Know Before You Go
- Travelers are advised to carry a copy of any relevant medical certificates (if applicable) for reference during the trip, especially if they have pre-existing medical conditions.

- Be prepared for quick weather changes, with temperatures ranging from warm days to freezing nights. Pack layered clothing, including thermal wear, gloves, and a windproof jacket.
- Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water, even if you don’t feel thirsty, as the altitude can make you unaware of dehydration.
- Spiti Valley is at high altitudes (over 10,000 ft.), so it’s important to acclimatize to avoid altitude sickness.
