It takes me 1,5 hours waiting patiently in the office in Kaza to get a permit for the border areas. I got it and now now I am ready for the new challenge – The Great Himalayan Circuit via the Spiti and Kinaur Valleys.
One local bus per day. The fare is almost nothing, but you should be ready for the heat, dust, crowd and thrilling moments on the edge…
In the afternoon I managed to visit two interesting tibetan monasteries close to Kaza:
Especially Ki Manastery is very live and offers great views of the Spiti Valley. Dankhar Monastery on the lonely hill is 1200 years old.
Just before sunset I reached Tabo village. Tabo Monastery is on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
It suprised me: hard to say it is nice. But made of the mudbricks it is very old and very different.
