Spiti Day 3

*Day 3: Chitkul to Nako | Into the Raw Himalayas 🏔️🏍️* Day 3 takes us on an unforgettable Himalayan adventure as we leave the beautiful village of Chitkul behind and ride deeper into the rugged landscapes of Kinnaur! 🏍️ From the lush green Baspa Valley to the dramatic cliffs and barren mountains along the legendary Hindustan-Tibet Highway, the scenery transforms at every turn. Following the mighty Sutlej River, we ride through some of the most spectacular and challenging mountain roads, passing through the historic town of Kalpa region, the dramatic landscapes around Khab, and the breathtaking confluence of the Sutlej and Spiti rivers near Khab Bridge. As the green valleys give way to the stark, otherworldly terrain of the Trans-Himalayas, we make our way towards **Nako — a remote Himalayan village perched at around 11,800 ft (3,600 m)**, famous for its beautiful lake, ancient monastery, and incredible mountain views. This stretch is all about raw mountain beauty, winding roads, towering cliffs, and the thrill of riding through some of India's most remote landscapes. The real adventure begins where the mountains get tougher and the roads get wilder! 🏔️🔥 Hit that like button if you love epic mountain rides, and subscribe to *Life with Binod* to follow the rest of our Spiti overland adventure! -------------------------------------------------- 📍 *DAY 3 ROUTE SUMMARY:* • *Route:* Chitkul ➔ Sangla ➔ Karcham ➔ Powari ➔ Reckong Peo ➔ Khab ➔ Nako • *Highway:* NH 5 (Hindustan-Tibet Highway), connecting to the road towards Nako • *Destination:* Nako Village, Kinnaur, Himachal Pradesh • *Key Landmarks:* Baspa River Valley, Reckong Peo, Sutlej River Gorge, Khab Bridge, Sutlej–Spiti River Confluence, Nako Lake • *Ride Highlights:* Dramatic cliffside roads, rugged mountain passes, deep river valleys, and the transition from green Kinnaur to the barren Trans-Himalayas -------------------------------------------------- 📸 *CONNECT WITH ME:* Instagram: @life.withbinod 🔔 Subscribe to *Life with Binod* for more Himalayan road trips, epic mountain landscapes, and the complete Spiti overland circuit! -------------------------------------------------- *HASHTAGS* #ChitkulToNako #Nako #KinnaurValley #SpitiCircuit #HindustanTibetHighway #HimalayanRide #NakoLake #KhabBridge #ReckongPeo #SanglaValley #HimachalPradesh #IncredibleIndia #MountainRiding #HimalayanOverland #LifeWithBinod
