British Tourists Ride Auto‑Rickshaw Through Spiti Valley’s Rugged Roads

A group of British tourists, part of a guided tour, boarded an auto‑rickshaw in Kaza to traverse the valley’s winding roads. The ride took them past high‑altitude passes, terraced villages and dramatic cliffs, giving them a close view of the Himalayan scenery. The local driver, who has been navigating the valley for years, described the challenge of handling steep gradients and unpredictable weather. The experience reflects the increasing interest of international travelers in off‑beat Indian destinations and the role of local transport in promoting sustainable tourism.
