ತಾಬೊ ಆಫ್ Mesmerising ನೀಲಾಕಾಶ After the trek to the Buddhist caves in Tabo, ಇದು ಈಗಾಗಲೇ ಹಿಂದಿನ ಹಾಗೆ ನಾವು famished ಮಾಡಲಾಯಿತು 4 ಗಂಟೆಗೆ ಮತ್ತು ನಾವು ಹಸಿವಿನಿಂದ. ನಾವು ಹತ್ತಿರದಲ್ಲಿಯೇ ರೆಸ್ಟೋರೆಂಟ್ ಹೋಗಿ ಮತ್ತು ಸ್ಥಳೀಯ ಭಕ್ಷ್ಯಗಳನ್ನು ಆಸ್ವಾದಿಸು ನಿರ್ಧರಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ನಾವು ತಾಬೊ ಗ್ರಾಮದ ಮುಖ್ಯ ರಸ್ತೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ನಡೆದರು ಮೊದಲ ಬಾರಿಗೆ ಗ್ರಾಮೀಣ ಜೀವನದ ಒಂದು ನೋಟ ಪಡೆಯಲು. ಮಣ್ಣಿನ ಮನೆ ರೀತಿಯ ರಚನೆಯನ್ನು ಹೊಂದಿತ್ತು, ವಿನ್ಯಾಸ ಮತ್ತು ಬಣ್ಣದ, ಅತ್ಯಂತ ಅವುಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಕೆಲವು ಎರಡು ಅಥವಾ ಮೂರು ಮಟ್ಟಗಳು. Some of the houses also had sheds built on the side for the cows to rest. We were trying to figure out why this calf was embellished with colourful ribbons, when a Spitian girl popped out of the window. She looked at us, wondering what we were doing and when she was about to shut the window, Bhavika quickly gestured to her to wait for a picture. We noticed that most of the houses had twigs stacked just above the door. Just across the road was this young boy filling a glass of water, looking completely dazed. While these Spitian kids were radiating with joy and love, shining like a beacon. Just this short walk brought smiles on our tired face, it didn’t serve as nourishment for the body but uplifted the soul. Innocence personified! Cute-looking kids happily posing for the camera with their dolls. We turned behind to look how far we had reached from the caves. Not much distance covered, yet at every step we discovered something different. You can see few of the caves we trekked to, although there is a huge stretch of them that you will see in a picture further down, now its time for your mouth to water. We had a multi-course meal at this restaurant called Zion, the full power cafe. We wanted to try some of the local Spitian dishes like Thantuk, Thukpa and not to forget Momos. ಸಾಂಪ್ರದಾಯಿಕವಾಗಿ, momos were only served to important guests when they visited the household. They were a delicacy which were only made on special occasions to celebrate. Since we were starving we ordered for quite a lot of food. We started with shakes (Mango shake Rs 25, Banana Rs 20) then moved on to appetisers that included Veg Momos (Rs 40), Thantuk (Tibetan-style vegetable soup with flat noodles) (Rs 35), Mashed potato with local cheese and fried onions (Rs 50). The food was delicious, especially the Thantuk that had lot of flavours. A meal is incomplete without desserts, so we went on another binge, rice pudding (Rs 40), mango custard (Rs 40 for 1) with fresh mango pieces and banana toffee (Rs 30 for 1). The Mango Custard and banana toffee were scrumptious, so we ordered for one more round, even the guy serving us was amazed with the quantity of food. We were over-nourished now and it was time to walk again. The bill came up to only Rs 395. Zion cafe was more affordable than the restaurant at our guest house. While we were on top of the mountain our eyes were set on the greenish blue water body. We were not sure of the way, but we started to head towards the fields. Walking through the fields and wide open spaces, with Spiti river flowing on the left and the mountains on the other side, we felt in the lap of nature, who was displaying its immense beauty at every step. We walked on a cemented canal, made to provide water in the fields, along side the river. Bhavika was nervous as there were dog fights taking place in the fields, with huge furry dogs running about barking at other group of dogs, she’s scared of dogs by the way. In the picture below you can see some of the dogs standing outside the mud wall of the apple orchard as well as a stretch of caves on the mountain. The wall is made to protect the apples from being stolen, and Spitian apples are well known in India. As we proceeded on the cemented canal a farmer with a plow approached us from the other side, he was walking faster and as he came closer we realized a trickle of water following him in the canal. As the trickle built up force, he was opening and sometimes closing exits of the water entering the fields. The frog was swept by the water force until he managed to cling on to the sides of the canal for us to take a picture! Picture perfect, shot of Spiti river flowing through the barren mountains like a snake crawling and making its way in the fields. If you remember the wild orchids we saw during the trek to a village in Parvati, this one is exactly the same except for the colour. Finally we drew up close to the pond, which was quite big; if it was attractive from the top, it was unbelievable when we were besides it. Like an oasis in the desert, the water body was used for irrigation purpose. The colours were not only green because of the depth in the center, but also brown towards the banks due to plants growing underneath. Air bubbles slowly making their way to the surface as insects came up for a breather and then go back down. There were small fish swimming about and how can I explain the mesmerizing reflection of the sky, mountains and the colours in all their glory on the surface, shattering with ripples created by the breeze only to form again. As the sun set a group of swallows flew over the pond chasing each other, some flying just above the surface as though they were looking at their reflections on the water. While some played games by skipping over water and just about touching it to make us wonder if they were placed there at that point of time, it was the swallow show in the middle of the desert. The words perhaps can’t describe the way we felt, we were, “Woooo did you see that!!!” all the time, our head moving, our eyes following the birds they had all our attention. Even the sole duck and a duckling in the pond were trying to catch our attention but in vain, until the sun started another show. The shadow of the mountains where the sun was setting started spanning across the entire valley, slowly eating up hill after hill. It was time to leave, when we were in the middle of the fields yet again something magical happened. Straight in front of us, the mountains at the horizon were still the same, the sky was light blue, and right behind us where the sun was setting it was dark blue and grey. The sky had unlimited gradients in the middle all the way from light blue, sky blue, navy blue, dark blue, blue grey, every shade of blue you can imagine possible, this was the magic in Spiti, we had not seen these shades anywhere else in Himachal Pradesh. We were blessed by the Mountain Gods! We walked towards German bakery in Tabo, picked up a cheese cake, our favorite on this trip. You can see the internal structure in this picture, this is the roof of German Bakery from the inside in Tabo. What a contrasting image pops up in the head when you think of German Bakery! We went back to our room after an eventful day, ordered for dinner. It is worth a mention that the food was delicious at Tashi Khangsar, but tad expensive, like Thantuk costed Rs 60, that’s too much for a veg soup. A proper meal for three, comprising dal makhani (Rs 40), rice (Rs 40), mixed vegetable (Rs 50), chapatis (Rs 5 ಪ್ರತಿ) and sugarless halwa (Rs 40) came up to Rs 195. Back in the room a game of Scrabble beckoned us, and Bhavika turned out to be the lucky winner, on several occassions!:) The Ancient Tabo Monastery The next morning our plan was to catch the bus to Kaza, the main city of Spiti, and go further up to Ki and Kibber monastery. But the visit to Tabo is incomplete without seeing the ancient monastery. We had passed it a few times and never ended up going inside. Called the ‘Ajanta of the Himalayas’, the monastery holds nine temples, 23 chortens or stupas and seperate chambers for monks and nuns. It is enclosed by a boundary wall built with mud bricks, that separates it from the modern monastery buildings and village. The bus to Kaza arrives anytime between 8.30 am to 12.30 pm, so we had 15 minutes to check the Tabo monastery, assuming that the bus arrived by 9, 9.15 am. Unfortunately all the sections were closed, even the temples that house exquisite wall paintings, stucco statues and murals. But whatever we saw was gorgeous enough, especially the central part. This is the assembly hall where the above mentioned treasures were preserved. The entire monastery was built in a way that it makes maximum use of natural light, the roof had green glass at places and solar cells to generate electricity. On our next visit we would definitely visit the monastery, with that thought in mind we rushed to the Tabo bus stand. It was time for us to go to Kaza, our next stop in the mystical Spiti desert!

U Mesmerising plavim nebom Tabo Nakon putovati do Budistički špilje u Tabo, bili smo glad kao što je to već prošlost 4 sati i bili smo gladuju. Zato smo odlučili otići u restoran u blizini i uživati u delicijama. Za prvi put smo išli na glavnoj cesti od Tabo sela kako bi dobili uvid u seoskog života. Blato kuće imale sličnu strukturu, Dizajn i boja, Vrlo mali broj njih imao dvije ili tri razine. Neki od kuća također je izgrađena baca na stranu za krave na odmor. Mi smo bili pokušava shvatiti zašto je to tele je ukrašen raznobojnim vrpcama, kada Spitian djevojka popped kroz prozor. Pogledala nas, Pitate se što smo radili i kada je bila o zatvori prozor, Bhavika brzo pokazao na nju čekati za sliku. Primijetili smo da je većina kuća je grančice naslagane tik iznad vrata. Samo preko ceste bio je ovo dječaka koji ispunjava čašu vode, izgledao posve ošamućen. Dok su ove Spitian Djeca su zrači radošću i ljubavlju, sjaji poput svjetionika. Samo ova kratka šetnja donio osmijeh na našem umornom licu, nije služe kao hrana za tijelo, ali uzdignuto dušu. Nevinost personifikuje! Slatka izgleda djeca sretno pozirajući za kameru sa svojim lutkama. Skrenuli smo iza gledati koliko smo postigli iz špilje. Nije mnogo prijeđenoj kilometraži, Još na svakom koraku smo otkrili nešto drugačije. Možete vidjeti neke od špilja smo putovali na, iako postoji veliki protežu od njih koje ćete vidjeti na slici niže, Sada je vrijeme za usta u vodi. Imali smo obrok multi-tečaj u ovom restoranu pod nazivom Sion, puna snage caffe. Željeli smo isprobati neke od lokalnih Spitian jela poput Thantuk, Thukpa i da ne zaboravimo Momos. Tradicionalno, momos su samo služili važnim gostima kada su posjetili kućanstvo. Bili su delikatesu koje su samo napravili posebne prigode za slavlje. Budući da smo bili izgladnjeli smo naručili dosta za puno hrane. Počeli smo s trese (Mango tresti R 25, Banana kn 20) a zatim je prešao u predjelima koji su uključivali povrća Momos (RS 40), Thantuk (Tibetanski stilu juha od povrća s ravnim rezancima) (RS 35), Pire krumpir s lokalnim sirom i prženim lukom (RS 50). Hrana je bila ukusna, pogotovo Thantuk koji je imao puno okusa. Obrok je nepotpun bez deserta, pa smo otišli na drugo pijanka, sutlijaš (RS 40), mango krema (RS 40 za 1) mango sa svježim komada i banana karamela (RS 30 za 1). Mango krema i banane karamela su divan, pa smo naručili za još jedan krug, čak i tip nam služi je zadivljen s količinom hrane. Mi smo bili više-hrani i sada je došlo vrijeme da hodati. Bill je došao do samo RS 395. Sion caffe je više nego pristupačne restoranu našu kuću. Dok smo bili na vrhu planine, naše oči su postavljena na zelenkasto plave vode tijela. Nismo bili sigurni na putu, ali počeli smo krenuti prema poljima. Šetnja kroz polja i širokim otvorenim prostorima, uz rijeku Spiti teče na lijevoj strani i planine na drugoj strani, osjetili smo u krilu prirode, koji je prikazujući svoju neizmjernu ljepotu na svakom koraku. Hodali smo na lijepljenih kanalu, napravio osigurati vodu u polju, uzduž rijeke. Bhavika bio nervozan jer nije bilo borbe pasa odvijaju na poljima, s ogromnim krzneni psi radi o lajanje na druge skupine pasa, ona se boji pasa usput. Na slici ispod možete vidjeti neke od pasa koji su stajali izvan blata zidu voćnjaka jabuka kao i protežu od pećina na planini. Zid je napravljen kako bi zaštitili jabuke od krađe, i Spitian jabuke dobro su poznati u Indiji. Kao što smo nastavili na lijepljenih kanalu nam poljoprivrednik s pluga prilazi s druge strane, je išao brže i što je došao bliže smo shvatili curiti vode ga sljedeće u kanalu. Kao potočić izgradio silu, On je otvaranje i zatvaranje ponekad izlazi iz vode ulaska polja. Žaba je pometen snagom vode dok nije uspio držati na stranama kanala za nas da se slika! Slika je savršena, Snimka rijeke Spiti teče kroz neplodnim planinama kao zmija puzeći i stvaranje svoj put u poljima. Ako se sjećate divlje orhideje smo vidjeli tijekom putovati na selu u Parvati, ovo je točno isti, osim za boju. Konačno smo izradio blizini ribnjaka, koji je bio vrlo velik; ako je atraktivna odozgo, To je bilo nevjerojatno kada smo bili pored njega. Kao oaza u pustinji, Voda je tijelo koristi za svrhu navodnjavanja. Boje nisu samo zelena zbog dubine u sredini, ali i smeđe prema bankama zbog biljke rastu ispod. Zračni mjehurići polako čineći svoj put na površinu kao insekti došao za predah, a zatim se vratiti natrag. Tu su male ribe plivaju i kako mogu objasniti očaravajuća odraz neba, planina i boje u punom sjaju na površini, potres s valova stvorio povjetarac samo jednom formira. Kao što sunce zalazi grupa lastavica preletio ribnjak jurnjava jedni druge, neka lete iznad površine kao da su gledajući njihove refleksije na vodi. Dok su neki igrali igre po preskakanje preko vode i samo o dodirivanja da nas čuditi ako su postavljeni tamo u tom trenutku, to je lasta show u usred pustinje. Riječi možda ne mogu opisati način na koji smo osjećali, bili smo, “Woooo jeste li vidjeli da je!!!” stalno, naša glava kreće, naše oči Sljedeće pticama koje su imali svu našu pažnju. Čak jedini patka i pače u ribnjaku su pokušavali uhvatiti našu pozornost, ali uzalud, dok se sunce počelo još jedan koncert. Sjena planine gdje sunce je zalazilo počeli proteže na cijeloj dolini, Polako jesti uzbrdo nakon brdu. Bilo je vrijeme za odlazak, kad smo bili u sredini polja opet nešto čarobno se dogodilo. Ravno ispred nas, planine na horizontu još uvijek ista, nebo je bilo svijetlo plava, a odmah iza nas, gdje sunce je zalazilo bilo je tamno plava i siva. Nebo je imao neograničen gradijenti u srednjem svim način od svijetlo plava, nebesko plavetnilo, tamnoplav, tamno plava, plavo siva, svaku nijansu plave možete zamisliti moguće, to je magija u Spiti, nismo vidjeli ove nijanse bilo gdje drugdje u Himachal Pradesh. Mi smo bili blagoslovljeni od strane Mountain Gods! Hodali smo prema njemačkom pekara u Tabo, pokupila sir kolač, naša omiljena na ovom putovanju. Možete vidjeti unutarnju strukturu u ovoj slici, ovo je krov njemačkog Pekara iznutra u Tabo. Što kontrastne slika pojavi u glavi kad misliš njemačke pekare! Vratili smo se u našu sobu nakon sadržajan dan, naručiti za večeru. To vrijedi spomenuti da je hrana bila ukusna na Tashi Khangsar, ali tad skupo, kao Thantuk stajao R 60, to je previše za povrće juhu. Pravilan obrok za tri, sadrži dal makhani (RS 40), riža (RS 40), mješoviti povrća (RS 50), capatija (RS 5 svaki) i bez šećera halwa (RS 40) je došao do RS 195. Povratak u sobi igra Scrabble nas pozvao, i Bhavika ispostavilo se sretni dobitnik, više puta!:) Tabo samostan Drevni Sljedećeg jutra naš plan je bio da se uhvatiti autobus na Kaza, Glavni grad Spiti, i ići dalje do Ki i Kibber samostana. No, posjet Tabo je nepotpuna bez da vide drevni samostan. Imali smo ga prošli nekoliko puta i nikad završio događa unutar. Nazvan 'Ajanta od Himalaje', Samostan posjeduje devet hramova, 23 chortens ili stupa i odvojena komore za redovnika i redovnica. To je opasan granični zid izgrađen s blatom opeke, koji ga dijeli od modernih samostanskih zgrada i naselja. Autobus za Kaza stiže u bilo koje vrijeme između 8.30 am se 12.30 pm, tako da smo imali 15 minuta da provjerite Tabo samostan, uz pretpostavku da je autobus stigao 9, 9.15 po. Nažalost, svi dijelovi su zatvorene, čak i hramovi u kojima stanuje fin zidne slike, štukature statue i freske. No, ono što smo vidjeli dovoljno je prekrasna, pogotovo središnji dio. To je Skupština dvoranu u kojoj su očuvane gore spomenute blaga. Cijeli samostan je sagrađen na način da čini maksimalno korištenje prirodnog svjetla, Krov je imao zeleno staklo na mjestima i solarnih ćelija za proizvodnju struje. Na naš sljedeći posjet bismo svakako posjetiti samostan, s tom mišlju na umu smo požurili na Tabo autobusnog postolje. To je vrijeme za nas da ide u Kaza, naša sljedeća postaja u mističnom pustinji Spiti!
