It can be fully customized as per customer's choice. Customer can choose any date as per there availability.

Yes, you can. The mention costing is calculated based on mentioned persons. If no of persons have changed then costing will be automatically revised.

Spiti Valley is accessible from Shimla side throughout the year however from Manali side it is accessible only for 5 months, from June till September. So if you are planning from Shimla, from June till September, you can complete the circuit by exiting from Manali. However from late October till early May; you can only drive up to Kaza from Shimla and will have to return the same way. There is no high altitude pass between Shimla and Kaza however when it comes to Manali; you will cross two high altitude passes, Rohtang and Kunzum Pass. Both these passes remain close from anytime in October till May (depending on the weather and road conditions) so a journey from Manali to Spiti valley can only be done from June till September.
Please note that even though you can travel to Spiti from Shimla throughout the year, in peak winter the entire valley remains under a thick sheet of snow so a road journey will not be only difficult but also very challenging.
So, the best time to visit Spiti valley depends on what your preference is. If it is snow you are after, then the best time would be to go sometime in February or March otherwise July till September would be an ideal time to visit Lahaul & Spiti.
For safe and secure from June till September is the best time to explore the hidden Himalayan destination, Spiti Valley by road. This way you will be able to complete the circuit and will not be limited to just visiting from Shimla to Kaza. Places like Chandratal and Kunzum Pass are also accessible during this time only.

This 202 km long Kaza to Manali Highway usually opens up by the first week of June or latest by the second week of June.
Eventually, it will all get down upon the weather and snow conditions in the months April and May when snow clearance operations are at peak in many parts of the Himalayas including this belt of Himachal Pradesh too.

When making a road trip to Spiti Valley from Kaza to Manali, you must keep in mind that even when the road from Kaza to Manali opens, it takes some time to get them stabilized. Due to snow sliding and loose gravel, the roadblocks are very common in the initial days.
Hence, it is recommended that you wait for a couple of weeks before planning the trip on Spiti Valley to Manali after its official opening. The last thing you will want on your much-awaited Spiti Valley trip is to get stranded on the lonely stretch from Batal to Gramphu in early June.

Generally we used Non AC vehicle -
Upto 6 persons group - Xylo / Scorpio / Similar
upto 8 persons group - Sumo / Bolero / Tavera / Similar
upto 12 persons group - Tempo Traveler / Similar
