Kanamo Peak in Spiti Valley is one of the major peaks in India that can be reached by foot. Perennially snow-covered, this visually imposing Himalayan peak is embroiled in adventure, leading you to a snow ridge that stands tall in the backdrop of Kibber and Tashi Gang village.
Kibber is popularly known in Internet as World's Highest Motorable Village. After the trek you will also get a chance to explore the World's Highest Village (Komik Village) and also send a post card to your loved ones from the World's Highest Post Office (Hikkim).
The trek to Kanamo Peak leads you through the deserted meadows above Kibber, before you reach Thimer Tso(Lake), above which lays the base camp. After resting for the night, when you could also do an acclimatisation hike, you will continue towards the summit, walking over lose cree before arriving at the base for the last climb.
Spiti Valley is still remote, but has seen much boost in tourism recently. People travel there all year long but if you truly want to experience the local life of the people of the valley; their traditions and beliefs, rarely seen dance moves; colourful attires; amazing masks, interesting rituals; then you must attend Spiti festivals in Spiti valley.
