Azure skies and mountains bare
A land where eagles dare
Okay so I realise my posts are travelling beyond the geographical limits of the city but as much as you may love your city you've to sometimes get away. Spiti is tucked away in the Trans-Himalayan belt of Himachal Pradesh — a peculiar geo-climatic cold desert region that borders Tibet in the east and Ladakh in the north. It's a harsh landscape with a stark beauty that's indescribable. The people are warm and industrious and largely cut off from everything we know as the real world. Its trekker's paradise. But don't go there if you're not going to respect the fragility of the land and the lives that depend on it. The power grid may have largely bypassed Spiti but the vagaries of climate change haven't. Do go if you want to volunteer at the community level. Contact Ecosphere Spiti for more details.
