spiti valley is accessible throughout year via kinnaur from shimla route on a difficult road. tourists from outside india need inner line permits to enter spiti through kinnaur. spiti's border start at samdo (74 km from kaza) which is quite near to india–china border. in summer it can be reached via manali through rohtang pass and kunzum pass. manali is 201 km away from kaza headquarters of the spiti subdivision. although road joining manali to spiti is treacherous and in bad condition as compared to shimla to spiti. due to high elevation one is likely to feel altitude sickness in spiti. shimla to spiti route must be preferred for the travelers coming from different parts as it gives them enough time to get acclimatized to the high altitude and thus less prone to altitude sickness. this is because of the fact that the road runs simply parellel to the sutlej river initially and then from samdo onwards, along the spiti river, right up to kaza. the gradient of this road is quite gentle, barring a few stretches around nako. this route is considered to be more picturesque as compared to the manali to kaza route.
