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.
