Great news for all Spiti Valley enthusiasts! As of mid-June 2025, the majestic Spiti Valley and the ethereal Chandratal Lake are fully open and ready to welcome you!

After the winter's snowy embrace, the Himalayan passes have cleared, marking the official start of the trekking and camping season.

Key Dates & Current Status (June 18, 2025):

• Kunzum Pass (Kunzum La) is OPEN! This vital gateway connecting Lahaul and Spiti, and your route to Chandratal, opened in late May/early June 2025.
• Chandratal Lake is OPEN! Access to the Moon Lake is now fully restored, with campsites near the lake operational and ready for your starry nights.
• Both Manali and Shimla routes into Spiti Valley are accessible. Your journey from either side is clear.

Why Losar (and Samsara Camps) is Your Smartest Stop:

Whether you're coming from the Manali side, having just traversed high passes, or from Kaza, Losar is your essential acclimatization point.

• Losar Altitude: Approximately 3,900 meters (12,800 feet)
• Chandratal Altitude: Approximately 4,300 meters (14,100 feet)

This crucial difference means Losar offers a much-needed, relatively warmer, and more comfortable environment for your body to adjust. Don't rush to Chandratal directly; prioritize your health and comfort.

Book your acclimatization stay at Samsara Camps in Losar today and make your Spiti Valley adventure safe, comfortable, and truly unforgettable. The mountains are calling, and they're open!
