Beyond the popular villages lie lesser-known gems—places like Lhalung, Mane, and Demul that few tourists visit. Reaching them requires patience and flexibility, but that’s what backpacking is about. You’ll find untouched trails, pristine lakes, and locals eager to share stories over butter tea. Traveling these offbeat routes lets you experience Spiti’s quieter, more personal side. It’s a reminder that the best adventures aren’t always on maps—they’re discovered on dusty paths and mountain turns.
