Under the blue sky
Between the landscape
I found myself completely lost
Lost in the beauty of Spiti

Tabo

Can't get enough with the beauty of Spiti and its true once you travel Ladakh and Spiti, they always calls you back. Where I am at Tabu which is located in Spiti Valley famous for its ancient ancient monasteries which is also called as 'Ajanta of Himalayas'. In this blog I will take you to taboo Dhankar and Nako lake and you will be Amaze to see how beautiful they are. As we travel from Manali towards Spiti first we reached Tabo by Manali-Leh route. The landscape of Spiti are barren yet strikingly beautiful.
