Trip Overview
The Spiti Bike Trip from Delhi is a Himalayan road journey for riders who want to explore the complete Spiti circuit on two wheels. Starting from Delhi, the journey takes you to Jibhi, where the main bike ride begins. From there, the route continues through Kinnaur and Spiti before exiting towards Manali.
The route takes you across mountain roads, remote villages, river valleys, high-altitude areas, and some of the most challenging riding sections of the Spiti circuit.
Over 9 Nights and 10 Days, you'll travel from Delhi to Jibhi and continue riding through Chitkul, Kalpa, Dhankar, Kaza, Chandratal, and Manali. Along the way, you will visit old monasteries, high-altitude villages, and some of the main places across Spiti Valley.
Every riding day brings different road conditions and landscapes, making this journey suitable for riders who want to experience Spiti beyond regular sightseeing.
Why Choose a Spiti Bike Trip from Delhi Instead of a Regular Road Trip?
Many travellers visit Spiti Valley in a car or Tempo Traveller, but exploring the region on a bike gives you a completely different connection with the road and surroundings.
The Spiti Bike Trip from Delhi allows you to travel through the changing landscapes of Himachal Pradesh while experiencing every section of the route more closely. From the green roads around Jibhi and the Baspa Valley near Chitkul to the dry mountains of Spiti and the rough tracks towards Chandratal, every section requires a different style of riding.
The route also follows a gradual increase in altitude through Kinnaur before reaching the higher regions of Spiti. Stops at Jibhi, Chitkul, Kalpa, and Dhankar help break the journey into manageable riding days before reaching Kaza.
Unlike a regular road trip where you spend most of your time inside a vehicle, a bike trip puts you directly on the mountain roads. You experience changing temperatures, road surfaces, river crossings, mountain passes, and long riding sections throughout the journey.
This trip is best suited for riders who are comfortable handling a bike for long hours and are prepared for rough roads, changing weather, and high-altitude conditions.

The Royal Enfield Scram 440 is a great option for riders who spend most of their journey on highways but also want the capability to handle light off-road trails. It offers a comfortable ride with better city and highway performance than a traditional adventure bike.
The KTM 390 Adventure is perfect for experienced riders who want a lightweight, performance-oriented motorcycle. Its powerful engine, modern electronics, and agile handling make it one of the fastest and most capable bikes for Spiti Valley.
