The Ancient Kingdom of Spiti is nestled amidst the high altitudes of the Himalayas. This Sacred Jewel of Himachal Pradesh in Northern India is aptly named “The Middle Land,” as it is situated between Tibet and India. This wild and hauntingly desolate cold desert environment is home to Buddhist Monks and the elusive Snow Leopards of the Spiti Valley.

This remote valley is one of India’s most sparsely populated regions. The Ancient Monasteries of Spiti Valley are over 1000 years old and sit at an altitude of 15000 FT, making this hidden gem of the Himalayas one of the highest inhabited places on the planet.
