Dhankar, a remote village in Himachal Pradesh's Spiti Valley, is home to a 1,000-year-old monastery precariously perched on a cliff at an altitude of 3,900 meters. Once the capital of Spiti, the village offers stark Himalayan landscapes and a serene, high-altitude experience. Reaching Dhankar involves a journey from Kaza, the region's main town, with the monastery's unique location overlooking river gorges being its primary attraction.
