Overview & Highlights
Spiti Valley is a cold desert mountain valley located high in the Himalayas in the north-eastern part of the northern Indian state of Himachal Pradesh. The name "Spiti" means "The middle land", i.e. the land between Tibet and India. The local population follows Vajrayana Buddhism similar to that found in the nearby Tibet and Ladakh regions. The valley and surrounding region is one of the least populated regions in India and is the gateway to the northernmost reaches of the nation. Along the northern route from Manali, Himachal Pradesh or Keylong via the Rohtang Pass or Kunzum Pass respectively, the valley lies in the North-Eastern section of the Indian state Himachal Pradesh and forms part of the Lahaul and Spiti district. The sub-divisional headquarters (capital) is Kaza, Himachal Pradesh which is situated along the Spiti River at an elevation of about 12,500 feet (3,800 m) above mean sea level.

What is the best time to visit Spiti?
Understanding the location in relation to weather and seasons is crucial to choosing the optimum time to visit Spiti, or "Little Tibet," as it is infamously known. Not just because of the lovely weather, but also because there are less tourists, the summer months of March to June are thought to be the finest for visiting Spiti. The best time to visit Spiti is from October to February if you're looking for that ideal winter getaway. The environment is covered in a white frost at this time, and one can observe the secretive fauna as well as the stunning frozen waterfalls and lakes.
