Himachal Pradesh Spiti Valley is a cold desert region. The valley, marking the starting point of Kunzum Pass, often earns the moniker “the middle land”—a term that can refer to the area halfway between Tibet and India or the region bordered by mountains on all sides. The Spiti River, which has its source east of the Kunzum Pass, flows through the valley’s centre and is responsible for both the district’s and valley’s names.

Spiti Valley’s history depicts the Mesozoic Era. Approximately 150 million years ago, the Earth’s landmasses divided into Laurasia and Gondwana. Between these continents used to lay the sole ocean, the Tethys Sea.

The Himalayas were created as a result of the collision of these two continents as they began to drift in the same direction. The Tethys Sea vanished, and the once-alive marine life perished and became fossilized. The Tethys Sea used to be in the Spiti Valley, a region of the trans-Himalayan range, and some of the fossilized animals can still be seen there.

It is simple to locate fossil imprints on stone, and while you are here, you will see stores selling them.

The road trip to Spiti Valley begins from Manali, with its own set of challenges and thrills. The journey involves driving through high-altitude mountain passes, narrow roads, and hairpin bends, offering an adventurous experience for those seeking excitement. The people of Spiti are warm and welcoming, and you can immerse yourself in their rich culture and traditions.

Spiti Valley is home to several must-visit attractions that are utterly captivating. Highlights include the ancient monasteries of Tabo and Key, the remote villages of Kibber and Langza, and the awe-inspiring Chandratal Lake, which remains frozen during winter. These attractions provide a glimpse into the region’s history, spirituality, and natural wonders.

One should travel to this serene location since the Spiti valley trip is one of India’s undiscovered adventure locations. A road trip to Spiti Valley can be a truly magical and unforgettable experience.
