Overview
The word Lahaul is derived from the Tibetan word Lho-yul meaning country in the south! Another meaning of Lhahi-yul stands for ‘country of the gods.’The land is a quaint settlement guarded by snow-topped mountains that stop the advance of monsoon rains from the south but the northerly winds pound the region with heavy snow in winters.The landscape changes from verdant valleys and forested hillsides to a sandy terrain dotted with miniature villages of flat-roofed houses precariously hanging along rocky hillsides as you move deeper into the highland,leaving the traveller in awe of the raw beauty scattered around.
