This article is about when to go to Spiti Valley, how to go, where to go, etc. so that you do not have to search anywhere else.
Introduction:
Very few people know the name of Spiti Valley, as this place, like other tourist destinations, has not yet received much publicity. It seems that is why most of the natural beauty of the place is still intact. But I realized that it will not last long.
Spiti Valley is a place in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh, which lies between Shimla and Manali. But the road is completely different from the road from Shimla to Manali.
post by Nipun Hazra. Many compare Spiti Valley to Ladakh and ask - which is more beautiful? Remember, Ladakh and Spiti are two completely different places. Even the Lahal Valley that falls on the way to Ladakh is very close to the Spiti Valley, but the two are naturally separated.
Many people do not find Spiti Valley on the map again. This is because Spiti Valley is not the name of a short place or town or village. It is a vast area with many small villages and some towns, the capital of which is Qaza.
So let's come to the main discussion.
How to get there:
From Bangladesh you have to reach Delhi first by road or by air. From Delhi you can reach Shimla by road or by air. Going by air will take much less hassle and time, but it will take more money, and going by road will take less money, but it will take much more time. But there is a "but" here. If you do it by road, it will take you 2-4 days to reach Shimla from Dhaka. But it is very difficult for Bangladeshis to manage train tickets for Kolkata day by day after reaching Kolkata, in most cases it is not available. In that case you have to stay in Kolkata at night. The Kolkata-Kolkata train journey is about 36-40 hours. It takes about 4 hours by toy train to reach Kolkata-Shimla. The cost of this method is the lowest. Another idea is to take the Kolkata-Delhi train, then the bus from there to Shimla. All in all, if you can buy a plane ticket in advance, then there is not much difference between the cost of air and by road, but you can get on the plane without any hassle.
There are basically two routes to Spiti Valley. One with Shimla, the other with Manali. Those who want to cover the whole of Spiti Valley usually enter through Shimla and exit through Manali, which is called Full circuit. This is because the progress from Shimla to the height is a bit slow, which makes the acclimatization easier, but this route takes a bit longer. And those who have less time in their hands, or have no desire to make a full circuit, they usually come through Manali "Kaza", then give a day trip around.
But if you ask me, I would say that if you go to Spiti Valley, full circuit should be given. And I personally like the environment around the road from Shimla to Kaza. But the way to Manali is also very beautiful, a lot like a dream. The main difference is that it takes a little longer to reach Kaza from Shimla (2-4 days) and from Manali (1-2 days). So if you stay in Shimla, it takes more time to change the nature of the surroundings, you will see more green. The road on the Shimla side is also quite paved and is open for 12 months of the year.
When to go:
There are two times to give a trip to Spiti Valley - Summer and Winter. In two seasons, Spiti looks completely different. In winter, Spiti Valley is completely covered with snow. Somewhere the temperature drops to -20 to -30 degrees. If anyone wants to see snow or snowfall, they should go from mid-February to mid-March at this time. However, at this time you can not go from Kaza to Manali (vice versa), because the road is closed. In fact, there is no road from Chandratal to a large part of Manali. You have to drive through the rocks. If anyone wants to do Winter Spiti, he has to do a lot of planning, because it is not for everyone. Those who are very adventurous travelers and have traveled to a few high Himalayan areas, should not go without that time, because the weather is very unfavorable.
