Spiti- The middle-land between the lush green valleys and the cold mountain deserts of Himalayas. A Spiti Valley Trip is a traveler’s delight, thanks to the thrilling roadways and rustic landscapes. While most parts of India undergo unbearably high temperatures, the beauty of Spiti shines like a diamond under sun during peak summer months.
The treacherous curves that lead to the valley of Spiti from Manali will give you a dose of adventure and beauty all at once. Don’t forget to notice your surroundings because a beautiful change is taking place in your surroundings. It is here you’ll notice landscapes change from shades of green to brown.
When you finally enter Spiti Valley you’ll realize that it is much more than just a picturesque place of Himalayas. There’s an abundance of rich Buddhist-Tibetan culture that resides in the serrated villages of Spiti. The Key Monastery is one fine example of architecture that makes you adore the concept of simplicity in Buddhism.
