Description
The Spiti Valley cold desert in Himachal Pradesh state is a cold desert high in the mountains that harbors rare wildlife, including snow leopards. This desert gets its name, Spiti, from its location -- middle ground -- between Tibet and India. The Spiti Valley area represents one of the least populated regions in India; It serves as the gateway to the northernmost reaches of the country. The valley lies in the northeastern portion of the state and receives an abundance of sunshine and snow, but very little rain. During the winter months, its sparse residents, essentially 35 people to a village, are essentially cut-off from the rest of the country until the snow clears.
