Traveling to Spiti with Gotrip means experiencing this high-altitude desert in the most meaningful way slow drives through dramatic landscapes, ancient monasteries standing still in time, and nights filled with stars brighter than city dreams. When you reach Chandrataal Lake, everything changes. The turquoise water reflecting snow-covered peaks, the stillness of the mountains, and the crisp air make you pause and simply exist in the moment. Camping near Chandrataal under a sky full of stars becomes one of those memories you carry forever.From the spiritual calm of Key Monastery, to the rugged roads of Spiti, to the surreal beauty of Chandrataal this journey is about disconnecting from routine and reconnecting with yourself.
With Gotrip’s community trips, the experience becomes even more special. You travel with like-minded explorers, share stories around bonfires, conquer mountain roads together, and turn strangers into lifelong travel friends.
