Everyone is crazy about the relaxed and natural beauty of the villages. You too must have visited many villages till now but we are telling you about such a village which is the highest village in the world. The beautiful village of Kibber is believed to be the highest motorable village in the world. This scenic village is situated in Spiti Valley of Himachal Pardesh at 4270 meters above sea level, in which all the houses are made of stone instead of mud or adobe brick used extensively elsewhere in the Spiti Valley. Apart from this, Tabo Gompa, which is more than 1000 years old, is also made of stone. Even today, if people build houses in this village, they are also of stone. All the houses in the village have been made so beautiful that it seems as if someone has settled in another world. All the houses are of white color and their uniformity fascinates everyone when viewed from a distance. About 400 people live here and the local residents say that the secret behind building stone houses in the village is that these houses remain cool in summer and warm in winter. They say that these houses are so strong that to date the people of the village have not seen any house collapsing.

High altitude and pollution-free surroundings make Kibber a great destination for nature and adventure lovers. The village is located 20 kilometers from Kaza and it also contains a monastery and the Kibber Wildlife Sanctuary. Kibber Wildlife Sanctuary is home to the red fox, ibex, blue sheep, Tibetan woolly hare, Himalayan wolf, lynx, pika, the snow leopard, and Tibetan wild ass. There are many other nearby villages such as Komic, Hikkim, and Langza which look similar and can be reached easily from Kibber. During the snowfall, the temperature drops below freezing point in winter, so most of the people of these villages shifts to warmer locations.
Kibber village, about 430 kilometers from Shimla, is known for its scenic landscape and numerous Buddhist Monasteries. The monastery built in Kibber stands on the highest point in the village. Key Monastery, which is the most important Buddhist pilgrimage in Spiti Valley, is located close to Kibber.

Standing in the village of Kibber at such a height from the sea level, it seems as if the sky is not far away, just rise a little higher in the air and touch the sky. By standing here, one can get acquainted with the beautiful rocks, sand dunes and natural artifacts built on these mounds. It seems that someone unnamed artist must have come to this earth who, with his artistic hands, gave these rocks the form of artifacts and then departed from here by putting life in these artifacts. Staying at night in the village is a different experience, here the stars seem so close at night that you feel like you can touch these stars with your hands at a certain height.
People here are very fond of dancing and singing, the traditional dance here has its unique charm. When the women here dance in their unique attire, the dance watcher gets mesmerized. Ladarcha fair is the most awaited and main festival of the year, in which Kibber folk dance, as well as the unique culture, can be seen here. It is probably the biggest festival of Spiti Valley, celebrated in the month of July in Kaza. The region receives very little rainfall, but snowfall is very high, passing through the roads between the snow-capped mountains is a very attractive sight for tourists. People come from all over the world to see Kibber, which is considered to be the highest village in the world.
