Holiday Highlights

Spiti Valley Tours in Lahaul Spiti, the largest district of Himachal Pradesh is a unique Spiti Valley Road trip. Lahaul Spiti is a high altitude cold desert lies in the Trans Himalayan region beyond Western Himalayas in Northern India at an average altitude of around 3800 meters and kaza is known for sub-divisional headquarters, which is situated along the Spiti River. Spiti are perfect locations for nature lovers, trekkers and spectacular scenery and cinematography.

Spiti Valley consists of the oldest monasteries, (Tabo, Sherkhang and Dhankar- all around 1000 years old), highest motorable villages in Asia (Langza and Komic), Gue Mummy ( mummy is nearly 550 years old.), highest village, post office,polling station, school in the world (Hikkim, kibber etc), ancient small whitewashed mud-homes and Chandratal lake, beautiful and vast landscape declared as 1020-year-old UNESCO World Heritage Site

The valley is open only from May - October, the weather is very pleasant and comfortable. One can enjoy the bright sunshine with a gentle breeze blowing, keeping the temperatures well within 20 degrees. This is also the blooming period when the valley is filled with greenery and vibrant flowers, which further add to the scenic beauty. The valley receives very scanty rainfall during its monsoon. The duration between November to April is when the valley is most prone to snowfall and the temperatures go well below 0 to -10 degrees . Transportation is largely affected during this period and the valley is largely blocked from the rest of the country as there is no other way of entering it. During these spells of winter, the locals have to go through great hardships and survive on stocks preserved during the summer.

Culture and Religious of Lahaul & Spiti valley :-

The languages spoken in the valley include Hindi, Bodh, and Sanskrit. They are very similar to the Ladakhi and Tibetans culturally, as they had been placed under the rule of the Guge and Ladakh kingdoms at occasional intervals. The family acts as the basic unit of kinship among the locals in Lahaul. The extended family system is commonlypracticed and the family is headed by a senior male member, known as the Yunda, while his wife, known as the Yundamo, gains authority by being the oldest member in the generation.

Most locals here follow a combination of Hinduism and Tibetan Buddhism of the Drukpa Kagyu order of Tibetan Buddhism of the Gelugpa order. Lahaul has a temple by the name of Trilokinath which is devoted to Lord Shiva. Raja Ghepan is one of the major deities who is widely worshipped by almost all of Lahaul. Before people adapted to Tibetan Buddhism and Hinduism, they followed the religion ‘Lung Pe Chhoi’, which was derived from the Bön religion of Tibet.

The Losar festival (also known as Halda in the local language) is celebrated between the months of January and February every year and has the same significance as the Diwali but is celebrated in a Tibetan fashion. The date of celebration is decided by the Lamas.

The people of Lahaul and Spiti follow a mixture of Hinduism and Buddhism, with a culture that is profoundly impacted by Tibetan Buddhism. Once part of the Maharaja of Kashmir’s empire, Spiti was later exchanged for certain areas in Kangra district. Buddhism initially spread along the Spiti River, extending its influence up to Tibet. In the 10th century AD Rinchen Zangpo, the Great Translator traveled from Tibet across these lands during the rule of the Guge kings of Tibet. Under his tutelage, several important monasteries came up in Lahaul – Spiti, which still continue to follow a pure form of Tibetan Buddhism.
