Lagaya, Spiti & Kinnaur

Fifty-one km north of Manali, the road to Leh crosses the Rohtang Pass and enters the Tibetan regions of Lahaul and Spit, which are quite unlike the Kullu Valley. The Rohtang Pass has the same ' gateway' nature as the Zoji La between Kashmir and Laakh.

The region is bound by Ladakh to the north, Tibet to the east, and Kullu to the south-east. South of Spiti is Kinnaur, accessible from Shimla. Much of the area is open only during the short summer season when the snow on the passes melts.
