Kibber Village
Kibber
An ancient highland village at about 4,200 meters, with stone houses scattered up the hillside. It is also the base for the Kibber Wildlife Sanctuary and winter snow leopard tracking.
Kibber was once considered one of the highest motorable villages in the world. Its white-walled, flat-roofed stone houses are built against the hillside, with snow peaks such as Kanamo rising behind. The village is the gateway to the Kibber Wildlife Sanctuary. In summer, you can see bharal and ibex. From January to March, local guides lead snow leopard tracking trips, which have become very popular with photographers in recent years. Advance booking is required, and the extreme cold must be prepared for. The village has homestays where you can try yak butter tea and home-style Spiti meals. It is about 18 km from Kaza.
