner, and the adventure even more intense.

Next, we're headed even higher—to Komic, the highest village on Earth connected by motorable road. At 15,027 ft, you'll be standing among snow-capped giants and ancient sea fossils that speak of a time long before humans ever roamed these lands.

We'll navigate the same narrow, one-lane road as we bid farewell to Moon Lake and rejoin the Manali-Kaza Highway.
