Spiti Valley

Spiti Valley is Ladakh’s lesser known neighbor and is practically a cold mountain desert which invites travellers who dare to drift away from the usual leisure trips. Spiti Valley boasts of picturesque landscapes and remotely tucked away villages in the mighty, barren midlands of Himalayas. It is in Spiti Valley that one can hike along Snow Leopard and Himalayan Wolf habitats and pay a visit to 1000 year old monastery. Spiti Valley offers a fascinating culture and cuisine which stands apart from the rest of the country.

Spiti Valley has the harshest of the weather but kindest of the people! Its amazing to see this unique combination – which only Spiti Valley has to offer. Spiti Valley remains cut off from the rest of India for 6 months of the year. Its almost impossible for one to reach Spiti Valley even through the Shimla – Kinnaur pass during other times of the year. Best possible months to visit Spiti Valley are from mid May to September.

In the name Spiti Valley – Spiti literally means ‘middle land’ as it is bordered by Tibet in the east, Ladakh to the north, Kinnaur to the south east and Lahaul and Kullu to the south. Situated at an average height of around 12,500 feet above mean sea level, Spiti lies along the Himalayan river of the same name. Cut off from the tourist map because of its remoteness, Spiti Valley, along with its twin valley of Lahaul, has retained its pristine charm. Another interesting fact about Spiti Valley is that Spiti Valley get Sunshine for only about 250 days a year!
