World's highest petrol station! In Kaza, 12 km from Ki Monastery.
The drive to Kaza was pretty amazing. Along the Spiti valley, next to the river, one side of the mountains lies in the rain shadow and looks like a desert, whist the other side is completely covered in snow. Thus, on the road, looking out the left window you see snow, and out the other window is a completely different landscape. Bizarre! Lots of other bits of secondary school geography suddenly made sense as well- glaciers and U-shaped valleys, terminal moraines (remember that?!?), rivers and sedimentation patterns- really cool to see it in real life.
