Exploration

Bordering with Tibet and home to some of the oldest Buddhist monasteries in the Himalayas, Spiti is a cold desert mountain valley, sparsely populated region located in the northeastern part of Himachal Pradesh. The terms ‘Spiti’ means ‘The Middle Land’ - the land between Tibet and India. Snow-laden landscapes and sub-zero temperatures, a road trip to Himachal’s Spiti Valley during winters is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Winters in Spiti are extremely harsh, frigid and there is no running water in taps. Decorated with beautiful villages, welcoming locals, and their 1000-year-old culture, the Spiti road trip during winters is all about never-ending adventure and a white blanket of snow. Come and experience with us as we travel to Himachal’s cold desert frozen in time.
