Words fall short when you have to sum up your trip to Spiti, but here's an ode by my sassy sister, Puja Palekar that you can't miss-
Nestled faraway in the beautiful Himalayan mountains,
Spiti, a destination becomes a dream alive.
Encouraged and persued by the charismatic Ameya,
Join in this trip 14 other guys who become a hive.
Spiti's beauty reigns its majestic splendour
Langza, Kaza, Tabo are just names that add to its wonder,
Sought are these jewels by us enthusiastic explorers,
A wide realm of sights get opened to us while being trekkers.
Cozed up by Chandigarh, trek in Solang ;
Rohtang pass was just the beginning, we had Chandartal to achieve as a great gang
Monasteries, forests, villages and amazing hospitality,
Welcomed exquisity to its otherwise nature's beauty
Taught a lesson to us by its sporadic harsh and pleasant weather,
So ends Spiti, "s a pity" , as we gather moments together.
