Yes, Spiti valley is completely safe to travel, just make sure you visit in the right months i.e during the months of May to September. The roads are a bit dangerous and are one of the toughest adventure roads to drive on. There are a lot of sections of the road where there’s gravel, making it difficult to drive, but it is always recommended to take an experienced driver with you.

Spiti valley preparation involves thoughtful planning ahead of time rather than simply packing a bag and going. The northeastern region of India is covered in snow-capped mountains, thus carrying the appropriate wool gear is necessary for high-altitude climbs. You might need to wear lightweight layers (woollen and cotton clothing) during the day and add thermals or thick coats at night. Depending on the season you choose to visit Spiti, you may need to bring regular jeans, thick pants, a pair of socks, a cap, a scarf, hiking boots, sunglasses, full-sleeved shirts, sweatshirts, gloves, mufflers, and fleece jackets.Torch, medications, sunscreen, lip balm, sanitizers, hygiene, camera equipment, chargers, and power banks are additional essentials. As you go, mobile connectivity will probably be poor.
Some of us prefer the pleasure of open riding on hilly roads and breathing in the crisp air, even though riding a bike through the valley is a wonderful rush. But make sure the rider is in charge of a robust bike that can handle the rugged terrain. Manali is the finest location to rent a bike because there are several tour companies and maintenance shops there that offer well-kept, strong bikes for rent.
Weather in Spiti is very pleasant from April-October, with the May-June temperatures around 15-20 degrees amke it a good time to visit Spiti. In winters the temperature falls as low as minus 20 degrees celcius.
The Trans Himalayas surround the whole Spiti region, making it challenging to install ATMs. Even though there are ATMs, getting cash and replenishing the ATMs with cash might be difficult, especially during the winter when roads from the Manali side are closed. Having said that, it should be noted that the State Bank of India has an ATM in Kaza, the district centre for the Spiti region.
Located at well over 3,000 m altitude high up in the mountains, Spiti welcomes travellers to its postcard-perfect hamlets, surreal landscapes, plentiful trekking trails, ancient monasteries and scenic lakes.
The oxygen is indeed very thin in Spiti Valley but if you remember to keep yourself hydrated with small sips of water, it should not bother you.
