Its hard to describe a land so vast and desolate and yet so rich in culture, color and spirit. The Spiti Valley shares the plateau and its heritage with Mother Tibet. Tibetan Buddhism has been practised here for centuries, and it colors the daily life of the people. The elderly chant "Om Mani Padme Hum" while spinning their prayer wheels. There are monasteries as old as 1500 years dotting the barren valleys with many monks still practising today.
And of course his Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama is the guru if not the celebrity of these people. I had the great fortune to listen to his teachings and be a part of the wild atmosphere when he visited the valley not too long ago. It was truly humbling to be in the presence of a great master and to be a fellow disciple of his with locals and foreigners alike.
With no further adieu I present you with the images that meagerly attempt to portray the glorious dignity of this special land.
