Time to check one more dream off your list!

This is your chance to explore a place that is like no other place in the world - A region that Rudyard Kipling described as “…a world within a world – a valley of leagues where the high hills were fashioned of the mere rubble and refuse from off the knees of the mountain - surely the Gods live here…” This is your chance to witness a place so surreal that it will be imprinted on your mind forever – a place with rugged peaks and unbelievable earth structures and more shades of brown than you can count.

This is your chance to get SPITI-fied!
Here’s the one we have all been waiting for – the XII JT² expedition – the Big One:

JT² – Spiti Valley Tour

Road Trip to Spiti Valley

And yes… this one will get you to do the complete Spiti Circuit – all the way from scintillating Shimla to exciting Manali, covering every stretch of the mesmerising beauty that lies between. Junoon Adventure’s Spiti driving tour will get you to explore the intriguing culture of Kinnaur, the transitional landscape of Khab, the untouched realms of Jangram Valley, the peace of Tabo, Kye and Geyu monasteries, the exciting adventures of Kunzum La and Rohtang and the sheer beauty of Chandrataal Lake.
