Camping in Spiti Valley

If you are a person that always mixes adventure and travel, then camping in Spiti Valley is your best bet. The idea of staying inside the tents that are surrounded by perching hillocks, rocky terrains, and clear skies is one of the best experiences you can have here.

There are quite a few permanent camping sites like Palla Ecotourism Camping Site and Juniper Valley Camps that provide you with their own tents and gears. They also engage the visitors with several bold activities like trekking, river crossing, rock climbing, and some fun group games like tug-of-war, treasure hunt, and a few more.

These campsites are one of the best options for you and your daring gang to come and spend a fun time together in Lahaul-Spiti.

But also, the best thing about Spiti Valley camping is that you can bring your own equipment and build your tent in the remotest locations in the valley. With this, you can also save on a big chunk of money that is usually spent on accommodation.

There are several towns, villages and other ideal locations in the peaceful Lahaul-Spiti for camping. But if you are travelling solo, keep in mind that rather than camping out in the wild, it is better to set up a tent in small settlements that are safe, have some civilization, but also away from the tourist crowds.

You can choose from some of the great spots from where you can witness the lofty snow-capped Himalayas. With the unpredictable weather conditions and high altitudes in the valley, the air is quite thin and the barren, almost desert-like land is a thrilling experience only for the fittest.

Make sure you get acclimatized for higher altitudes and then head up for higher camping.

Lahaul and Spiti are also the favoured base camping sites among avid trekkers who want to further climb up the snowy mountains. They set up their base camps here and go further north for the arduous trekking. Also, there are two sparkling rivers called Chandra and Bagha that flow melodiously through this town, and their banks make for the most tranquil locations to put up a tent.

So what are you waiting for? With such breathtaking views, crystal clear water sources and rugged mountains, the beautiful and mesmerizing valleys of Lahaul and Spiti are inviting you for a delightful tete-a-tete with mother nature through camping.
