Chitkul is rainy too mutual frigidity when nosotros larn inwards too is also the in conclusion hamlet at the Indo Tibet border. There is nada notable nigh the place, but visiting the in conclusion hamlet should survive expert plenty reason.
Dhankar was the former upper-case alphabetic lineament of Spiti too the monastery overlooks the Spiti – Pin confluence
This monastery every bit good is roughly one one thousand years old too is of religious significance. The landscape roughly Dhankar is grandiose too dissimilar anything that I always saw earlier (loss of words).
Magical Lake
A steep upward trek leads us to the Dhankhar Lake. The way upwards was non hard yet the sparse air made the climb arduous. The lake was a magical color of turquoise, green, blue…again at a loss of words to depict beauty.

We were excited to spotter a traditional Spitian dance. The dancers were all women who were beautifully attired inwards their traditional shawls too a lot of jewelry. After a piece nosotros joined them inwards their dance. The trip the calorie-free fantastic was indeed a expert way to empathize the civilization of the people here

Breathless due to the trek but feeling accomplished nosotros finally reached Komic, the highest hamlet inwards Asia too a pretty hamlet too.This fourth dimension my hosts were a large identify unit of measurement alongside 2 real cute too sweetness kids.The carte for the eve dinner was tater momos too soup. Given the blowing mutual frigidity winds exterior this was a welcome.
