The first ideal pit-stop in an exclusive Lahaul and Spiti trek or tour is Keylong, which connects to lower Himachal Pradesh via the Rohtang Pass. The stay at Keylong is usually garnished with visits to the Buddhist establishments in the Khardong village. Wear your startle pants as incredulity slide your way!

The conclusion to the stay in Lahaul is brought with a trip across Pattan Valley. Before the Kunzum Pass brings tourists over to the Spiti-end of the trip, the Hindu temples of Mrikula and Trilokinath round off the Lahaul side of it.  The underrated ancient architectural marvels are a sight to behold!

Near the Kunzum Mata Temple, the villages of Losar and Rangrik are some of the stops that can accommodate for food and lodging. Adventure in Lahaul and Spiti begins with the option to embark on the trek to the Moon Lake of Chandrataal, from this point. There will nothing like ‘too much positivity’ on this trip.

If you are a tourist with nerves of steel, riding up to the highest two-wheeler accessible villages of Kaza and Hikkim can be quite an experience! The sight of Kaza town set against the flowing River Spiti in the back soothes the weary mind. Hikkim, on the other hand, boasts of the highest post office in India that can be accessed by a vehicle. Explore the Giu village on your way to Kaza for the sight of the Giu mummy that is 550 years old!

Decked in Buddhist motifs, the village of Tabo stuns with its ancient architecture and somberness. Referred to often as the “Ajanta of the Himalayas”, the Tabo monastery and the Dhankar Gompa complex, make for a mind-boggling experience. The Tibetan murals and paintings in the monastery lend an air of reverence. The Dhankar Monastery completes the trifecta with a visit to Tabo cave your please your appetite for adventure.
