| The village of Lhalung |
The village of Lhalung (3800 metres) is now connected to the district headquarters
of Spiti, Kaza, by a motorable road but is also possible to walk to Lhalung
from Komic and Demul. We stayed at Khabrick Homestay in Lhalung run by Tashi
Khabrik and his charming wife Dolma. Tashi
is extremely knowledgeable about the region and also works as a trekking guide
in summer for treks across Parang La to
Tso Moriri and other areas in Spiti. He can be contacted at
tashi.bodh@yahoo.co.in and +91 9418962704.
Lhalung has a splendid monastery on top of the hill and for tourists visiting
Dhangkar, a visit to Lhalung just an hours drive away is strongly recommended.
Alternatively, the Spiti left bank trek starting from Lhangza passes through
Komic, Demul, Lhalung and then onto Dhangkar.
