Lahaul is marked by a central mass of uniformly high mountains and massive glaciers.
The two rivers, Chandra and Bhaga which rise on either side of the Baralacha La, flow through the narrow Chandra and Bhaga valleys.
The valley lies at a height of 2745 metres above sea level.
Summer in this valley is cool and pleasant with green grass and alpine flowers.
There are little monsoon in both these valleys and this enables climbers & trekkers to enjoy a long and unbroken season in perpetual sunshine to explore the wilderness and grandeur of the inner Himalaya.
The rugged awe-inspiring snow clad mountains are standing invitation to the hikers, mountaineers and adventurers.
Lahaul is a land of fascinating Buddhist art and culture.
The entire district is full of natural scenery exorting the tourists and visitors to explore and imbibe its hidden grandeur.
The customs, myths, beliefs and conventions of the simple unsophisticated people are the unique features of this border highland.
Every village or a hamlet has a prayer flag fluttering over the Buddhist monastery.
These shrines are the centers of the cultural life of the people that have influenced their religious beliefs for centuries and round which their social life revolves.
The monasteries of Lahaul-Spiti are rich repositories of ancient murals, thankas, wood carving and golden images of Padmasambhava.
