Spiti in November
D1
Day 01
Day 01Delhi → Shimla (overnight drive)
- Stay
- Dinner
Board in Delhi in the evening. Introductions happen in the first hour and the batch group chat has usually already been going for a week.
D2
Day 02
Day 02Shimla → Chitkul
- Stay
- Breakfast
- Dinner
Up the Sutlej valley to the last inhabited village before the Tibet border. Cold, green, and very quiet. First night at altitude.
D3
Day 03
Day 03Chitkul → Kalpa → Nako
- Stay
- Breakfast
- Dinner
Kinnaur Kailash from Kalpa at sunrise if the clouds allow, then the landscape turns from pine to bare rock in the space of two hours. Night at Nako.
D4
Day 04
Day 04Nako → Tabo → Kaza
- Stay
- Breakfast
- Dinner
Tabo monastery — 1,000 years of continuous use — then Dhankar hanging above the confluence. Into Kaza by evening; this is your acclimatisation base.
D5Day 05
Day 05Key, Kibber, Hikkim, Langza
- Stay
- Breakfast
- Dinner
The postcard day. Key monastery stacked up its hillside, the fossil village at Langza, and a postcard posted from Hikkim at 4,400m — it genuinely arrives.
D6
Day 06
Day 06Kaza → Chandratal
- Stay
- Breakfast
- Dinner
Over Kunzum La to the moon lake. No network, no buildings, a camp beside the water. Sleep late — the sky is the reason you came.
D7
Day 07
Day 07Chandratal → Manali
- Stay
- Breakfast
- Dinner
Down the Rohtang side through Batal and Gramphu — the roughest and most spectacular stretch of the whole loop. Warm shower and a real bed in Manali.
D8
Day 08
Day 08Manali → Delhi
- Breakfast
Overnight drive back, arriving Delhi early morning. The group chat does not stop.

why it's different with them
What you actually get
because Meher's there.
- 01Women-only room matching sorted before you board — not negotiated at the hotel desk at midnight
- 02I share the full route with your emergency contact if you want it, before we leave
- 03A proper what-to-pack call the week before, on video, where you can hold things up and ask
- 04I've slept in every stay on these routes. If I wouldn't put my sister there, it's not on the itinerary
“Half my DMs are one question: will I be okay on my own? Come with me once and you'll stop asking.”
things people actually DM meher
I've never travelled alone. Is this a bad first attempt?
It's the best one. You get the independence of going alone with fourteen people who also came alone, and a captain whose whole job is the boring logistics.
Are the batches women-only?
The batches are mixed, the rooms are not. You'll share with women, matched by age. If you'd rather a women-only batch, message me — we run a few every season.
What if I hate everyone?
Then you'll have a quiet week with good views, and that's allowed. Nobody makes you do the group games.
Periods, safety, all of it — can I ask you?
Yes, and please do. That's most of what I get asked and none of it is awkward to me.
still deciding?
Ask Meher anything.
Not a call centre — Meher runs these batches personally and answers the messages. Fitness, food, what the rooms are actually like, whether it suits a first-timer. Ask before you book, not after.
