Kibber or Kyibar Village :: Spiti, Himachal

  

                    Even if the Corona panic subsides, the tourism system will not return to its previous state very quickly. Far from traveling in a large group with a travel agency, there will be various restrictions on getting on a train, bus, or plane. As a result, traveling alone or in groups of two or three may increase. As such, many people think that the number of trips by motorbike or in their own car will also increase. This will positively reduce the risk of infection.

                    If the Covid situation is somewhat normal, if you have a similar plan, you can choose Kibber or Kiber village. The village is located near the Spiti Valley, which is a very popular tourist destination in Himachal Pradesh.
