chicham

the spiti-kinnaur trail

coming from kaza

We headed to chicham
On the way there was the highest bridge in India called the Chicham bridge
- On top of it
- The roads around chicham were beautiful
We reached Gyalli’s village
- I noticed most homes there have a cozy dining layout where everyone is seated around the fireplace
- Gyalli served us some hot tea, a relief to my sore throat
- they had also had a pooja room which was very well decorated and sacred
Then we headed to Key monastery the largest in the Spiti valley
- It was a small climb but with my health state I dreaded that climb
- After reaching the top I relaxed in one of the meditation rooms
- There was also a tea room adjacent to the meditation room where I had some herbal tea served by the monks there
- From a gift shop there I bought some solid fragrances along with a postcard
- Behind the monastery is a beautiful “three buddha statue”
- and just above it a beautiful view point(again a dreaded climb) which was on the postcard
