That is, what i can tell, an excellent info Dhananjay. It woudl be of immense help. From the pics, I found out that visiting out in the remote villages of Spiti will give me more opportunities.

Thank you very much. I will visit you when I go to Spiti, obviously I will go via Shimla.

Hi Bhaswaran, thanks for your praise... these pictures required more than one visit in Spiti. I travelled 3 times to this remote places for the right light! Landscape photographers know what I mean...

Yes, visit Dhananjay in Shimla... He'll show you my "Spiti slide show" if he don't erased his PC hard disk...

I'll miss Himachal this year!

Andreas, your pictures are stunning!

Hi! The road to Ki,Kibber,Gete and Tashigang is one thing,the one to Langza,Hikim and Comic is another. There is NO(NO) connection between the Kibber road and the Comic road,I travelled both MANY times and in between the 2 there is the very deep gorge of the Shilla nala that is hardly possible to cross even on foot in summer.

.....this is something my friends and family does not understand...they keep on asking me why I want to go to the same place again and again, may be in different times... and according to them......try to take the same picture...ha ha

Anyway, I will definitely see you slide show when I visit Dhananjay, or you have a CD/DVD, it will be better.

warm regards,

Bhaswaran

To make you all a little envious, if everything goes according to the plan, I would be doing this home stay trek sometime later this month

and i am doing it in august

mridula · Jun 18th, 2007, 14:25

Now that I am doing this trek in a weeks time, what would you guys suggest about shoes? Can one risk walking in sneakers? Or trekking shoes are a must? Also any budget recommendations about staying in Kaza?

Even i'm doing a lahaul-spiti jeep safari in 2nd week of july and there was news that kunzum-la is open for vehicular traffic now.

Hi! A friend of mine is supposed to have left Manali for kaza today in a car. And jeeps are running,at the exorbitant rate of 1000 Rs per seat. I've seen people doing this easygoing trek on sandals(but their feet were bleeding afterwards). Go for trekking shoes.
