Overview
Spiti Valley is a cold desert mountain valley located high in the Himalaya Mountains. On our journey to this beautiful place we will go through the tribal valleys of Central Himalayas, while following the Indo- Tibetan Border road and exploring Kinnaur, Sangla, and Shimla valley. Each day of our journey gives us an oppourtunity explore this land of barren and beautiful wilderness. The culturally diverse people add to the charm and interest of this safari in the Himalayas.
The desolate mountains of this high altitude cold desert and deep ravines reveal the natural beauty of the landscape and geology. We drive through some of the world’s highest Himalayan villages, explore old monasteries, and journey over high passes, getting close to glaciers and a number of high altitude lakes.
