Detailed explanation-1: -Chandra Bhaga valley or Pattan Valley is also called as ‘orchard and granary of Lahaul-Spiti’.
Detailed explanation-2: -Before the two districts were merged, Kardang was the capital of Lahaul, and Dhankar the capital of Spiti. The district was formed in 1960, and is the fourth least populous district in India. Kunzum la or the Kunzum Pass (altitude 4, 551 m (14, 931 ft)) is the entrance pass to the Spiti Valley from Lahaul.
Detailed explanation-3: -It is popularly known as the ‘land of lamas’. The valley is dotted by numerous Buddhist Monasteries or Gompas. These are some of the important monasteries in the Lahul and Spiti valleys.
Detailed explanation-4: -The two valleys are connected through the famous Kunzum La (mountain pass) that sits at an altitude of 4551 m. While the two regions are equally stunning, they vary slightly in appearance. The Spiti Valley is an endless barren land of nothingness, whereas, the Lahaul Valley shows some form of vegetation.
