— Rani Sharma, Delhi
The ancient murals and manuscripts there made me feel connected to a timeless culture. I also had the chance to trek around Dhankar Lake—standing at the edge of the crystal-clear waters, surrounded by snow-capped peaks, was a moment of pure magic.One of the most striking aspects of Spiti is the warmth of its people. Despite the harsh conditions, the locals have preserved their traditional way of life and were so welcoming.
— Vivek Verma, Mumbai
I ventured through villages like Langza and Kibber, where I saw breathtaking views of snow-covered landscapes and a massive Buddha statue that looked over the valley. The adventure didn’t stop there—I trekked through rugged trails, crossed the famous Chicham Bridge, and marveled at the vastness of the Pin Valley National Park.While challenging, especially due to the altitude and rough roads, the beauty and tranquility of Spiti made every moment worth it.
