After breakfast, drive to Sarahan, once the capital of the Bushahar Empire. This small village is surrounded by lush greenery and beautiful Deodar forests. Visit the Bhimakali Temple, known for its unique design and detailed carvings, which blends Hindu and Buddhist styles.

After breakfast, we leave Sarahan and head deeper into the stunning Kinnaur and Spiti Valleys. Ride towards Wangtu, then continue to Karchham before turning right to Sangla, a charming village known for its trout fishing. Located on a slope with houses stacked on top of each other, Sangla offers amazing views of the Kinner-Kailash Peak. It’s also famous for the historic Kamru Fort, which is now home to the Kamakshi Temple.

Next, ride towards Puh (40 km) on the paved Indo-Tibetan road, following the Sutlej River. On clear days, you can see snow-covered peaks in the Pin Valley Range. After passing the Puh cantonment, continue to Khab (11 km), where the Tabo and Sutlej rivers meet, creating a unique sound. Navigate through hairpin bends for 24 km on a paved road until you reach Yangthang. This is the gateway to the Land of Lamas.

Visit the beautiful Kibber Village (4,025m) and the famous Ki Monastery (4,116m). Although the distance to Ki isn’t far, you’ll need to climb over 1,000 meters on a tough road. Ki Monastery is the oldest and largest in Spiti, offering stunning views. Afterward, ride down to Rangrik and then through a barren gorge for 30 km to Hanse (3,950m), a village clinging to the cliffs. The road is unpaved, and villages are sparse along the way.
