Travelling through Spiti is the closest you could get to Shangri-La, albeit on some inspiring tarmac. Impressive decorations signal the onset of festivals here in Spiti, offering an easy excuse for much song and revelry throughout the year.With pristine lakes and some of the worlds’ highest inhabited villages, Spiti leaves you with picture-postcard memories of barren desert and precariously perched monasteries set against a backdrop of clear blue skies. Sparse population and awesome trekking opportunities offer a felling of unexplored remoteness in an area yet untouched by tourism. At incredible altitudes with stunning landscape, often compared to Ladakh before tourists took over, Spiti makes a fantastic road-trip destination with the added bonus of spotting that ever-elusive Snow Leopard.
