Kibber

Kibber is one of the most beautiful villages that you can see in Spiti and is located around 16 km away from Kaza town. Located at a height of 4270 m, the village till recent claimed the status of being the highest village in the world connected by motorable road. The road to Kibber village crosses one of the most popular monasteries in the region—Key Monastery. A number of boards welcome you at the entrance of the village, which has around 60-70 houses on multiple levels. Each house is painted in white with blue and black outline on doors and windows. Like every village, Kibber also has its own monastery, but unlike others, it has a wildlife sanctuary that is inhabited by many animals. The sanctuary is also known for rare medicinal plants; I wonder how much endurance these plants would need to grow at such high altitude!
