Mountains, Memories & Us

We took the Spiti trip with Backpacker XP as a couple, and it felt like living inside a dream. The perfect mix of adventure and serenity — from holding hands under the stars at Chandratal to sharing Maggi at 14,000 ft. Everything was beautifully planned. Spiti gave us stories, and Backpacker XP gave us comfort.

Four Friends, One Epic Spiti Ride

Joined Backpacker XP’s Spiti trip with three of my closest friends — and it turned out to be the adventure of a lifetime. From snow-covered roads to late-night laughs by the bonfire, every moment was unreal. The crew, the vibe, the planning — all top-notch. Spiti gave us stories we’ll never stop telling.
