The day I reached Chichham saw quite a bit of sleet and snow till early afternoon and it eased up by evening. Next morning was clear and most of the snow had melted. It was 1000 m higher than Chitkul with even less greenery due to altitude and season. The place is normally under snow […]

A month in Kinnaur & Spiti. Part 3: Kaza
The hotel I reached was an old property with worn down furniture and repairs and new construction going on. They didn’t even have the kitchen operational as it was reopened only a few days back. So I went out and found a small dhaba for a meal of kadhi chawal. After coming back, I had […]
A month in Kinnaur & Spiti. Part 2: Chitkul

A short trip to Keoldeo National Park, Bharatpur
This post is just a bunch of pictures I took during a short trip to Keoldeo National Park, Bharatpur. Most people just call it Bharatpur bird sanctuary.

Kinnaur Lahaul Spiti Trip 2017: Nako, Kibber and Gete
Next morning started with a trip to Nako. I had little interest in the place but thought might as well see it while in the vicinity. A woman requested her to drop her grandson to the village school, so that was another reason. Strangely, the children learn Hindi and English, but no local language in […]
