Spiti valley
mountains
Located in the cold desert of Himachal Pradesh, Batal is that wild, untamed beauty you didn’t know you needed in your travel plans. This tiny settlement, at an altitude of 4,000 meters, is the ultimate stop for adventurers heading towards Chandratal Lake or crossing the Kunzum Pass. Batal is famous for the legendary Chacha-Chachi Dhaba, which is a popular stop on all Spiti Valley Packages.
What makes it unique is its isolation. No hotels, no luxury, just pure, unfiltered nature. The rocky terrain, the wild winds, and the sense of nothingness around make it a dream spot for those who crave raw adventure.
There are no official timings, but it’s best to visit between June and September when the roads are open.

Great Trip. Very Adventurous indeed. Sent that postcard from Hikkim to my grandmother who has always wanted to travel but couldn't. She called me crying. That one small thing made me emotional the whole evening. The package was great but that moment is what I'll carry forever. Thank you Viacation.

Being from Sikkim I thought I knew cold. Spiti in winter is another level completely. What I loved was how untouched everything felt. No crowds at any of the monasteries, no noise in Kibber, just snow and silence everywhere. Viacation planned this beautifully.
