THE STORY
Spiti Valley: a closer look
Spiti is a high-altitude Himalayan valley with settlements, monasteries and a stark mountain environment. Its cultural landscape differs from the lower green valleys of Himachal Pradesh. Acclimatisation, road conditions and season must shape the itinerary.
Local food, village walks and mountain views are often best enjoyed at a slower pace. Higher routes require more planning than lower hill-town visits, and weather can change driving times substantially.
Before you visit
Opening hours, access, tickets, photography rules and advance arrangements should be checked for your travel dates. Share any mobility or dietary requirements when requesting a programme.
