Spitified: Part 1
05:03
Hey folks!
How have you all been? Hoping everything is good on your side.
There is a kind of magicness about going far away and then coming back all changed. There is something so happy about places you have never been to. The excitement of reaching an unknown place and exploring it is something which cannot be expressed through words. The way a new place treats you and makes you want to stay back and never leave is definitely the best feeling in the whole wide world. You can never get enough out of a place. There is always more to it. The same happened to me and my crazy friends after exploring Spiti in Himachal Pradesh. We never wanted to leave that place. We could feel the homely warmth in that place. The not so familiar faces still made us feel familiar to them and to the place. We started off by making some new and definitely the coolest friends who made our trip much more beautiful.
Kullu - Kaza, Spiti : We wanted to start off early but as lazy as we always get, we started around 10 in the morning, all excited and happy to explore a new place. Crossing all the places such as Manali, Kothi, Marhi, Rohtang Pass and then diverting from Gramphu to Spiti. The road to Spiti does make you feel a bit irritated by the end of the journey but it is said that nothing comes easy. I can travel through that road a zillion times for the most amazing and mesmerizing view ever. Reached late at Kaza around 1 in the morning and just crashed at our rooms. We were staying at Yangkhyil Guest House near Police Station. You can find them on Instagram by the name @yangkhil and should definitely book your stay there whenever you're in Spiti.

Langza, Komic, Hikkim : Woke up all happy and ready to explore all the new places. We started our day off from The Himalayan Cafe located in the main market of Kaza. They serve good and delicious food and they had watermelon juice which was a big yay for me. All set to explore, we left for Langza village which is a beautiful destination. This picturesque village is blessed with ancient monasteries and buildings of the prehistoric era. It is surrounded by green pastures, snow-clad mountains and barren landscapes. The magic of nature at Langza village leaves everyone speechless. It is situated at an altitude of 4400 meters. There is a Langza Buddha statue situated right in between the village. Our next destination was Komic, World's Highest Village. It is situated at an altitude of 5150 m above sea level. The literal meaning of Komic is Snow Cock. The village is housed in a bowl shaped depression in the high trans-Himalayas and the village is split into two different parts. The village monastery is situated at the entrance and it is said that the monastery is more than 500 years old. The monastery has a rule which states that women are not allowed to enter during the prayers. It has a cafe named Spiti Organic Kitchen which serves delicious food. After Komic comes Hikkim which is situated at an altitude of 4440 m. You will find the World's Highest Post Office situated in Hikkim. Like Langza and Komic, Hikkim is also rich in fossil life from the Indian Ocean before the mighty Himalayas came into being. If you look properly, you might even spot a few! Also, you can spot Himalayan Blue Sheep in the mountains over there. The whole day was full of beautiful places and we were surrounded by such positive people. Also, we ended up partying in the evening and crashing on our beds to start off our next morning all happy.
Outfit Details : I wore a very comfy and casual set of outfit for the first day. The main thing before you get dressed up for exploring any place should be to remain as comfortable as possible. I grabbed my side striped grey pants from Shein.com in which I'm able to jump and move around as much as possible. I decided to wear my white shirt under a blue over-sized sweater from H&M along with the best pair of shoes which are my white chuck taylor. Also, fanny pack has to be the best thing that ever happened to me. It is so convenient to throw in all the essentials and move around freely. And, as I say, you should never forget to carry around a pair of sunglasses. I carried my oval vintage sunglasses which went perfectly with my outfit.
I hope you enjoy a glimpse of Spiti through my blog post. But, to experience that feeling and to capture that view through your naked eyes, you have to be there once. The beauty and serenity of this place is something everyone needs to experience. I have divided my Spiti trip into three parts and will be uploading the next part once you guys soak in the first part and enjoy it. I loved Spiti and finally got spitified. Couldn't feel any better than what I feel after being back from this place. Spiti has my heart forever. And, I'm surely going back for more.
Until next time...
xoxo
