About Spiti Tour Packages

Tucked in a blanket of a cold desert, Spiti Valley, in Himachal Pradesh, India, is a realm of raw beauty and serene isolation. Known as "Little Tibet," Spiti is characterized by its stark, barren landscapes, dramatic mountains, and ancient monasteries.

The name "Spiti" means "The Middle Land," signifying its location between Tibet and India. With long winding roads and unforgettable snow-capped mountains, Spiti is located at an altitude of 12,500 feet above sea level and gets only 250 days of sunshine in the year. It is one of the coldest places in India.

Being close to Tibet, Spiti is heavily influenced by the region, having a number of monasteries there. Most notably, the stunning Key Monastery is one of the largest monasteries, which is over a thousand years old. The sight of fluttering prayer flags, praying monks, and prayer wheels will leave your heart calm and spellbound.

Spiti's allure lies in its pristine landscapes, undulating meadows, lush green pine forests and rich cultural heritage. It is a paradise for adventurers and nature lovers with a number of trekking trails and off-roads for a biking venture!

The sparsely populated villages are inhabited by 50-200 people and are a true recluse for those looking to escape the bustle of cities and yearning for a breathtaking escapade.
