Ki-Gompa remains the most popular monastery which was raised in the 11th century. The location around this monastery is breathtaking and being located on a height it offers some incredible looking views of the surrounding region. Dhankar Gompa also charms visitors with its simplicity and serenity. Standing at an elevation of 3,894, Dhankar Gompa is counted among the100 most endangered sites on the planet due to its unreachable roads. Surroundings of this Gompa look serene with very less population. Also, spend some moments of peace at the very beautiful Tabo Monastery founded in 996 AD. This remains one of the oldest operating Buddhist monasteries in the country. This is also a UNESCO world heritage site and is often termed as the ‘Ajanta of the Himalayas’ due to its incredible rock paintings and stone carvings. Daredevils must take the courage of traveling through the Kunzum Pass, a renowned high altitude pass in Himachal Pradesh. Connecting Lahaul valley and Spiti valley, Kunzum Pass offers some great trekking opportunities. Chandratal Lake is also a paradise for camping and trekking enthusiasts. Surrounded by the majestic Himalayas, the lake looks magical due to its crescent shape and clear waters. Catch the captivating views of green meadows sprawling all around the lake which make a perfect setting to enjoy camping. Those having an inclination for flora and fauna must visit the Pin Valley National Park nestling with semi-frozen rivers. Here you can spot the rare species of famous Himalayan snow leopards.
