Winter Spiti from Hyderabad: A Door-to-Door Plan

Kibber village houses, Spiti

Check current flight options from Hyderabad to Delhi and Chandigarh, then use the plan below.

Step 1: pick a start city. Delhi gives more flights. Chandigarh gives a shorter road distance. Ask your operator where they pick up.

Step 2: arrive a day early. A morning departure from the hills leaves little room for a delayed flight.

Step 3: road days. In winter, Spiti is reached from Shimla through Kinnaur, since the Kunzum route is closed. Keep expectations for road delays.

Step 4: spare days. Plan at least one buffer day at the end, and a return flight that can be changed.

Step 5: kit. Thermals, insulated jacket, gloves, cap, thick socks, sturdy shoes, personal medicines, power bank and sunscreen.

Step 6: documents. ID, bookings, insurance and the operator's emergency number.

A door-to-door plan is only as good as its spare day.
