Hi Valley of Spiti is beautiful every sq.ft.
You have to reach Keylong from Manali ( around 8 hours drive from Manalli) Read my post on Manali Leh road uptodates.
From Keylong starts the all routes around Spiti.The good thing is that every part of the valley is atleast well connected by HPRTC buses.
wish u miles of smiles

Thanks for the info, could you also tell me weather we would be able to complete the following trip in around 9 days and weather we can cover some more himachal in the same time or a better route rather... the places we are planning to cover in this period are .. manali, losar, kaza, kibber, dhankar, kungri, PIN valley.... is there a possibility for covering more places or 9 days are enough for it .... if u could suggest a better route then that would be really helpful .... we can extend the trip for a couple of days also if the route is good....
regards

Hi,

I dont know how r u goin to do it ... I suggest independent trip in a Jeep is a great way to do it .. Do it from Kinnaur side .. More like a road trip ... Just the feeling of being on the road .. it works ... Give 11-12 days .. If 5 ppl I guess 10-11 K's is a good amount you can do it in with some shopping also included .. Cheers
