Spiti Valley: Complete Guide to the Cold Desert of Himachal
Ever wondered what it feels like to be on the moon? Spiti Valley in Himachal Pradesh comes pretty close! This amazing cold desert sits way up at 12,000 feet and looks like something straight out of a sci-fi movie.
Places You Can't Miss
Kaza is where you'll stay and get your bearings. It's a small town but has everything you need. Key Monastery is absolutely mind-blowing - imagine a thousand-year-old monastery sitting on top of a mountain with views that'll make your jaw drop. Chandratal Lake is where you can camp under the most incredible starry sky you've ever seen. Trust me, you'll feel tiny under all those stars! Chicham Bridge might scare you a bit (it's Asia's highest bridge!), but the views are totally worth it.
When Should You Go?
June to September is your only shot. That's when the roads are open and you won't freeze to death!
How to Get There
You can either go through Shimla (easier route) or Manali (more adventurous but tougher).
Things to Remember
- Take it slow when you first arrive - the altitude can knock you out
- Pack like you're going to Antarctica, even in summer
- Bring lots of cash - no ATMs up there
- Don't forget your camera and power banks
The food is simple but tasty - hot noodle soup and steamed dumplings hit the spot when it's cold.
