One of the stilltill unexplored and insanely beautiful stretch of the Indian Himalayas , Spiti is a valley of stark landscapes and high snowy peaks stretching to the sky. Gurgling rivers and crystal clear laked dot the highlands of Spiti, while an ancient civilization has survived for nearly a thousand years and has preserved itsculture against the onslaught of modernity in Spiti.
Spiti Valley, tucked away in the trans himalayan belt of Himachal Pradesh, at an altitude range of 3500-4300 mts, a peculiar gea-climatic cold desert region borders Tibet in the east and Ladakh in the north. It is known for its scenic mountains, barren splendor, monastries and home to rare himalayan animals like Snow Leopards and Ibex etc. Travelling Spiti valley is as much as journey within as it is without.
The lofty Kunzum Pass will trivialize our place in the world. The stillness of the Chandrataal Lake will talk to you of contentment. The legendary Ki Monastery will speak to you of man’s industry - physical, yet transcendental. And since all life is cyclical, you’ll again be jolted into insignificance as you trek the ragged & Spitian route to some of the highest Himalayan village of the world.
