Trans Himalayas were created due to the collision of Indian plate with Eurasian plate and what a beautiful collision that was!

Spiti is a Trans-Himalayan terrain bordering with Tibet at an average altitude of 4000 meters.
Spiti Valley, through which the Spiti river flows, is a desert mountain valley located high in the Himalaya mountains in the north-eastern part of the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh.

The name “Spiti” means “The Middle Land”, i.e. the land between Tibet and India.
Spiti valley is home to some of the oldest monasteries in the Himalayan region like Tabo monastery, Dhankar monastery, Sherkhang monastery and Kye monastery, strong hold of Buchen Lamas in Pin Valley.
It possesses a distinctive Buddhist culture similar to that found in the nearby Tibet Autonomous Region and the Ladakh region of India.
Spiti can be reached by crossing Rohtang La & Kunzum La from Manali from June to October.This route remain closed in winters due to heavy snowfall. It can also be reached via Kinnaur district from Shimla almost all time of the year.
Kinnaur is the land of fairy tales and fantasies, has a spectacular terrain of lush green valley, orchards, vineyards, snow clad peaks and cold desert mountains. It is a border district of Spiti.

Kinnaur is also rich in flora & fauna. The culture and language is different from other parts of the state. Kinnaur, the tribal district of Himachal Pradesh, lies 250 km away from Shimla, the capital of Himachal Pradesh and is situated on the NH – 22 (Hindustan Tibet Road). The landscape of the area varies from lush green orchards of the scenic Sangla Valley to the stark magnificence of the Hangrang Valley. The massive snow clad ranges that provide a regal dignity to the scene are dominated by the peak of Kinner Kailash.

Where Ladakh remains the most famous road-trip destination among the adventure lovers across the globe, Spiti & Kinnaur offers its own unique and majestic vistas and share of ultimate adventurous terrain. You realize it pretty well when you see sign boards displaying “You are travelling on the most treacherous route of the world”

In this particular trip HMRA will be exploring not all but the most beautiful and important destinations of Spiti and Kinnaur regions which has lot to offer to adventure, nature and travel lovers.
