A Himalayan Snow Desert: Spiti Valley

Spiti Valley is one half of the Lahaul and Spiti District of Himachal Pradesh. It is spread over a vast landmass and is a popular tourist destination among motorcyclists, trekkers, and adventure lovers.

The valley remains covered under snow for more than four months in a year.

There are mainly two ways to reach Spiti, one via Shimla, the state capital, which remains open throughout the year. The other route is via Manali, which requires one to cross over the Rohtang Pass.

The Manali route is short but tough. Landslides are a common thing happening on this route yet every year hundreds of tourist visit the valley from this side.

Major attractions of Spiti Valley are Kibber Village, monasteries in Kaza and Tabo, and the beautiful Pin Valley.

Enjoy the beauty of the valley with these photographs.
