It is called "Little Tibet" because it has almost the same terrain, vegetation and climate . Spiti also means "Middle Country". Its between Tibet, Ladakh, Kinnaur, Lahaul and Kulu. From Shimla via Kinnaur there is a motorable road which remains open upto Kaza for 8 to 9 months. About 10kms ahead of Pooh, satluj enters India near Shipki la and Spiti river joins it at Khab. The road then goes to Sumdo via Hangrang valley. From Sumdo Spiti valley starts.

The Spiti river flows fast through deep gorges at some places. The valley is not wide but there are villages and some fields where people grow barley, buck- wheat, peas and other vegetables. It has an area of 4800 sq. kms. Some inhabitants have adopted Budhism as their faith and Bhoti is the spoken language. The people are simple and honest.
