Spiti Valley is accessible in May, primarily via the Shimla-Kinnaur route. The Manali-Kaza route via Kunzum Pass usually opens by mid to late May depending on snow clearance. Chandratal Lake is rarely accessible before late May. Daytime temperatures range from 10°C to 20°C while nights drop to minus 2°C to 5°C. Key Monastery, Tabo, Dhankar, Kaza, Kibber, and Kalpa are reliably reachable throughout May. Plan 7–8 days for a Shimla-side trip or 9–10 days for a full circuit. The Shimla route is safer for first-timers and families. Carry thermals, a down jacket, and high-SPF sunscreen.
