Log Text: A visit to this temple can be part of a round trip through some of the amazing cultural and geographical variety India has to offer, with the hill station Shimla as starting and finishing point. I did it using public transport a long time ago.
From Shimla, overnight journey to Manali. From there buses leave towards Spiti Valley, where people greet you with a jole' rather than the normally more common namaste.
First stop once over the Rohtang Pass: Kaza, a green oasis at the feet of immense snow capped mountains. Around Kaza it's possible to visit the picturesque Ki Gompa and Tibetan style villages like Kibber. Driving on, a stop at Dhankar monastery is a must, it was built almost 1000 years ago on a rock cliff dominating the valley and the confluence of its two main rivers. Then on through the lunar landscape to Tabo, a village built near the caves where Buddhist monks used to retreat. At the town monastery, built in 996A.D., I admired what I consider the best (although quite damaged) Buddhist paintings I've had the chance to see.
On to Kinnaur district then! The mountain sides there are lush with vegetation, so many orchards! A stop in Kalpa to admire the view over the sacred mountain Kinnaur Kailash, and from there it's possible to continue towards Sangla, Kamru (with its own wooden tower at the main temple) and the border town Chitkul. Saharan is the last stop before journeying back to Shimla. There the hills are covered in woodland, the low clouds can't hide the vibrant colour of the Hindu temples nor the spires of the Christian churches. Shimla can easily be reached from Delhi by car, plane or taking the tourist train that runs up hill on a narrow gauge track.
