My trip to Spiti is all the same fresh in addition to bright inwards my mind. Right from the beautiful hotel inwards Kalpa, alongside its mesmerizing views, to visiting the world’s highest postal service component inwards Hikkim. The whole journeying was filled alongside moments of joy, excitement, thrill, curiosity, fun, bonding in addition to craziness. The rest inwards Komik was my favorite component throughout the journey. The locals hither were ever grin in addition to ever wished us jullay (hello) on passing by. Our domicile rest owners went out of their means to brand us experience comfortable in addition to were in addition to then generous alongside the chang (locally brewed beer)!

The best in addition to worst component nearly my trip was the journey. Worst, because the route from Manali to Kaza is quite rocky in addition to is non for the faint hearted who are used to travelling smooth. But if yous deal it, I tin forcefulness out hope it's the most awesome journeying ever. You volition ever hold out worried nearly dozing off because yous don't desire to immature lady a unmarried minute of natural exquisite beauty. Cannot push clit it inwards words. There are some moments when the entire trunk is grin in addition to yous experience only happiness in addition to tranquility joy within.
The beauty of Spiti lay inwards the variety of the house – difficult rocky terrain, gushing water, snowfall capped mountains, greenery (though inwards bits in addition to pieces) in addition to the beautiful monasteries… all of it is only awesome. Surrounded past times the Himalayas, yous volition uncovering yourself seeing the varied beauty of the mountains spell doing ordinary things similar sipping tea, having luncheon or only manifestly gazing.
Though I cherish each in addition to every 24-hour interval spent inwards Spiti, my favorites were the treks to Dhanker Lake, Balangiri Top, Komic village, the calm in addition to peaceful setting of Dhankar hamlet in addition to the Equus caballus riding festival inwards Komic.
Tucked away inwards the eastern corner of Himachal Pradesh, bordering Tibet, it is a footing worth experiencing at to the lowest degree i time inwards your lifetime. Spiti is pleasantly quiet, distant in addition to sparsely populated.
