2N/3D Manali – Shinkula Pass – Jispa Adventure Itinerary

Shinkula Pass (16,615 ft) is one of the rawest, remotest, and most thrilling Himalayan mountain passes you can conquer by road. Nestled on the Manali–Zanskar route, this high-altitude gateway offers untouched landscapes, glacier-fed streams, and snow walls even in summer—without the tourist rush of Ladakh.

Unlike the often-commercialized Manali-Leh route, Shinkula is offbeat, unfiltered, and untamed, making it a dream come true for bikers, explorers, and altitude chasers.

Whether you’re crossing Atal Tunnel to Sissu, camping riverside in Jispa, or pushing towards the icy ridges of Shinkula, this route delivers adrenaline, silence, and surreal views in one explosive combo.

If your soul craves adventure beyond Rohtang, solitude beyond Spiti, and stories written on gravel roads, then Shinkula Pass is your next big travel badge.
