Spiti Valley is one of the highest altitude places in the world and it is so dear to my life and I have never felt and loved a place this much even though I have traveled all over India. Spiti makes me feel alive and if u want an adventurous ride you can take an SUV to Spiti form Assure Trips or you can take a complete Package with Accommodation with Food Spiti valley else is open for 6 months only and make sure you don't forget your jackets and coats for you will need them badly..there are two routes by which you can reach Spiti if you are going by SUV one is from Shimla and other is from Manali if you have 7 to 10 days then prefer from Shimla route or if you are on Short trip u can take the Manali route.. There are so many places to visit like Chander Tal, Kunzum la where it is extremely cold and u feel like freezing and there is Kee Dhankar and Tabo Monesrty Kibber Langsa Village Pin Valley and Nako Lake Sangla Valley Kalpa Spiti is such an unpredictable beauty wherein you will find freezing ice and also in the other moment you will find your car making its way through the flowing water on the roads.

Visited the architectural marvel along with both kids and better half on 16th fm 08:00 hrs to 11:00 hrs . Its indeed a building which signifies best of architectural design and beauty , but the way it's being managed by the board/ management (if there is any) it's far below standard . Few DOs : carry ur own water steel bottle , as the plastic bottle sold is local made and drinking water cooler is neither clean not marked in which year it was . Juices and snacks prices are jacked up , if hungry carry own snacks - it's permissible . Carry good pixel - dslr (nominal fee) / mobile (permitted) and no other visible restriction . Local guide is required if you intend to know the history of the building , can be negotiated at rs.30-35 per person , for 4 persons we paid rs.125 Handicapped person cannot visit due to no supportive infrastructure . Wear thick cotton socks as walking without shoes only is permitted in labyrinth (bhool bhuliya) , prefer October to March cooler months . During summer months the building roof galleries and terraces are not covered with carpet (dari) , causing severe sun burns on ur feet (socks++) - which are best locations to take snaps thru telephoto lenses or high mm lenses , with entire old Lucknow as background . While purchasing ticket , purchase combined ticket for seeing five buildings , it's nominal as low as rs.50 per person ( kids above 3/5 it's considered adult , tentatively). The local guide for "bouli" charges rs.25-30 for group of 4 persons - pl hire to understand the significance of the building.The sacred masjid is not permitted for visit as it's a worship place . Shoes are kept in open (no shade / locker room) with tokens issued @ nominal rs.2 a pair - carry small denomination equivalent coins. Hiring local guide for seeing for all monuments thru combined ticket - roomi darwaja + clock tower + picture gallery + chikan factory (it's no factory but cluster of private owned shops charging exhorbitant ) , along with visits in e-rickshaw costs rs.100 , but there is NO guide per se , rather e-rick guy speaks and we believe :) - no other option . The picture gallery guy (no picture taking permitted) starts moving along and expects to be paid rs.100 or 50 or whatever comfortable . In case of crowd inside the labyrinth , walking in 2.5 ft corridor becomes difficult and smell of substantially old carpet in the pathway is bad - carry handkerchief (with perfume) /masks /ginger water and stamina to wait to get passage , rather feeling pukey. Overall entire cluster of beautifully made buildings require : professional management by an agency which is monitored , uniform clothes , helpline numbers (aren't any , neither displayed - so called tourist police A4 size mobile number displayed on white page at enterance and two stationary sleuths sitting at main gate ) . Proper shoe cabinet rack availability , Que management , automatic room freshners , fire extinguishers , infirmary , digital display boards in the respective languages giving authentic information of the respective buildings and knowledgeable recognised (government board approved) , educated local guides . To know the significance of old Lucknow and its rich history , visit must be made .

During our Varanasi trip, we went for a day trip to Sarnath . After visiting the Mulagandha Kuti Vihar , our next stop was Dhamek Stupa. In fact, both the Mulagandha Kuti Vihar and Dhamek Stupa remains side by side . We walked through beautiful garden at the Mulagandha Kuti Vihar and reached Dhamek Stupa within few minutes. Dhamek Stupa is said to have been built in the year 500 CE while the construction was ordered by Emperor Ashoka in the 3rd Century BC. There’s a small museum right after the entrance which has a few basic details of the monument. The monument is under the control of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) and is well-maintained with manicured gardens and benches with trees ???????? . Dhamek Stupa is one of the renowned historical sites in Sarnath. Built with stones and red bricks, the structure of Dhamek Stupa is cylindrical in shape. The lower part is wholly adorned with stunning carved stones. Besides, the entire structure of this stupa stands comfortably at an imposing height of 43.6 m along with the base diameter of 28 m. Along with that, the complex includes a total of 8 niches each facing a different direction. Another main feature of this historical architecture are the inscriptions in the Brahmi Script. Magnificently carved humans and birds figures can also be seen at Dhamek Stupa. Over-all, a great historical Buddhist site at Sarnath . ???????????? This is a MUST vist site in your Sarnath itinerary . I strongly recommend this place to visit at Sarnath ! ????????
