Well , the most of Spiti can keep you breathless always ( and I am not just talking about because of it's super altitude ), so choosing this 7 times was really tough! But here are my favourite moments from Spiti that will surely live on , in an otherwise forgetful mind. Staying in Kee was awesome and rising to the beautiful view from the monastery was better. Such a fresh start to another amazing day in Spiti. At just 200 Inr a night , you can sleep in one of the coolest monastery in world and wake up to this view ! Look at my widening smile! The roads are the worst if you think from a civilised perspective of mind, but if you think it through, you will see, that the bad roads are the guardians of the Galaxy of Spiti! If the roads were super good like anywhere else , too much people and too little of an adventure. So keep it in mind , next time you are complaining on a bumpy ride ! It's one thing to fall in love with the land , another to fall in love with the people. Amazing times to be invited in their kitchen and sharing butter milk and bread, laughing , giggling and making the natives your friend! The view from Dhankar Gompa is something magical. The confluence of pin and Spiti river with the backdrop of strecthed valley makes up for a one whole experience to meditate keeping your eyes open ! Hitchhiking always is exciting , but doing it in Spiti added extra cream on the topping! The grand views from car windows changes into panaroma, grander huge screen movie experience, and all I could do is keep craving for more ! A walk in the local farms is most probably the most thought provoking thing you can do. And any day , this will win my recommendation of not to give a miss while in Spiti. You can never stop thinking , how on such barren land , they have such beautiful vegetations! Imagine this , in middle of nowhere , just after a crazy rainy storm , with no one around , not even a bird , you find a rainbow just to yourself! What could have been a better gift from the middle lands which kept me comming every year since last three years. A perfect thing to get me back again next year surely!

Note from the Author," Travel made me rich and free. Magic and miracles are true , once you wander on the roads to places different and divine. I have collected so many thoughts and stories while being a Tour & Trek guide for last seven years. Sharing with you all, those memories and stories , and wishing you all , that someday you guys travel far and wide too. I am not a great writer , so ignore my grammar and spellings, read it with feelings, and you might just be affected with the wanderlust to hit the road" Categories
