Situated at an
altitude of 3600 meter above sea level on left bank of river Spiti is
presently the headquarters of Spiti sub division. Translated, 'Spiti'
means the 'middle country' - a name obviously given as a result of its
ties with both India and Tibet. With freckles of green over a dry,
weather-beaten face, Spiti
is a cold desert where the monsoon rain never comes. It is characterised
by stark beauty, narrow valleys and high mountains. A century ago, Rudyard
Kipling in Kim called Spiti "a world within a world" and a "place
where the gods live" - a description that holds true to the present day.
Named after the Spiti
river and complimenting the Spiti valley, the hotel has been started
recently. The hotel serves as excellent
accommodation for exploring the artistically and culturally rich
monastery's around Kaza
