Spiti Backpacking - Bliss in Budget

Description.

Spiti Valley—literally meaning “The land between India and Tibet”—is a magical high-altitude desert nestled in Himachal Pradesh. With its stunning moonscapes, ancient monasteries, and remote villages, Spiti offers an unforgettable experience.
Separated from Lahaul by the towering Kunzum La (4551m), the valley is best explored between October and December. From the iconic Key Monastery perched above whitewashed homes to fossil-rich villages like Langza and Hikkim (home to the world’s highest post office), every corner of Spiti is steeped in wonder.
Whether you're admiring the giant Buddha statue in Langza or hunting for million-year-old marine fossils, Spiti is a place where time slows and awe begins.
