Three years after I had included the region in my must-ride, the dream to ride through Spiti was fulfilled during the week of 6th to 14th June '09. The photoblog is the only thing I can present to the members as priorities in life shift with the change of altitude.
Day 1 - Delhi to Rampur
Crossed Shimla and Theog and before Narkanda
Towering Over Satluj at Rampur
Day 2 - Rampur to Nako
Past the worst stretch of the Baspa Hydroelectricity mess - enchanting views all around called for a break
With the flow after Peo
Entering the Roopa Valley..before Spello
Nako - My stop for the night
The Silver Lining
Day 3 at daybreak - In Nako
Left her behind
Top Gun
"Down down ninety degrees" - ACDC
Thats where I wanna go
and thats where I went
Day 3 - Hurling and the way
Tabo
Tabo Gompa - Oldest in Spiti at 1014 years
Thats brave eh
Tabo Nights
Day 4 - Back on the road
Up Yours
Day 4 - On the winding road up
Leaving the Valley Below
The confluence of Spiti and Pin rivers
The 1000 year old clifftop gompa of Dhankar
The path
The Dhankar hamlet
Day 4 - Dhankar from the Gompa Rooftop
Khoko
Head turners all around
Bird's eye view - Pin and Spiti river confluence
Inside Pin Valley ahoy!
Day 4 - Pin Up from the Pin Valley
Back from the Guling Gompa
Pin River alongside
Exclusive - A herd of Himalayan Rock Ibex in Pin Valley
With a promise to be back again..adios
A break while speeding to Kaza
Kaza
More to come..
Cheers,
Shamik
