Day 0-1 (09:00 pm)
Delhi-Rakchham v.i.a Shimla,Rampur, Kinnaur, Sangla
Start of this mesmerizing journey happened from Delhi with bunch of strangers.
Me and my friend were together and rest all booked through Thrillophilia(details in youtube Description). From delhi we boarded in AC volvo to Shimla. It was early morning around 7, dark but pleasant. We didn't get any time to freshen up or to have breakfast as our local guide cum driver hurried us to sit on his tempo traveller and start the our real journey to spiti.
Finally, after around 2 hours somewhere in shimla, we stopped, freshened up and had breakfast and started our journey to Rakkcham again.
Just before sangla we cross this bridge and it was amazing to see with blue waters.
Believe me all those landscapes and tourist places on way was amazing to witness alongside Satluj River.
Whole 360 view of this place amazing. Check out the video below for 360 view

After having an amazing breakfast, we started again to visit once the famous world highest places. We went on top of traveller and try to grasp everything we can on the journey to fossil village Langcha.
It's a small village with Buddha Statue at 14300 ft as the center of attraction
After Langza, we headed towards Komic(Highest Motorable Village)
on the way to Hikkim from Komic.
Plenty of snow to make a snowman.
We spent good 1 hour to march next to reach Hikkim.(World Highest Post Office till). We saw south indian movie shooting by Dilquer Salman. My friend even snapped with him and finally we saw the famous Post Office
I sent three postcards from the Post Office to my family, friend and relative.
Everytime we search for spiti, Key Monastery is there. That's the first place we wanted to see and so finally it was Key Monastery all the way from Key Village to the top of it at a peak.
As you can read they have 350 monks. Not all at that time.

Day 5-6(10:00 am)
Kaza - shimla v.i.a Gue Village(Mummy place), Kalpa, Kinnaur(Suicide Point)
We left Kaza to see Mummy. Yes the famous Mummy. It's actually very far from kaza as we have to take few extra Kms from usual way so it's advisable to see Mummy on day 2 on the way to Tabo from Rakcham.
They have plenty of rooms and 2 washrooms (No dry toilet).
It was around 3:30pm day 5 we reached Gue village to see Mummy.
It's scary.
A nice temple just adjacent to the place where they kept Mummy Tenzin.
We left around 3:30 from Gue to kalpa. In between we stopped at local market of Kalpa and bought some Souvenir. I'll advise you also to buy some. Finally around 7:30 or 8 pm we reached Kalpa. We took shower and had dinner.
Few even went on terrace to witness clear sky and count stars like we're kids.
We stayed whole night at an amazing hotel with good food and facilities.
We check out on day 6 11:00 am to Shimla
Kalpa is beautiful beyond words.
I have never seen such a scenic place ever in my life
Lastly We went to our final tourist spot.
It's pretty steep. No doubt this place is best suited for suicides
For the last time we snapped for the best and left with heartfelt memories.
