Embarking on a Spiti Valley trip with a visit to Chandratal Lake promises an unforgettable adventure through some of the most awe-inspiring landscapes in the Himalayas. Spiti Valley, nestled in the Trans-Himalayan region of Himachal Pradesh, offers a unique blend of stark beauty, ancient culture, and spiritual richness.
The journey to Spiti often begins from Manali, traversing through high mountain passes like Rohtang Pass, where the landscape transforms dramatically into the rugged terrain of Spiti. As travelers delve deeper into the valley, they encounter ancient monasteries perched atop rocky cliffs, such as the iconic Key Monastery, offering glimpses into the region’s rich Buddhist heritage.
Chandratal Lake, also known as the Moon Lake, is a shimmering jewel tucked away amidst the towering peaks of the Himalayas. Its pristine waters reflect the surrounding snow-capped mountains, creating a mesmerizing sight that captivates the soul. Camping beside Chandratal under the star-studded sky is a surreal experience, immersing travelers in the tranquility and raw beauty of the Himalayan wilderness.
The journey to Chandratal involves navigating through winding mountain roads, adding an element of adventure to the trip. Along the way, travelers encounter quaint villages like Losar and Kaza, where they can immerse themselves in the unique culture and hospitality of the Spitian people.
Beyond its natural splendor, a Spiti trip with Chandratal offers ample opportunities for adventure and exploration. Trekking through rugged trails, interacting with local nomads, and experiencing the vibrant culture of Spiti are just a few highlights of this extraordinary journey.

Riya Jain2023-08-02Great Experience !!! The Trek guides pushed us throughout to reach our destination, the motivation that was much needed ... Clearly worth it ! Highly recommended. Looking forward to more such treks 😇😇😇anjali raote2023-08-02LBYD has always done a marvelous job, all the young energetic boys are very helpful and humble.l always look forward to do more and more treks with this team.Swati Singh2023-08-02Improvements need to be done: Please extend the timing of waterfall. No body wants to spend only half and hour in waterfall after making so many efforts to reach there. Try to make a group of 10-12 people with all your volunteers. Atleast people will know whom to follow. Introduction part was not that interesting as you just ask their name. No background of their profession and interest in trekking. Few people travel in group to find someone who can be a good travel partner. If you taking a trip at night. You should understand not all people are teenagers. Few of them are coming with you after finishing the office hours. Let them take rest rather than cheering up so that they can save their energy for the trek. Food was really good. Keep it up Volunteers were friendly Overall it was good.mahi ve2023-08-02It was a day of exhilarating experiences and breathtaking landscapes as I embarked on a thrilling trek with the LiveB4YouDie Trekking Group.

The trek tested our physical endurance, but the LiveB4YouDie team ensured that the pace was comfortable for everyone. They motivated us with encouraging words, and whenever someone needed a break, they patiently waited, making sure no one was left behind. The support and encouragement from the group members created a strong sense of unity, and we felt like one big family. During our journey, we encountered various challenges, including rocky terrains, steep ascents, and slippery trails. But overcoming each obstacle brought a sense of achievement that is hard to put into words. The LiveB4YouDie team's expertise in guiding us through these difficulties was truly commendable. The highlight of the trek was undoubtedly reaching the summit. The panoramic views from the top were awe-inspiring, and it felt like we were on top of the world. The sense of accomplishment and the bond we had formed as a group made the experience more meaningful. The LiveB4YouDie team surprised us with a delicious and well-deserved feast of local cuisine, which we enjoyed while sharing laughter, and swapping stories.
