We would like to share the following information before you plan to drive to Spiti in winters!!!

Harsh Weather Conditions and Sub-Zero Temperatures

The minimum temperature in Kaza goes down to -20˚C and will further drop as the winter progress. It’s colder than your freezer at home. There are many places in the world which might be colder than Spiti and you may not find the luxury of brands to keep you warm enough neither do the houses in Spiti have central heating. Inside temperature of the house is around -1 degrees.

Road Condition- Snow on the road

While driving to Spiti in winters you will surely find ice and snow on the road. Roads after Sumdo are maintained by the GREF and they are not very regular in cleaning the Snow. This means the road will be slippery and you will have to be extra careful while driving on it.

Driving on the Hindustan Tibet highway in Kinnaur valley can be very unpredictable. Be prepared for ANYTHING- Shooting stones, landslides, ice and frozen roads, slush, water crossings, heavy snow fall, freezing temperatures etc. Expect the unexpected on this trip and be prepared for a chilling adventure!!!

Go Boundless Team has expertise in snow driving. Before starting the trip, we will provide you complete guidance.

4×4 vehicle and Snow Chains are mandatory for the drive.

Vehicle Trouble and Preparations

Subzero temperature can cause a lot of troubles in your vehicle. Diesel driven cars are prone to more problems due to freezing than petrol driven cars. There won’t be any mechanics available in Kaza in the winters. Go Boundless team has expert mechanics travelling along with the convoy who will help fix minor problems in your car. It is mandatory that your car should be serviced properly and you must follow the below mentioned instructions-

  • Only use winter grade engine oil and coolant.
  • Do not mix water in the coolant.
  • If possible, mix diesel with Anti-Gel or anti-freeze chemicals.
  • Keep your tank full and try not to park your car in the open.
  • There won’t be any puncture shops after Kinnaur, so make sure all tyres
  • Including the spare are in good shape.

 

Go Boundless Team has an equipped backup vehicle to winch you out wherever
required but we request you to prepare well.

Toilets (Dry Toilets)

English Toilets with Bucket water for flushing.

Warm water is provided in the Buckets for freshening up.

 

Note: Sometimes the sewage systems freeze, so you have to make do with Dry-Toilets. Dry toilets do not smell. Also, make sure you flush with a shovel full of compost after you are done.

Stay and Food

All the hotels are closed at this time. Few home stay options are available in Kaza. Go Boundless has an exclusive tie-up with locals in Kaza. You will get a chance to
