Bike Tour Spiti 10 Days

Your Spiti Valley motorcycle adventure starts with an early morning ride from Delhi, through the plains of Haryana and into the lush hills of Himachal Pradesh. The journey begins on wide open highways before the terrain changes into winding mountain roads, climbing steadily in altitude.

You’ll pass through Kalka, Solan, and Shimla, taking in the changing landscapes—from busy cities to forests and apple orchards. After crossing Shimla, head to Theog, a peaceful hill town at 8,000 ft known for its calm atmosphere and stunning views of the Himalayan ranges.

Check into your cozy mountain stay and relax after the long ride. In the evening, relax by a cozy bonfire followed by a warm welcome dinner.

After a restful night in Theog, get ready for an epic adventure deeper into the Himalayan mountains. After breakfast, hit the road on the Hindustan-Tibet Road, one of the most thrilling and adventurous highways in India. Along the way, stop in Rampur Bushahr to admire the royal Padam Palace, a beautiful example of traditional Himachali architecture.

From there, the road takes you through dramatic cliffs like Tranda Dhank, carved into sheer rock faces, offering breathtaking views of the Sutlej River below. As you ride deeper into Kinnaur Valley, the air gets crispier and the scenery more surreal.
