Entry Fees For Tabo

Tabo sits at about 10,760 feet (3,280 metres) above sea level, in the Lahaul and Spiti district of Himachal Pradesh. This is the figure used by Wikipedia and most travel guides. A few older sources list roughly 3,050 metres, but 10,760 feet is the widely accepted figure to plan around.

Tabo is at about 3,280 metres above sea level. Some listings cite 3,050 metres, but the 3,280-metre figure is the one on Wikipedia and Survey of India references and matches most current guides. Either way, expect a genuine high-altitude, cold-desert environment.

Tabo is reached only by road. From Shimla you drive via Reckong Peo, Nako and Sumdo, an open-most-of-the-year route of 12 to 14 hours split over two days. From Manali you cross Kunzum La to Kaza and drive 47 km on to Tabo, but that pass is open only from about June to October. There is a daily bus from Reckong Peo and shared taxis from Kaza.
