Driving from Delhi to Spiti Valley is ideal for travelers seeking freedom and flexibility. The two main routes—via Shimla or Manali—are scenic and challenging. A self-drive SUV or a sturdy hatchback with good ground clearance is recommended. Start early, take breaks, and acclimatize properly. Always check weather updates and road conditions, especially near high passes like Kunzum and Rohtang. A 9–10 day round trip gives enough time to explore Spiti while staying safe on the road.
