The first couple of days in Spiti were spent acclimatising and quite honestly, just chillin’ at our base in Kaza, Tsering’s beautiful home. The 2nd and 3rd day was mostly spent indoors due to a 24-hour long snowstorm, but games, conversation and jam sessions kept our spirits high! We lucked out as we had some incredible company – some of India’s finest climbers, a scholar who also happened to be an amazing musician, our own bunch of adventurers from Bazpur, and ofcourse, Tsering and his lovely family.
The following images are before and after we went looking for the leopard – exploring the accessible bits of Spiti.

Thanks to our climbers, we were able to see this grand waterfall that they had scouted to climb. What an unreal place.

The storm’s coming.

During the snowstorm, we were all huddled up indoors – warm and comfortable thanks to the luxurious bukharis in every room!
What a view to wake up to.
On the 3rd day, the sun was out – causing many avalanches across the valley. This particular one was right next to Sakya Homestay – but the PWD got to it right in the morning!
All 14-15 of us living at Sakya Homestay headed out to Sakya Abode to help out in clearing the roofs!
After shovelling the snow down the roof, it was jumping time!
