Day wise Itinerary

• Day 1 : Shimla - Kalpa

  Today morning proceeds to Kalpa are a small town in the Sutlej river valley, above Recongpeo in the Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh, Northern India, in the Indian Himalaya. Inhabited by Kinnauri people and famous for its apple orchards.
  Kalpa is a town with a history of ancient temples. The Sutlej River below hurtles through deep gorges; the winding mountain road is bordered by chilgoza forests. The serenity of this sleepy hamlet was not often visited by foreigners until recently, but there are still relatively few visitors. There are now over 5 places to stay in Kalpa and more, below, in Reckong Peo where travelers must stop to get their inner line permits to continue upwards to the Spiti Valley, which is a small ancient part of what used to be Tibet. The view from Kalpa is beautiful with an observer getting the feeling that he is sitting in the lap of the mountains with the entire range of peaks being visible. Also visible from this place is the sacred Shivling rock on the Kailash Mountain that changes its color at different points in the day.
  Dinner and overnight stay.

It is the only Buddhist Mummy in the world, that too, in a sitting position. There were other mummies also in Tibet which were buried by Tibetans just after the Chinese invasion. This mummy was discovered by the villagers in 1975 when an earthquake struck the region.

  Tabo Monastery is also referred to as the Ajanta of the Himalayas with a complex that holds nine temples, 23 chortens, a monks’ chamber and an extension that houses the nuns chamber. The monastery’s importance can be judged from the fact that its significance is second only to the Tholing Gompa in Tibet in the entire Himalayan region.
  The monastery’s complex has nine temples built between the late 10th and the 17th century. The monastery has temples of Tug-Lha-Khang (The Temple of the Enlightened Gods), Ser-Khang (The Golden Temple), Dkyil-Khor-Khang (The Mystic Mandala Temple) and Brom-ston Lha khang (The Temple of Dromton) are the few very important to name. Tabo is famous for its exquisite murals and stucco sculptures which bear a striking resemblance with the paintings and sculpture in the Ajanta caves. The monastery also treasures some centuries old paintings which are not allowed to be photographed. Above the monastery, there are a number of caves carved into the cliff face used by monks for meditation.
  The unique beauty of its art and its pivotal historical role in the transmission of Indo-Tibetan Buddhism and culture in the 10th and 11th century makes Tabo Monastery an historically significant site. The main temple preserves an extraordinary wealth of documentation of the history and culture of the period.
  Dinner & Overnight stay.

  • Hotspots : Nako Lake
  • Themes : Adventure, Monuments & Historical Places

• Day 4 : Kaza – Ki – Kiber – KAZA

  After breakfast proceed for the sightseeing of Ki & Kibber. Key Monastery was established by a Buddha’s Disciple named Drompton in the 11th century and is one of the main training centres for lamas in this region. Situated at an altitude of 4115 meters and is also known as the ‘Little Tibet’. The Monastery specializes in certain specific subjects like sadhana, Buddha hood, Cosmology and Physiology and is the most frequented religious destinations for the Buddhists in the state along with the Tabo Monastery. The monastery is around12 km north of Kaza in the Spiti valley above Ki village and you can also hike it easily. Numerous invasions, natural calamities and patch-work as reconstruction has given it box-like structures giving it a look of a fort with temples built on top of one another. There are low rooms and narrow corridors, not so well lit passages, difficult staircases and small doors lead to prayer rooms which themselves do not conform to a single design. There are three floors, the first one is mainly underground and used for storage. One room, called the Tangyur is richly painted with murals. The ground floor has the beautifully decorated Assembly Hall and cells for many monks. Key Monastery has Thangkas (a painted or embroidered Tibetan banner), valuable manuscripts of high aesthetic value, images, unique wind instruments and on the top of all this a collection of weapons which were probably made use of to defend the monastery from the attackers. The wind instruments are still put to use in summers during Chaam. Around the month of June and July, the Kye Monastery celebrates a festival wherein Chaam dances are followed by a procession thatreaches the ritual ground below the monastery. Here, a large butter sculpture of a demon is set on fire.
  Locals here also run an old age home for people looking for salvation in their old age.
  Dinner and overnight stay at hotel.

  • Themes : Mountaineering

• Day 5 : Kaza – Hikkim – Komic – Langza – Kaza

  After breakfast proceed for the sightseeing of Hikkim, Komic & Langza (again depend upon the roadconditions , if road will be clear then visit all three places).
  Komic monastery also known as the Tnagyud Monastery has the honor of being one of the world’s highest motorable monastery at 4587 mts overlooking the Komic village and mountain peaks. As per the sacred ‘Gum Maro’ (Red Box) kept in the monastery, it was foretold in Tibet that a monastery would be built in Spiti in the backdrop of a mountain with the shape of a snow lion on the left and a beheaded eagle on the right hand side with 4 springs in the vicinity. The area in between these mountains was to be in the shape of the eye of a snow cock, which was foretold as the exact location where the Monastery would be built. On the basis of this, the area was to be named Komic (‘Ko’– Snow Cock, ‘Mic’– Eye). The monastery is known as the Komic Lundup Tsemo Gompa and dates to the early 14th century built like a fortified castle with massive slanted mud walls and battlements with vertical red ochre and white vertical stripes. In Komic, there are only about a dozen houses with the total population being between 50-60 people. Other than this, there are the Lamas staying at the monastery throughout the year. The most interesting part is to imagine people living at such an altitude where mobile phones don’t work, the climate is harsh, there is no source of basic amenities and the village is completely cut- off from the rest of the world during the winters due to snow from November to March. The winter characterizes harsh winds and heavy snow where temperatures fall to -30 degrees Celcius.
  Later visit Langza Village,, it is situated at an altitude of 4200 meters, is one of the most picturesque villages of Spiti located on the highland meadows with snow capped mountain ranges forming the backdrop. The village is adorned by a beautiful image of Buddha and an ancient temple more aptly called ‘Lang’ said to be the Abode of the Deities of the region and over 1000 years old. The beautiful peak of Chau Chau Kang Nilda makes the view of this village even more beautiful.
  Langza is also well known for its rich fossil reserves. Millions of years ago, Spiti lay submerged under the Tethys Sea. Fossils of sea life can easily be found scattered close to the village. Regular fossil excursions are organized for a unique insight into the history of the Himalayas. Hikkim also just happens to be the highest polling station& highest post office in the world as well.
  If the season is right, gorge on freshly picked peas from the farms, run behind a Yak or sit endlessly watching the locals herd their cattle. Stroll up to the Komik Monastery, whose claim to fame is the being the highest monastery in the world with a motor able road. Evening return back to Kaza, overnight at hotel.
