Ladakh or Spiti? The Only Guide You Need To Choose Between The Two

A trip to Ladakh back then was more of an eccentric feeling than a mere travel destination which one would come across after conquering the tormenting but fabled mountain roads.

After gaining a lot of popularity especially after Kareena Kapoor Khan rode a yellow scooter along the panoramic Pangong Tso Lake in 3 Idiots,  Leh Ladakh tour packages have seen an exponential rise in the number of travellers visiting the locations.

But more than just a Bollywood shoot location, Ladakh still is the mystical land of varied cultures, encompassing a totally mesmerizing landscape.

Hence new roads or you could say new paths were discovered that led to yet another equally pristine Spiti Valley in Himachal Pradesh.

Spiti Valley has always been more of an offbeat destination in India and is climbing up the ladder of inclination. Spiti Valley Tour Packages have become increasingly popular, due to which the valley witnesses several tourists every year.

Spiti Valley is far from becoming a mainstream tourist destination and still harbors the rustic community of Himachal Pradesh, keeping its distance from the social and infrastructural disturbance to its deeply enrooted culture. The valley still is a testament to the typical Himachali lifestyle, enormous apple orchards, and pristine landscapes.

Ladakh and Spiti, on a brief look, appear to be strikingly similar in terms of the landscapes that they offer, but the resemblance is superficial.

While the rocky Himalayan peaks surround Spiti Valley, Ladakh is home to numerous huge lakes and plateaus and notices infrastructural development which Spiti Valley lacks.

Once you are clear on your personal preferences and travel requirements, this comparison will make it relatively easy to choose between these two for your next travel destination.
