KAZA- A WORLD WITHIN A WORLD
Kaza is a calm and serene location in the Spiti Valley, tucked away in a corner of the lovely Indian state of Himachal Pradesh. This lovely location is nothing less than a heaven on earth, filled with towering mountains covered with snow, roaring rivers, breathtaking scenery, and glistening streams.
Kaza and the Spiti Valley, which are connected by the Spiti River, are geographically and linguistically very close to Tibet and Ladakh. Kaza is a significant administrative and commercial hub since it serves as the sub-divisional headquarters of Spiti Valley.
The town of Kaza is provided with a variety of respectable hotel accommodation options and dining establishments, assisting visitors in having a relaxing trip. Together, these factors enable tourism to thrive in this small Himalayan town. Both the Kinnaur Valley and the Lahaul Valley lead to Kaza. The Lahaul Valley route is only open in the summer because the Kunzum Pass closes in the winter, whereas the Kinnaur Valley route is open all year.

From Kunzum Pass, a 15-kilometer hike leads to the well-known Chandratal Lake (moon lake). On their journey to the pass, travellers are said to have to make a pit stop at the shrine of Goddess Kunzum Devi to pay their respects and ask for guidance on how to navigate the treacherous terrain safely.
Dhankar Lake
You can visit this serene beauty in the Spiti Valley on the Dhankar Lake Trek. The crescent-shaped lake earned the name “Chandra Taal” (Lake of the Moon). Also, this lake is one of the two high-altitude lakes in India that have received the Ramsar designation.

The nicest camping spots may be found among vast lengths of green meadows, which are also home to a variety of wildflowers in the spring.
