Beyond postcards and landmarks: a private investigation of culture and daily life in a world that lives beyond the headlines.
Spiti Valley, in the Indian Himalayas, is made up of small villages spread across high, dry mountains. It’s home to ancient monasteries, harsh winters, and a way of life that leans on community, self-reliance, and old traditions. This photo essay doesn’t aim to explain the region. It’s a personal observation at the culture and spirit that shape everyday life.
