The Spiti Biking Expedition was more than just a road trip—it was a journey of adventure, connection, and self-discovery. Over the span of 7 days, we rode through some of the most breathtaking landscapes in Himachal Pradesh, starting from Manali and covering hidden gems like Jibhi, Sangla, Chitkul, Nako, Kaza, and the mystical Chandrataal Lake. From conquering high-altitude passes like Jalori and Kunzum to exploring ancient monasteries and remote villages like Hikkim and Komic, every moment was packed with raw beauty and adrenaline. Riding alongside a passionate group of travelers, we shared stories, meals, laughter, and unforgettable memories under starlit skies. The mix of adventure, culture, and scenic solitude made this expedition a perfect escape from routine life. With strong mechanical support, curated stays, and an enthusiastic team, this ride gave me the perfect balance of thrill and comfort. Spiti has etched itself in my heart forever.

Just did the Himachal Trip with BykoJourneys and probably is one of my best decisions of 2023 !! An awesome team of our trip captains nikhil and naveen who are super chilled out & fun to hang out with.We did have some feedback for the trip leaders at the beginning which was heard and we saw changes in the subsequent days, which was awesome. BykoJourneys team is open to feedback and did their best to make us comfortable. The stays/ hotels booked were safe, clean and awesome..no complaints there. Overall a fun trip with a fun gang ! Will probably do another one with Byko soon. Thanks for the memories Byko !!
