infrastructure is almost non-existent and very poor in Spiti, it is essential
before you leave for talking with your doctor about the symptoms, prevention
and treatment of acute mountain sickness in order to come up with advice and
medicines tailored to your personal health.
- The road
providing access to the valleys of Spiti from Kinnaur runs along the gorge of
the Sutlej river and the Spiti river. Carved on a mountainside, it is
impressive and dramatic in many places. Accidents are very rare, however, this
road is classified as one of the most dangerous in the world. Some ability to
