Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Spiti Valley is a magnificent cold mountain desert, also known as the land of Lamas.
Detailed explanation-2: -The name “Spiti” is derived from “Piti", which means “the middle land” as the valley is surrounded on all sides by mountain ranges that separate it from former empires. These include Ladakh to the north, Tibet to the east, Bushahr to the south and Kullu to the west.
