KIBBER VILLAGE PANAROMIC VIEW

Kibber (Kibar) village is considered (arguably) as the highest habitable place on earth at around 17000ft. Located in the deep of Spiti valley (Himachal Pradesh , India), Kibber is a perfect example of how life has been surviving in extreme inhabitable conditions. Spiti valley before its recent exposure to the modern world still used to survive on barter system as commerce. The valley is cut of from the rest of the country (India) for 6 months (Oct - May) and is accesed by some hostile terrain and non existent roads. Still its majestic beauty and splendour are a traveller's delight.
