Spiti Valley

The Tibetan Plateau and surrounding cold desert is one of the biggest wonders in India – the valleys of Lahaul-Spiti look like fabled lands straight out of an Arabian Nights tale. The Spiti Valley, especially, is a magnetic location endowed with sandy slopes, low gorges, swift rivers and traditional Tibetan villages. The Spiti Valley transforms as one moves northwards and soon reaches the border of Ladakh in Jammu and Kashmir. Spiti Valley travel packages are meant for the true lovers of Himalayas – these are challenging, offbeat and soulsearching to the fullest!

The valleys of Spiti are open, steep and rocky. The arid wilderness of Spiti is dotted here and there with ancient gompas and surrounding monk hostels, the most popular being Key Monastery, Tayul Monastery and Komic Village . The little spots of grazing lands in Spiti that are green enough for herds are constantly flocked by sheep and mountain goats. The magical desert lakes of Spiti including Chandratal, Dhankar Lake and Suraj Tal. At 4590m, the Kunzum mountain pass through Kunzum ranges provides the most breathtaking view of the chilly desert topography.

The Spiti Valley is not just an adventurous destination for trekkers, but also a heritage trip that lends vacationers an idea of the huge cultural diversity of India. The Losar Village is a testament to this, a little green hamlet amidst the rocky desert which is home to a unique mixture of Indian, Tibetan and Chinese values and lifestyle. A bike journey through the Barachala pass is a dream come true for most adventure travellers! The most unique and unexpected thing to see in Spiti Valley, however, is the huge national park located in this region called the Pin Valley National Park.
