As a blogger, I realized that it’s very difficult to obtain relevant information about lesser-known destinations. So, my aim is to give readers access to the best research from India’s past that defines it today.
Most favorite destination
Key Monastery is a Tibetan Buddhist Monastery, well known for being one of the largest monasteries in Spiti Valley, situated on a picturesque hilltop at an altitude of 4,166 m (13,668 ft) above sea level, close to the River Spiti, in Spiti Tehsil of Lahaul and Spiti district, in the state of Himachal Pradesh.
Trekking
If you’re an Adventure enthusiast and interested in trekking then one can take up a trek (8.5 Km) from Kaza to Key Monastery. However, one must reach Kaza either by bus, cab, or train.
Train
There are no direct trains available to reach Key Monastery. Although, you can cover a part of your journey by train. The nearest station is Shimla or Chandigarh. After which one must take a bus or a cab to reach this beautiful Monastery.
Taxi Available
You can reach Key Monastery by road either by the scenic Kullu-Manali-Rohtang Pass route or take the alternate route via Shimla-Kinnaur. Since the Kullu-Manali-Rohtang Pass route is sometimes shut down during the monsoon season due to heavy snowfall and landslides but the alternate route is open all the year.
