Himachal
The Spiti Valley is a scenic paradise that evokes feelings of peace and spirituality
due to its abundance of Buddhist monasteries and outstanding natural landscapes, the
most of which have not been explored and are consequently untouched. The unpolluted
and quickly moving Spiti river has shaped the jagged scenery of the valley, which is
found in Himachal Pradesh. The river travels through a number of steep gorges and
valleys on its way to the Spiti valley. Rafting is one of the most popular types of
water activities that can be done on the river. Outdoor activities like as hiking,
paragliding, and camping are made more enjoyable by the verdant and emerald
landscape of the valley, which is encircled on all sides by mountains that are
covered in snow. Spiti is sometimes referred to as “Little Tibet” because of its
topography, vegetation, and climate being so like to those of Tibet. It is
surrounded by the regions of Lahaul, Ladakh, Kinnaur, and Kullu, and it is located
at an altitude of 2,745 metres above sea level. The Kumzum La, also known as the
Kumzum Pass, is the mountain pass that marks the border between the two regions of
Lahaul and Spiti Valley.
The Winter Spiti Expedition is widely regarded as one of the very finest adventure
tours that visitors to the Himalayas may go on during the winter months in order to
get snow-related experience. The Winter Spiti Trip is all about a chilly desert
mountain valley high in the Himalayan Mountains in the north-eastern corner of the
Indian state of Himachal Pradesh. The territory that is situated between Tibet and
India is referred to as Spiti, which literally translates to “Middle Ground.”
