Mane Homestay-Spiti

Mane

Mane is one of the remotest, unheard and offbeat but prettiest and fastest growing travel destinations of Spiti. Divided in Mane Gogma (upper Mane) and Mane Yogma (lower Mane) which is located on the other side of valley, it is located 31 km south Kaza at an altitude of 9540 ft. To reach the village you have to go 13 km from Tabo toward Kaza, take left from Mane Bridge to cross the river and a 6 km winding unpaved uphill road will take you to Mane. It has 90 houses, residing population of 750 and a higher secondary school.

Know your Host

Lobzang is a very cool and hospitable lady. Though she is not very educated but she speaks good English. May be her passion of knowing different culture has taught her. Take a village tour with Lobzang, and join her as she heads out into the field.
