What a winter snow-leopard tracking trip to Kibber, Spiti is really like: honest sighting odds, the cost ladder, the conservation that funds it, the Kinnaur winter route, and how to view the cat without harming it.
Chandratal opens late May to mid-June 2026. Lakeside camping is banned, the lake is a Ramsar wetland. Swiss tents Rs 1,200 to 2,500. The Kaza side via Kunzum beats a Manali day trip on every count except distance from Delhi.
Six hundred and twenty-two percent. That is what the Atal Tunnel did to tourism in Lahaul Valley. Before October 2020, Lahaul was six hours from Kullu and cut off six months a year.

A Kinnauri riders guide to Spiti on a Royal Enfield. Which bike (411 vs 450 vs XPulse), where to fuel, jerry can math, spare parts, mechanic map, water crossing technique, Gramphu-Batal survival, and a 12-day Shimla-Kinnaur-Spiti-Manali loop that lets your body acclimatise properly. By Ajay Negi.

Two routes compared, the dirt-road sections nobody warns you about, fuel and cash and signal maps, AMS protocol, a 10-day itinerary that actually works, and what 2026 costs in real rupees.
