Key Facts

Spiti is a tehsil (sub-district) located in the Lahaul and Spiti district of Himachal Pradesh, India. Situated in the northeastern part of the state, this high-altitude region forms part of the larger Spiti Valley, often called 'Little Tibet' due to its cultural and geographical similarities with Tibet. Spiti lies entirely within the cold desert region of the Himalayas, with elevations ranging from approximately 3,000 to over 6,000 meters above sea level. The region covers an area of roughly 7,000 square kilometers and has a sparse population of around 12,000 people, primarily engaged in agriculture and tourism. Spiti is administratively divided into several villages and smaller administrative units that dot the rugged landscape along the Spiti River. The region is renowned for its ancient Buddhist monasteries, including the famous Key Monastery and Tabo Monastery, which is one of the oldest continuously operating Buddhist enclaves in the world. Spiti's extreme climate, with temperatures dropping to -30°C in winter, creates challenging living conditions but also preserves its unique cultural heritage.
