After breakfast A steep 8km drive through thick pine forests takes to Hatu peak, 11, 152 feet high, and were get a clear view of the Himalayas. There is a lovely wooden temple also. After that on our way to Sarahan, a pretty hamlet in Kinnaur Valley. The roads are still in a good condition. Though it’s beautiful, this place can easily be avoided and one can head straight to Sangla. The only thing that stands out here is the famous Bhimakali Temple, made of stone and wood. It’s built with layers of stone and timber to protect it from earthquakes. Leave Sarahan around 11am and reach Sangla after six hours. Sangla is a picturesque place, surrounded by snow-capped peaks. Make a quick stop for lunch and then head to Chitkul village, 28km ahead. The drive through the narrow road is spectacular, where car crosses over streams and there are endless pastures and meadows below the lofty peaks and greenery all around. This charming village, the last one close to the Indo-Tibet border, has traditional Kinnauri-style wooden houses with slate roofs and small tea shops. Get back to Sangla before it is dark so need to rush and barely get half an hour here. Upon reaching Sangla CHECK IN HOTEL AND OVER NIGHT STAY. Wakeup as early in morning bec the day is going be long.

This is a really long journey. But as u see the mountains change from green to craggy brown it makes up for it all. I’ve heard a lot about this, seen photographs, but the virtual world can never replace the real one, for when I’m face-to-face with these rugged, dramatic mountains, it leaves me speechless. At first they are rocky, but then later they became gentler Stop at a small dhaba for lunch, close to Nako village. This y place has a charming lake and a monastery as well. After a dekko, chatting with the villagers, we go to Tabo. What strikes you about this town is how stark it is – surrounded by rugged pinnacles. On reach at TABO check in hotel and over night at hotel .

Tabo is famous for its monastery, which is more than 1000 years old. It’s unlike any other monastery I’ve ever seen – made of mud walls – and has a beautiful temple inside. This World Heritage Site is regarded as one of the holiest by Dalai Lama. Next in line is the 1200-year-old Dhankar monastery, on the way to Kaza. The monastery sits between many jagged peaks and has an amazing view of the Spiti River. But it is listed as one of the world’s 100 most endangered monuments. From its roof we get a bird’s-eye-view of the Dhankar village and the Pin and Spiti rivers. On our way to Kaza, the capital of Spiti, we pass many tiny villages, rocky mountains, vertical rocks and cliffs. This is the biggest town in the region with an old market, and new hotels. Over night at hotel .

Much to our relief staying in Kaza today and travelling within the radius of just 40km. Ki Monastery, about 14km away, the largest one in Himachal, looks like a cluster of many white homes sitting stop a conical hill. A monk very sweetly takes around this 13th-century marvel. Kibber, Langcha and Komic villages, where go next, seem like a sprinkling of whitewashed houses on a green and brown landscape – the meadows encircled by snow-capped peaks. Each village has a board mentioning the population and Kibber has just 200 people, while Langcha’s count is 148. Langcha is one of highest villages in Asia, located at the height of 13, 943 feet and it has a huge Buddha statue and a temple. Komic village is 14, 800 feet high and has just 114 people. Interestingly the population of Spiti is just 12, 000 and that’s because the second son of every family has to become a monk, but this is not necessary when it’s a girl. Over night at hotel .

Tank up at Kaza as the next fuel station is at Manali. Head towards Losar and from there, take the ascent towards Kunzum Pass. As you start on your descent from the top towards Batal, there is a small road that goes towards Chandratal. This is the one you will need to turn on from where the lake is about 10 kilometers. It is a very narrow dirt trail so caution is advised while driving on it. It will take about 5-6 hours to reach the lake from Kaza. Road conditions will be bad through out. . over night at camp.

From Chandratal, drive back towards Kunzum pass and head to Batal. After Batal, you will come across the worst stretch of road you have seen in your life. The distance is short however it will take you good 5-6 hours just to cross this small patch. From Gramphoo, take the turn towards Rohtang Pass and then descent into Manali. Road conditions are worst until Gramphoo and after that it will be a mix of good and bad until Manali. Total of 7-8 hours of journey for the day. Manali

After Breakfast check out from hotel . local sightseeing after that drive back to Chandigarh.
