All about the KINNAUR & SPITI.

Spiti Long winding roads and valleys that present unforgettable glimpses of cold desert and snow-crowned mountains welcome you when you set foot into Spiti Valley. Bordered on all sides by the Himalayas, Spiti gets just around 250 days of sunshine in the year, making it one of the coldest places in the country. With the thick Himalayan snow cutting Spiti off from the rest of the country for around 6 months a year, the summer months are the only time Spiti is directly accessible via motorway.

It takes a certain amount of madness to do this. Spiti Valley is a cold desert mountain valley located high in the Himalayas, is full of barren hills, bare mountainsides, rough terrain, and more like a dry desert. Spiti, which loosely translates as ‘the middle land’. In certain stretches NH5 (the old Hindu- stan- Tibet Road) is amazing, but what makes up for this is the gorgeous landscape that changes as one drive through the lush mountains of Kinnaur Valley and crosses into the rugged moonscape of Spiti valley. It just takes one thing to get going for this trip – passion for traveling – and we have that in abundance.

    Today morning after breakfast check out from the hotel and get ready for an adventure journey  to Spiti valley.

    MEAL PLAN: Breakfast & Dinner

    En route: Puh, Khab, Nako (known for its Lake) & Giu. When you drive from Nako to Tabo,  you cross a bridge over the Spiti River after Sumdo and take a detour of about 7 km to reach a  small hamlet called Giu. This is an almost isolated habitation with no other village in view, but  what makes it famous is over 500-years-old mummy of a Buddhist monk. On a small hillock just  on the outskirts of the village in a small room, inside a glass cabin, lies the mummy of an old  monk. The nails, teeth and hair of the mummy appear as if of a living person. There are many  theories about how this monk’s body has remained in this state without decay and without the  use of any chemicals for preservation. Apparently his body got buried beneath a glacier during an avalanche and remained there for hundreds of years till ITBP (Indo Tibetan Border Police)  personnel found it during some road clearance project. It was then brought to Giu and placed  here, and a small shrine was built around it. Another theory claims that the yogic posture in which  the monk sits can self-preserve the body. Whatever the case be, it is no less than a wonder to  witness that how a human body has preserved itself for so many years without any decay or  chemicals.

    After that proceed to Tabo.
