How I managed to travel in monsoon to one of most dangerous roads & valley of the world - The Kinnaur Valley, Himachal Pradesh.

Living the "Highway" Life, recreating the famous Bollywood scene, off-course a movie buff <3

Highway to Heaven - Kinnauri Adventure

I felt lost when i suddenly decided to pack my bags and fulfill my long awaited wish trip to Spiti.

Must read: Kinner Kailash

Hi, I am Albana, and this is my random 4 day tour to Kalpa which was supposed to be a Spiti Tour but 4 days were not sufficient from a Delhi-Spiti-Delhi Solo trip, so i woke up next morning in Kalpa with nothing on my mind but peace.

I leaned almost half out from the window to capture or feel the "Highway" life. My solo backpacking in Kinnaur Valley.

So,all these pictures are of Kalpa village, Roghi village & in-Between. Amazing joy trip, a get away from our always competing busy hustling lives back in cities. Everything is a part of pln but plan changes right, you ever feel stuck somewhere means you need to end all your contacts from civilization & zomato, indeed :D and rush to remoteness/solitude.

Kalpa is that get away trip. I am glad i did it. Shankar bhaiya's Homestay is must if you want a local friendly family to help you out & treat you as one of them - i mean local bro not as family, OKAY, that's too intense for the blog :D :/ anyway they indeed treat you as family :).

It was a great adventure and i must say, visiting hills in monsoon is yes sometimes is risky but it is worth taking the risk.

Thank You :)

Yours, From the North
