  Rest day at Kaza (check bikes/ gear up) After a hearty breakfast, set out for local sightseeing, exploring Kaza and the neighboring attractions. Kaza has the administrative offices for Spiti. It has accommodation and essential facilities. The Ki (Kye), Hikkim (Tangyud), Komic and Langja monasteries are accessible from Kaza. Kye Monastery - This labyrinth of rooms and corridors once formed a fort. It houses valuable 'thanka' paintings and offers a panoramic view of the area. Some scholars believe this to have been built by Dromton (1008-64 A.D.). Others differ and place its origins in later centuries, but by and large, most concur that it was built before the fifteenth century. In the architectural definitions given to various monasteries, Ki falls in the 'pasada' style which is characterized by more stories than one and often plays the role of a fort monastery.
  Kibber – 11 kms from the Ki monastery used to be the highest permanently inhabited village of the region connected by a motorable road and has a small Buddhist monastery. Now it's Komic....we also visit the world's highest post office at Hikkim village enroute Komic
