Thanks. This is my second trip to Spiti but much much more productive on this trip.
Now that Spiti is becoming increasingly popular, accomodation during the last 2 years are much much improved.
I had to do homestay 2 years ago with no running water, dry shared toilet, very basic food. Now there are several
new hotels with running hot water, electric blanket and food is much much improved making staying at 3500-4000 meters
and -20c temperature much more bearable
