Spiti Expedition by Tempo Traveler

Spiti Expedition by Tempo Traveler

Spiti Valley is one of the cold deserted mountain valleys located at the height of the Himalayas in the north-eastern part of Himachal Pradesh. The name “Spiti” initially means “The Middle Land” which corresponds to the land lying between Tibet and India. And winters in Spiti are enormously harsh and temperatures even fall to -20º Celsius. Therefore, a  expedition to Spiti Valley  is an endless thrill.

Enormously, the Spiti  shows a different side of Spiti altogether. Inductively, a world where the magic is witnessed with nature having its majestic mountains, mesmerizing valleys, and wicked trails all covered in a thick blanket of snow. That is spread throughout the place, as far as the eyes go.
