Spiti Valley is a cold desert mountain valley located high in the north-eastern part of the Himachal Pradesh. The name “Spiti” means “The Middle Land”, i.e. the land between Tibet and India. Winters in Spiti is extremely harsh and temperatures sometimes fall to -20 degrees Celsius.
There is an endless thrill of visiting Spiti in winters.
