The Spiti Valley is a cold desert mountain valley located high in the Himalayas in the north-eastern part of the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh. The name “Spiti” means “The Middle Land”, i.e. the land between Tibet and India.
Local population follows Vajrayana Buddhism similar to that found in the nearby Tibet Autonomous Region and the Ladakh region of India. The valley and surrounding region is one of the least populated regions in India and is the gateway to the northernmost reaches of the nation. Not to mention the awe-inspiring landscape will make you spellbound.

Why not Ladakh?
- Because Ladakh is too crowded and commercialized. A real nature seeker knows it well.
- Because what is fun in visiting a place which everyone else is going.
- Because I don’t have s many days to travel to Ladakh.
- Because I want to visit Spiti before it becomes another commercialized and tourist place like Ladakh.
