Nako In Spiti

This beautiful village is correctly known as the 'Land of the Fairytales' as it is surrounded by the lush greenery and is home to many rare species of flora and fauna. The village also offers the visitors with multiple sightseeing options such as the famous Nako Lake, Nako Monastery and Rakham amongst others. Near the lake, one can also trace the footprints of the Saint Padmasambhava, who is believed to have meditated at the spot for many years.

The village is also one of the most happening travel destinations that are located in Himachal. Since the stretch lies close to the Tibetan Border, travellers need inner line permits to travel to the region. Foreign nationals also need permissions to stay overnight in any part of the village. This exciting village seems so much removed from reality that the visitors feel as if they have been transported to some other world altogether, and thus, the Nako Village is a must visit on a tour to Himachal Pradesh.

Nako can make you feel that you’ve landed on a different planet. Situated near the Tibetan border, it is a picturesque village. There is an ancient monastery and the Nako lake offers boating during summer and ice skating in the winter months.

Tourists can also visit Tabo which is 70 km away from Nako, a UNESCO heritage site with a monastery built in 9th century AD. Another beautiful village to visit is Kibber, the highest village in the world, with major attractions like monastery and sanctuary.
