SPITI VALLEY
Spiti also called "PITI" is bounded on its south and west by the
valleys of Kullu apd Lahaul. The region of Ladakh lies to the north and the
Kalpa lies to the south-east. Geologically and archaeologically, Spiti is
a living museum. The mountains are devoid of any vegetation and erosion by
wind, sun and snow over thousands of years has laid bare the rocks. The
rugged and rocky mountain slopes sweep down to the river beds giving the landscape
a moon-like appearance. Spiti is formed by the Spiti river which rises on
the slopes of Kunzum-Ia and ends at the rivers confluence with the Parechu
near Sumdo. Approaching from Manali, the Lahaul side gets you to Loser village,
19 km from Kunzum-Ia. Special permits are required to enter Loser village
