Kibber

What I like the most about Spiti Valley is its small villages perched high on the mountains, inhabited by lovely lively people. One such village is Kibber, which is around 16 km from Kaza and is located at an elevation of 4270 m (14,200 ft) with a population of just around 400 people. The unique thing about this little village is its houses that are constructed using stone and not mud or adobe brick that is commonly used elsewhere in the valley. There is a small monastery established by Serkang Rimpochhe of Tabo and a wildlife sanctuary that was established in 1992. Along with animals like the snow leopard, Tibetan wolf, woolly hare and red fox, some rare and endangered medicinal plants can be found in the sanctuary. If you wish to spend a day in Kibber, there are a couple of homestays here.
