Spiti Valley Day 3 - Tapri to Nako
Day 2
Its day 3, today we are riding towards Nako, we started our ride by 8:30 AM as the distance between Tapri to Nako is 135 Km

Before we began the ride we asked around wether there is air pump near by ? but to our surprise we found out that Nako market is closed on tuesdays. do keep this in mind while planning your journey.

without wasting our time we started the ride but our bad luck, the main road was closed due to the landslide, so we had to go via another road which was 22 km longer hence it took up more than 2 hours more.
After crossing that 22 kms of bad road, we decided to stop and have Maggie in the breakfast. We enquired about the road ahead and came to know about its poor condition . So we mentally prepared ourselves and started to ride .
While riding we encountered waterfall in between so decided to stop for some pics

We stayed at a Hotel which costs us just 600 bucks for the night and the kind of view from balcony, it was worth the every penny .Let the photos talk.

It was already late so we decided to visit Nako lake and Nako Helipad in the morning. We had Chicken Momos and Chaomeen for dinner. The Temperature falls sharply at Night in Nako , so people coming from the warmer regions of India should be prepared.
