A Trip to Lahul & Spiti valley

The district of Lahaul-Spiti in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh is located at an altitude of 4,300 m is surrounded by high mountain ranges. This is one of the perfect destinations for traveler and tracker. Best time to visit Lahul Spiti valley is from March to the beginning of winter (first two weeks of October). From October to march the road remain closed by HP government due to heavy snowfall.

I with my three other friends visited this awesome valley in last week of September 2017. Here I will tell you how we reached this beautiful place. This may help you if you are planning to go.
