Ascend to the Kunzum la (14,800 ft/4,500 m). From here you get a good view of Spiti valley running 200 kms across from north-west to south-east with the Spiti river drained from the glaciers to the left of Kunzum la. To the north-west you can have good views of the CB 13, 14 and 16 peaks of the Chandra-Bhaga group. There is a small temple dedicated to Goddess Kunzum Devi at the top of the pass with prayer flags fluttering high over it. Take a drive around the temple to pay homage and start the descent to Batal, located at a crossroads, from where you can trek up to Chandra Tal - the legendary moon lake situated at an altitude of 16,000 ft and can continue up to Baralacha la - the source of Chandra and Bhaga rivers. Right across the Chandra river towards the south there is an excellent view of upper Bara-Shigri glacier peaks, mainly Papsura, Dharamsura (White Sail), Pinnacle, Tiger Tooth and Snow Dome, all 6,000 metro-plus peaks.
