The stunning images, which appear to be taken from a drone camera, show the textured and expansive landscape of the region. In the caption, Mr Solheim compared the colour of Spiti Valley to the Red Planet. "A ride in the Mars. Spiti Himachal Pradesh. Incredible India," he wrote on Twitter.

Meanwhile, this is not the first time that Mr Solheim has been left awestruck by the beauty of "Incredible India". Earlier this month, the diplomat shared a video showing Bangus Valley, located in the Kupwara district of Jammu and Kashmir. The short video showed a clear-water stream rushing past a hilly meadow as horses blissfully grazed amid the lush green grass. "Incredible India! This heaven is located in Jammu and Kashmir, called Bangus Valley," Mr Solheim wrote in the caption.
