Planning a budget trip to Spiti Valley and wondering how much it will actually cost you? I get this question almost every other day on the blog and in the DwD Community. The good news is that Spiti Valley is still one of the most affordable Himalayan destinations if you plan wisely. In this guide, I will share practical tips that I personally follow to keep costs down on every Spiti trip, along with actual 2026 prices so you can plan with confidence.
Quick Answer: A budget trip to Spiti Valley in 2026 costs roughly Rs 1,200 to Rs 1,500 per person per day covering food, homestay, and local transport. A complete 10-day trip from Delhi can be done for Rs 12,000 to Rs 18,000 per person using HRTC buses and homestays. Keep reading for a detailed breakdown and money-saving tips.
Let's quickly dive into the details:
Can You Make a Budget Trip to Spiti Valley in 2026?
Absolutely, yes. Spiti Valley, popularly called the middle land, has grown enormously in popularity over the last few years. Ladakh is pretty much like another Manali now :D. Hotels are on the rise in Spiti Valley, and so is the overall budget with the involvement of travel agencies and tour operators.
Having said that, there are tons of budget travelers like me who look forward to making an affordable trip to any place. And Spiti Valley is no different. The major challenge when making trips to places like Spiti or Ladakh is that you need a good number of days at hand. Even in my recommended most popular itinerary for Spiti Valley, you need at least 10-11 days to complete the full road trip circuit.
Hence, the impact of the daily budget becomes very critical on the overall cost of a Spiti Valley trip. In this article, let me help you with some important and tested tips for making a budget trip to Spiti Valley in 2026.

How Much Does a Budget Trip to Spiti Valley Cost in 2026?
Before we get into the tips, let me give you a realistic budget breakdown so you know what numbers to expect. These are based on actual 2026 prices that I have verified through the DwD Community and recent travelers.
| Expense Category | Budget (Per Person/Day) | Mid-Range (Per Person/Day) |
|---|---|---|
| Accommodation | Rs 200-350 (homestay, shared) | Rs 500-800 (guesthouse, private room) |
| Food (3 meals) | Rs 400-500 (dhabas + homestay meals) | Rs 600-900 (restaurants + cafes) |
| Local Transport | Rs 200-400 (shared taxi/bus) | Rs 800-1,200 (private taxi, shared among 4) |
| Miscellaneous | Rs 100-200 | Rs 200-400 |
| Daily Total | Rs 1,200-1,500 | Rs 2,100-3,300 |
For a complete 10-day Spiti circuit from Delhi, your total budget (including Delhi to Spiti and back) works out to roughly Rs 12,000 to Rs 18,000 per person on a strict budget using HRTC buses and homestays. If you are traveling mid-range with a private taxi shared among 4-5 friends, expect Rs 22,000 to Rs 35,000 per person. I have covered the detailed math in my article on calculating the cost of a Spiti Valley trip.
What Are the Transport Options and Their Costs for Spiti Valley?
Transport is the single biggest chunk of your Spiti trip budget. The mode you choose can make or break your overall cost. Here is a comparison of the three main options as of 2026.
| Mode | Cost (Per Person, 10 Days) | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| HRTC Bus | Rs 2,500-4,000 | Solo travelers, strict budgets |
| Shared/Private Taxi | Rs 8,000-12,000 (shared among 4) | Groups of 3-5, comfort + flexibility |
| Self-Drive Car | Rs 3,500-5,000 (fuel only, shared among 4) | Experienced drivers, maximum flexibility |
Key HRTC bus fares as of 2026: Delhi to Reckong Peo costs about Rs 1,200. Reckong Peo to Kaza is about Rs 485. Shimla to Kaza direct costs Rs 600-900. Manali to Kaza (seasonal, June to October) costs about Rs 200. You can read more about the public transport option in my detailed guide on budget trip to Spiti Valley by public transport.
Taxi daily rates: If you hire a taxi from Shimla or Chandigarh, expect Rs 5,000 to Rs 6,000 per day depending on the season and your negotiation skills. A one-way Shimla to Kaza drop in a sedan (Dzire/Etios) costs around Rs 5,400, while an Innova costs about Rs 6,900. You can always get connected with reliable local taxi drivers through our list of taxi drivers in Kinnaur and Spiti Valley.
What Are the Best Tips for a Budget Road Trip to Spiti Valley?
Now let me share the tips that I personally follow when planning a trip to Spiti Valley to keep a check on my budget. I am sure these will also help you optimize the cost of your Spiti Valley road trip without making a big dent in your pocket 🙂 …
1. Should You Travel in Shoulder Season to Save Money?
Yes, and this is probably the single most effective way to cut costs. When you travel to Spiti in winter (off-season), there are upsides as well as downsides. But the sweet spot for budget travelers is the shoulder months: May when the season is about to start, or September-October when the season is winding down. The biggest advantage of these months is that stay options are pretty much about to open or close, and hence are more than welcoming to tourists. This gives you three levers to pull.
- Walk-in bookings: Instead of pre-booking your stay, you can book on the spot because the majority of stay options will be available due to fewer tourists. This means better rates and more negotiating power.
- Better deals on rooms: Hotels and guesthouses are ready to offer lucrative deals like a free extra bed, allow more than three people in one room, or give good discounts. In our trips, most guesthouses did not even care if we were 3 or 4 in the rooms.
- Less rush, more peace: Fewer tourists means less crowding and more time at your favorite spots. You do not have to wait for tourists to clear a spot and then take a photo. Spiti Valley feels far more peaceful in the shoulder months.
- Homestay availability: Homestays in Spiti Valley will be easily available to reduce the overall budget. Most homestays charge Rs 400-700 per room in shoulder season.
In case you are wondering about the downsides: in May, you cannot travel on the route from Kaza to Manali as the road over Kunzum Pass is closed due to snow. Hence, you cannot complete the full Spiti Valley circuit. You can only do the Shimla-Kinnaur route and return the same way. In the season-end months of September-October, it starts to get cold and winds get nippier especially at night. However, the cold can be managed by carrying proper clothes on your Spiti Valley trip.
Pro Tip: For the best balance of weather, access, and budget, I suggest the last two weeks of September. Both routes are open, crowds have thinned out, and you can negotiate 20-30% lower rates at most guesthouses. Check the best time to visit Spiti Valley month by month for detailed guidance.
2. How Does Traveling in a Group of 3-5 Members Save Money?
Traveling in a group of 3-5 members opens up a good number of options to save cost and make a budget trip to Spiti. For example, as mentioned above in Tip #1, some hotels may give you a free extra bed. Hence, if you are three people, you get a room with a discount plus a free extra bed, but you divide the cost by three. So you are getting a discount as well as saving money.
When we talk about commute options, traveling in a group of 4-5 means the cost of the taxi is shared optimally while you stay comfortable in the car too. According to me, the following guidelines work best for your mode of transport.
- 1-2 people: Choose bike rental or shared taxis. Hitchhike or use public transport wherever possible, especially on routes of less interest like Delhi to Shimla or Manali to Delhi highway.
- 3-5 people: Choose a taxi or a self-drive car of SUV type. At Rs 5,000-6,000 per day split among 4 people, that is just Rs 1,250-1,500 per person per day for comfortable travel.
- 6-10 people: Choose a Tempo Traveller which will save you directly about 55-60% over hiring two separate taxis, and you travel together as a group.
Of course, self-drive or self-ride on your own car or bike is always the cheapest and the most flexible way to commute on any trip. If you are doing a self-drive with 4 people, the total fuel cost for a 10-day Spiti circuit comes to roughly Rs 14,000, which is about Rs 3,500 per person. That is significantly cheaper than any other option.
Pro Tip: If you are doing a self-drive to Spiti Valley, make sure to read 40 Must-Have Things to Carry on a Self Drive Trip to the Himalayas. Also keep in mind that there are limited petrol pumps en route. Fuel up at Kaza, Tabo, and Pooh. The stretch from Kalpa to Kaza has no fuel pumps, so fill your tank at Kalpa.
What Is the Shimla to Spiti Valley Taxi Fare in 2026?
You can hire a taxi from Shimla, Chandigarh, or Delhi to travel on the road to Spiti Valley via Kinnaur Valley. It is always better to hire an SUV like Xylo, Scorpio, or Innova for these mountain roads. As of 2026, daily taxi charges range from Rs 5,000 to Rs 6,000 per day from Shimla, depending upon the season, the number of days you will travel, and your bargaining skills. A one-way Shimla to Kaza sedan costs about Rs 5,400 while an Innova costs around Rs 6,900. If you are traveling in a group, this becomes quite affordable per person.
You can always get connected with local taxi drivers in this list of taxi drivers in Kinnaur and Spiti Valley.
3. Why Should You Make On-the-Spot Bookings for Stay and Transport?
If your luck does not work out well, a lot can go wrong in high-altitude places like Spiti Valley. Roadblocks, landslides, acute mountain sickness, or health issues are a few things that hover over any Spiti Valley trip.
When you pre-book, you also lose the flexibility of staying longer at a place that you really like. Or you may end up rushing madly to make up for lost time after a landslide, just to reach your pre-booked overnight stay. You should consider the following things when you bring costs into play. These will help you keep a check and plan a budget Spiti trip.
In a place like Spiti Valley, if you are not too choosy or finicky over particular things, you will certainly find some guesthouse or a homestay to spend the night. So you can rely upon on-spot bookings if you check a few places on arrival. It will also help you stay flexible to make changes to your plan while on the trip. You can always keep the article on the list of good places to stay in Spiti Valley handy with you to keep in touch with them on the go. If you are traveling in a taxi, your taxi driver will help you easily find a nice place to stay within your budget.
Keep in mind: When traveling in the Himalayas, always tend to follow my golden rule of Leave Early, Sleep Early. When doing on-the-spot bookings, the key is to arrive early so the owner knows you have time to explore other options. The later you reach, the less bargaining power you have because soon it will be dark. Hotel owners will know that you do not have many options or energy to explore further.
4. How to Choose Budget Accommodation Wisely in Spiti Valley?
You should forget the word “hotel” when you travel on a budget or a Spiti Valley backpacking trip. Most part of your day will be on the road or outside while traveling and sightseeing around Kaza. Hence, any decent homestay or guesthouse with cleanliness, comfortable beds, and clean toilets should be a good preference for a stay.
As of 2026, budget homestays in Spiti Valley charge Rs 400-700 per room per night. In places like Kaza, Tabo, and Kalpa, you will find slightly higher rates of Rs 600-1,000 for a decent room with attached bathroom. In remote villages like Langza, Komic, and Hikkim, homestays are cheaper at Rs 300-500 per night, often including basic meals.
Sometimes the disadvantage of small homestays or guesthouses is that food may not always be available on your request. When the family prepares their food, you will get the food at that time. In case you need more flexibility with meal timings, you are better off with a guesthouse that has a kitchen. But for pure budget travel, homestays win hands down.
5. What and Where Should You Eat to Save Money on a Spiti Trip?
Eating at roadside dhabas, tea shacks, or local Tibetan food joints is going to save much more money than eating at fancy restaurants. Try some local food at homestays and limit your unnecessary spending. A typical meal at a dhaba in Spiti costs Rs 150-250, while the same meal at a restaurant in Kaza can cost Rs 300-500.
You should try to create a balance between eating at local places and good restaurants throughout the trip to get a taste of everything. Some must-try budget foods include thukpa (Tibetan noodle soup), momos, Maggi at high-altitude tea stalls, and dal-rice at dhabas. A plate of momos costs about Rs 60-100 at local joints. If your homestay offers meals, that is usually the cheapest option at Rs 100-150 for a home-cooked meal.
Well, did you read my article on 14 mistakes people commit on a Spiti Valley trip? Overspending on food is definitely one of them 🙂
6. Should You Pay for Individual Meals on a Group Trip?
Well, though in a group of friends sometimes it looks odd in our country, it is quite common to pay individually at a table in many parts of the world. I feel nothing wrong at all in it, especially when traveling with people you do not know very well or met online.
I know that things can get a bit awkward if you are not used to the practice. But it gives you good control over your food expenses. If everyone pays for what they ordered, you can additionally save about 10-12% on your overall trip because you are not subsidizing someone else’s expensive order or vice versa. This tip works especially well when you are traveling with strangers or online travel partners.
Do You Need Permits for Spiti Valley in 2026?
As of 2026, Indian citizens do not need an Inner Line Permit (ILP) for most of Spiti Valley, including Kaza, Tabo, Dhankar, Pin Valley, Langza, Hikkim, Komic, and Kibber. This was not the case a few years ago, so this is good news for budget travelers as it removes one more expense and hassle.
However, keep in mind that a forest department fee of Rs 150 per person was introduced from June 2025 for entry into certain protected areas along the Spiti circuit. This is a nominal amount and is collected at check posts. For the latest permit updates, you can refer to my detailed article on Inner Line Permits for Kinnaur and Spiti Valley.
How to Find Travel Partners for a Solo Budget Trip to Spiti Valley?
You can search for online travel partners for your solo trip to Spiti Valley in order to reduce the overall cost. At the DwD Community, we already have an easy way to spot travel partners through our dedicated and very easy-to-use DoW Travel Calendar.
Using our Travel Partners Calendar, you can pretty quickly and easily spot on which dates people are traveling. It helps you find if some group suits your preference to gel up or not. You can filter the entries based on your preferences and places of choice. So take advantage and travel in a group to reduce your travel cost and make a budget Spiti trip 🙂
Or you can join the DwD Community Facebook group as well and look out for travel partners there. Many members plan group trips to Spiti every summer season.
What About Mobile Network, ATMs, and Fuel in Spiti Valley?
These are important practical considerations that directly impact your budget planning. Here is a quick summary.
- Mobile Network: BSNL postpaid has the best coverage in Spiti Valley. Jio works in some areas like Kaza and Tabo but is unreliable in remote villages. Airtel has very limited coverage. I suggest carrying a BSNL SIM as backup. Read my detailed guide on mobile phone connectivity in Spiti Valley.
- ATMs: There are ATMs in Kaza and Reckong Peo, but they frequently run out of cash during peak season. Carry sufficient cash from Shimla, Manali, or Chandigarh before entering the Spiti circuit. I recommend carrying at least Rs 5,000-8,000 more than your estimated daily expenses as a buffer.
- Fuel Pumps: Petrol pumps are available at Kaza (world’s highest petrol pump at 12,500 feet), Tabo, and Pooh. There is no fuel pump between Kalpa and Kaza, so fill your tank at Kalpa if coming from the Shimla side. Fuel prices are slightly higher in Kaza compared to plains, around Rs 100-105 per litre for petrol as of 2026.
Conclusion
I hope this article helps you in reducing the overall cost and making a budget trip to Spiti Valley in 2026. The key takeaways are simple: travel in shoulder season, travel in a group of 3-5, use homestays and dhabas, make on-the-spot bookings, and consider HRTC buses for the cheapest transport option. A daily budget of Rs 1,200-1,500 per person is very much achievable if you follow these tips.

How much does a budget trip to Spiti Valley cost per day in 2026?
A budget trip to Spiti Valley costs approximately Rs 1,200 to Rs 1,500 per person per day in 2026, covering homestay accommodation, three meals at dhabas, and local shared transport. For a complete 10-day circuit from Delhi using HRTC buses and homestays, the total cost comes to about Rs 12,000 to Rs 18,000 per person.
Is Spiti Valley cheaper than Ladakh for a budget trip?
Yes, Spiti Valley is generally cheaper than Ladakh for budget travelers. Homestay rates in Spiti (Rs 400-700) are lower than Ladakh (Rs 800-1,500). Food costs are comparable, but transport within Spiti is cheaper because distances are shorter. However, Ladakh has better bus connectivity with JKSRTC and HRTC services.
Can I travel to Spiti Valley by HRTC bus to save money?
Yes, HRTC operates regular bus services to Spiti Valley. From Shimla, you can take a bus to Reckong Peo (Rs 450-600) and then Reckong Peo to Kaza (Rs 485). From Manali, a seasonal bus runs to Kaza from June to October for about Rs 200. The Delhi to Kaza total bus fare via Reckong Peo is approximately Rs 1,685.
Do I need a permit for Spiti Valley in 2026?
Indian citizens do not need an Inner Line Permit for most of Spiti Valley as of 2026, including Kaza, Tabo, Dhankar, Pin Valley, and the high-altitude villages. A forest department entry fee of Rs 150 per person was introduced from June 2025 for certain protected areas along the Spiti circuit.
What is the best time to visit Spiti Valley on a budget?
The best time for a budget trip to Spiti Valley is the shoulder season, specifically May or September-October. During these months, accommodation rates drop by 20-30%, rooms are easily available without advance booking, and you face less competition from other tourists. Late September offers the best balance of open roads, good weather, and lower prices.
How many days do I need for a budget Spiti Valley trip?
You need a minimum of 8-10 days for a proper Spiti Valley trip from Delhi. If you are doing only the Shimla-Kinnaur-Kaza route and returning the same way, 8 days is sufficient. For the complete circuit (Shimla to Kaza to Manali or vice versa), plan for at least 10-11 days. Using buses adds 1-2 extra days due to limited schedules.
Are there ATMs in Spiti Valley?
There are ATMs in Kaza and Reckong Peo, but they frequently run out of cash during peak season (July-August). UPI payments are accepted at some hotels and shops in Kaza, but not reliably in remote villages. I strongly suggest carrying sufficient cash from Shimla, Manali, or Chandigarh before entering the Spiti circuit.
Can I camp in Spiti Valley to save on accommodation?
Yes, camping is a great budget option in Spiti Valley, especially near Chandratal Lake, Langza, and along the Spiti River. You can pitch your own tent for free at many spots, or use organized camping sites that charge Rs 500-800 per person including meals. Keep in mind that nights are very cold even in summer (temperatures drop to 0-5 degrees Celsius), so carry a proper sleeping bag rated for sub-zero temperatures.

Hi Dheeraj,
Question about reliable of direct flight from Delhi to Shimla.
I will fly from Bangkok (Thailand) to Delhi then think about take another flight from Delhi to Shimla (operated by Alliance).
It’s quite cheap, just Rs 4,000 for return ticket, and much quicker than take a bus.
By the way, I concern about the reliable of this flight to be operate as schedule since it may affected by fog.
Do you have experience or info about the reliable of this flight ?
How likely to occur fog (that lead to flight cancelled) at Shimla or Delhi at early of April ?
Thanks
That seems quite reasonable. Fog is usually in winters only, so you should be OK in April. But, keep an eye on the schedule.

Hi, I’m planning to travel only with my 9 year old daughter.
I’m ok with non geared bikes, are they available in Spiti on rent?
How are the roads for those bikes?
We did short trips from Leh to nearby places last year, the maximum distance was some 120km till Lamayuru. The roads in Ladakh were good in most places. How’s it in Spiti?
Thanks for such a wonderful site/blog, its very helpful.
Pradnya, no such bikes are not available in Spiti valley or Manali to be taken to Spiti. Roads in Spiti Valley especially Manali – Kaza is ver very bad and worse than roads of Ladakh.
Oh I see.. Thanks for such quick response. And thanks again for creating this awesome resource. Will be visiting this often 🙂

I will request that you please refer the following articles for planning a trip to Spiti Valley: Spiti Valley via Manali | How to Plan Your Journey AND Spiti Valley via Kinnaur | How to Plan Your Journey
They have all the details. Feel free to let me know in case of any doubts
Thanks a ton. Yes I have been reading other posts on this site too.
Do you have any tips for female travellers? Leh has been real safe and I’m sure Spiti too would be same. However reaching leh was super easy too.
Also if any tips for kids, especially for making the journey better, would be great help.
I’m only worried about reaching Spiti and back. Once there I’m sure it’ll be chill.
Thanks!!
Well, nothing specific to call out in Spiti as well, you might have the same feeling, people and experience in Spiti as you had in Ladakh. Reaching Spiti, you have two options one easy: Volvo to Manali and then HRTC bus to Kaza is interested in public transport else private taxi or shared cab. However, going via Manali means the probable chance of AMS. Via Kinnaur, if you travel to Spiti, Volvo to Shimla, then bus to Reckong Peo and then bus to Kaza.
Chill will not be much as summers will settle however it will be cool. Regarding Kids, PLEASE read the article: Traveling to Ladakh or Spiti with Kids or Babies. This article covers this topic in complete detail.
We can make a group and plan this tour as I’m also keen to travel Spiti by my own
Thanks Dheeraj. Thanks a TON. Will let you know how it goes… and may come back to these pages while on the move in case I get stuck.
