If you're looking for a thrilling adventure in the mesmerizing Spiti district of Himachal Pradesh, Kaza is the place to go. Accessible from both Manali and Shimla, Kaza offers breathtaking views and cultural experiences. The road from Shimla (via Rekong Peo) is open throughout the year, making it a convenient option. However, the road from Manali, passing through Rohtang and Kunzum passes, is only passable during summer due to the challenging terrain and frequent landslides. While there is a government bus service from Manali to Kaza, it's highly recommended to hire a private MUV (Tata Sumo) for a more reliable and comfortable journey. The scenic route from Manali to Kaza, following the Chandra river and crossing Kunzum La and Rohtang La, is truly a sight to behold. Hold on tight as you navigate the rough road surfaces and cross numerous streams along State Highway No. 30. The HP Road Transport bus from Kullu to Kaza via Manali is an affordable option, costing only INR228 (as of AUG 2012) for a one-way journey. Get ready for an unforgettable adventure in the stunning Himalayas!
