9 Days 8 Nights

Spiti Valley (pronounced as Piti in Bhoti Language) 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.

It is believed that Spiti too came into existence as a principality after the decline of central power in India as was the case with Lahaul. Local rulers had the title of Nonos. They were either descendants of a native family of Spiti or chiefs sent to look after the affairs of Spiti by the rulers of Ladakh. In the lOth century, Spiti was given to one of the three sons of the King of Ladakh. After that, the history of Spiti was linked with the history of Ladakh for a long time. This region became autonomous whenever the rulers of Ladakh were weak. However they periodically sent tribute to Ladakh, Chamba and Kullu.
