Spiti Valley

Spiti Valley is a vast cold desert mountain valley located in the Himalayas in the north-

eastern part of the Indian state Himachal Pradesh. The word "Spiti" depicts "The Middle

Land", which was a bridge where the two great traditions of India and Tibet diffused in the

trans-Himalayan region.

There are two routes by which one can reach Spiti, which are from Manali via Rohtang and

Kunzum Pass and from Shimla via Hindustan Tibet highway, which is often considered one of

the most treacherous road.

Spiti Valley is fed by several fast-flowing streams that drain into Spiti river. Being one of the

remotest regions of India which remains blocked for most of the year is ideal for Wravelers

looking to explore places.

It's not all about traveling together, but connecting and traveling together forever.
