Frozen Frames: A Visual Journey Through Spiti Valley
The name "Spiti" means "The middle land" — i.e., the land between Tibet and India. 🏔️🗺️ Residing at 4,270 m above sea level, it’s a mystical desert mountain valley like no other. ❄️
Spiti incorporates mainly the valley of the Spiti River 🌊, with prominent side-valleys like the Pin Valley 🐆 and Lingti Valley 🏞️.
The Bhoti-speaking local population follows Tibetan Buddhism 🕉️🧘 — evident in the serene monasteries and prayer flags fluttering across the rugged terrain.
