Your Spiti adventure begins with an overnight Volvo journey from Delhi to Manali. Board the bus around 6:00 to 9:00 PM from RK Ashram Marg Metro Station, Mandi House, or Kashmiri Gate Bus Stand. Relax and enjoy the comfortable ride as you head towards the Himalayan region, preparing for the scenic and adventurous journey ahead.

Upon arrival in Manali, check in to your hotel (check-in time: after 11:30 AM) and take time to acclimatize to the Himalayan altitude.
