Manali to Spiti Photos

Photos of the Scenery from Manali to Spiti in Himachal Pradesh

By , About.com Guide

The 200 kilometer (125 mile) road from Manali to Spiti is filled with spectacular ever changing scenery. From the dense forested hills of Manali, to the rocky barren planes and peaks around Chattru, and the sweeping snow covered mountains surrounding Kunzam Pass. As these Manali to Spiti photos show, it really is a visual feast that ensures you'll never be bored of the journey.

The route is popular with motorbike enthusiasts and trekkers alike.

Facilities along the way are minimal, with roadside dhabas serving basic food to hungry stomachs. Don't expect to find many toilet facilities either. In this region, calls of nature are actually answered out amongst nature!
