Tabo Homestay-Spiti
Tabo
In a dramatic valley setting hemmed in by scree slopes, 48km southeast of Kaza, is situated Tabo, second largest town of Spiti and a fine place to kick back for a couple of days. It is usually used as a base for journey to Dhankar, Lha-Lun and the Pin Valley. Tabo is known for India’s oldest monastery complex, celebrated its 1000th anniversary in 1996. The mud-brick walls of Tabo Monastery enclose some of the finest of all Indo-Tibetan art and called as Ajanta of Himalayas.
Hardly at a distance of 50 mtr from Tabo Monastic Complex, it’s a great mix of traditional and modern homestay. There are 4 guest rooms around the garden, a cultural room on one side and also a prayer room in the same area. A typical Spitian home setting it is! All rooms comes with attached washroom. There is a beautiful café of its own which is very popular in Tabo. We grow organic vegetable in our own green house to serve you fresh and healthy food.
