Situated between the Ladakh to the north and Kinnaur to the south, the Spiti Valley is a high-altitude cold desert where blue skies encounter rugged brown cliffs and monasteries stand precariously on rock outcrops. Spiti has the nickname “The Middle Land” between India and Tibet, and its cultural landscape bears deep influences of Tibetan Buddhism, which can be witnessed in its centuries-old monasteries such as Key, Tabo, and Dhankar.

Driving through Spiti is like traversing a painting—winding roads lead past emerald rivers, sky-high passes like Kunzum La, and surreal villages like Kibber, Hikkim, Langza, and Komic (one of the world’s highest villages connected by a motorable road). Here, you’ll find some of the highest post offices and polling stations in the world, nestled in a landscape that feels both ancient and alien.

But Spiti is not for the hardy traveler alone—it’s for anyone looking for a deeper connection with nature and with themselves. The silence of Chandratal Lake, warm local hospitality, and celestial clarity of night skies make it a retreat for introspection and slow travel. Every village has stories to tell of simplicity, survival, and spirituality.

Whereas summers fill Spiti with life and color, winters cover the land in dense, insulating snow—sealing it as a year-round wonderland for various types of adventurers. The adjacent Lahaul Valley, once inaccessible during winters, is now directly connectable due to the Atal Tunnel, bringing in lush green meadows, waterfalls, and lesser-traveled paths to your Himalayan journey.

Our well-planned Lahaul-Spiti itinerary will take you through this enchanted landscape—through secluded monasteries, peaceful lakes, age-old villages, and breathtaking scenery. So, shun the path of the masses, take the road less traveled, and let Lahaul and Spiti’s mystical valleys reorient your perspective.
