Presenting here some panoramic shots of the magnificent valleys of Kinnaur and Spiti. I have tried to post one or two photographs from every place we visited. These photographs are no where close to what we witnessed in person, but it may try to bring back the moment captured from the gorgeous valleys.
Photographs by Srikanth Parthasarathy.
