Spiti Valley

It all started with an sudden zest of traveling among my friends, and the destination was decided. Spiti valley was always on my mind to explore and live a high-altitude life.

We started in Gwalior and ending up at Kaza, a journey of over 1200 km. Enthusiastic friends, camera, tents and all the other travel equipment. It was our first time.

Going to sleep at 2AM and waking up at 4AM so we could take the only bus to Kaza from Manali. But somehow we managed to miss that! And then it was a drive to Kaza in Tata Sumo, and what an driver he was, in a word: awesome. And the beauty on the way made me speechless: cool waterfalls, rivers running on the side of the road, the sweet gentle winter essence and mountains was almost too much for me.

Spiti Valley, northeast of the city of Manali, is in Himachal Pradesh (Lahaul and Spiti district) in northern India, in the center of the Himalayas. It is accessible by a by bus or by jeep, and only in the summer. This valley combines grand and hostile desert landscapes and small villages, and especially Buddhist temples and monasteries in the high mountains. Ki Monastery is an example: On a hilltop about 4100 meters high, with more than 250 monks, is the biggest monastery in the valley. It has bedrooms for pilgrims. We also found the town of Kaza, which has a spectacular view of the valley of

Fantastic place to visit and understand the meaning of life almighty God has given us. Spectacular valley landscapes will leave you speechless and make you want to live their endlessly.
