Banjara
Retreat is also located at Kaza
(12000 ft) is the capital of Spiti
Valley (Himachal Pradesh,
India). Spiti, locally pronounced "Piti", is bounded
on its south and west by the valleys of Kulu and Lahaul; the
region of Ladakh lies to the north and the Kalpa valley lies
to the south-east.
Geologically and archaeologically, Spiti is
a living museum. Monasteries, villages, high altitude farming,
a rugged / rocky terrain and rocky mountain slopes
sweep down to the riverbeds giving the landscape a moon-like
appearance.
Kaza
is known for its most stunning 360 degrees views all around it
and a must visit for any adventure and nature lover. For
the touristy there is world's highest retail petrol outlet,
world's highest inhabited village and for the pilgrimage
oriented there are a number of very significant monasteries in
the area such as Ki Monastery.
Due
to its relative accessibility, Kaza is typically visited as a
part of high altitude trans Himalayan driving adventure
itinerary. Once Kunzumla Pass starts off after 10th June,
Kaza also gets guests from Manali (200 kms) to visit it
alongwith Chandertal Lake.
Best time to visit
- June to October.
Accommodation :
Eleven rooms with attached bathrooms with modern
amenities. All rooms overlooking stunning close range snow
peaks.
Places to visit around the Retreat
-
Ki Monastery
: Ki Gompa, the largest in the valley, is 11 kms. away. Located above Kaza at the height of 4116m, fine murals and valuable collection of Kangyur - ancient Buddhist texts are its attractions.
-
Gete and Kibber
: Gete at 4270m and Kibber at 4205m are known for being the highest inhabited and motorable villages in the world. Perched on a vast rocky strech of land and surrounded by mountains of limestone rocks, the view from here is truly breathtaking.
-
Langza-Hikkim-Comic Day trek
: A good trek from Kaza is the Langza-Hikkim-Comic circuit which passes thru a virtual treasure trove of fossils, the highest village at 4460m and highest monastery at 4560m respectively. The panorama as viewed from these villages is enthralling and inspiring. The high and mighty peaks can be seen from here in their full glory. The Chocling La Peak (6510 Mts) is visible very clearly like a Shivalingam from these villages.
