Kaza Tourism

Key Gompa:

This Tibetan Buddhist monastery lies at an altitude of 4,166 m above sea level, on a picturesque hilltop. It is among the biggest and oldest monasteries in the region, and provides marvellous views of the valley below. However, it is not just the views of the monastery that make it an important part of Kaza tourism packages. The spiritual energy and rich history of the monastery also attract many. More than three lamas receive their religious education at the Key Gompa, and can be seen singing, dancing and playing with their pipes and horns on its premises. The walls of this monastery are decorated with beautiful murals, paintings, thangkas and stucco images.

Kibber Wildlife Sanctuary:

Kibber Wildlife Sanctuary features a large expanse of lush, fertile terrain along the banks and is home to unique and rare wildlife. It is a major highlight of Kaza tourism in Himachal due to the surplus of flora and fauna found at the park. There are several thousand varieties of trees and plants across the Kibber Wildlife Sanctuary, including Rosa sericea, Hipopheae and Lonicera. Kibber Wildlife Sanctuary is especially renowned for its medicinal plants. You may also get the chance to spot certain mountain animals like Himalayan wolves, atypical Siberian Ibex, Red foxes, and Tibetan woolly hares here. 

Kibber Monastery:

Tourism in Kaza is pretty famed for its many monasteries, the Kibber Monastery being one of them. This monastery was founded in the 11th century and is dedicated to the Buddha of Compassion. You can find a variety of intriguing paintings, statues and ancient scriptures at the monastery. 

Chicham Bridge:

When it comes to Kaza city tourism, you cannot miss out on the Chicham Bridge. In many ways, it is an engineering marvel, and a testimony to human creativity. Perched at an altitude of around 4,000 meters above sea level, Chicham Bridge is known to be among the highest suspension bridges on the planet. This bridge connects the villages of Kibber and Chicham, and spans a 500-feet deep gorge. It provides striking panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. Chicham Bridge is stunningly complemented by the backdrop of snow-clad peaks and the Spiti River flowing in the gorge.
