SPITI
Adventures in the Trans-Himalaya

Foreword by JIMMY ROBERTS

Spiti, which literally means the ‘middle land’, is a grey and barren landscape situated to the north of Shimla, in the State of Himachal Pradesh. It is the trans-Himalayan land with Tibet to its east, Ladakh to its north, Kullu to its west and Kinnaur guarding the south. Due to restrictions of inner line and difficulties of travel not many have visited this fascinating land. Now with all the restrictions removed, Spiti is the most sought-after tourist destination. There are many a mountains to be climbed, valleys to be trekked and passes to be crossed.

This book is based on author’s several visits to Spiti, exploring its valleys and climbing peaks. It concentrates most valuably on the wealth of extremely rewarding summits, unknown passes and remote valleys, which have been hitherto neglected due to lack of information or difficulty of access. There is interaction with people, their traditions, and details about their history. Complete with several maps, illustrated with over a hundred photographs, tables of road distances and trek routes, this book is the only available reference work on this area. The book will be an essential reading for all travellers, trekkers, mountaineers and historians interested in Spiti.
