Offbeat Spiti Valley | Mane | Homestay | July 2022

Yes, actually you won't find that much info about this village in Google. Just couple of days before our travel Lara ji suggested this village stay, to use our buffer day in my itinerary. And it turned out to be the most pleasant homestay in our trip ❤

Mane village is divided into two parts: Manegogma and Maneyogma. Earlier, both these villages were part of the same village, however some flash flood destroyed it a decades ago. After the flood, the village got divided into two – Manegogma which means the lower Mane Village, and Maneyogma which means the upper Mane village. Our stay was in Jeet homestay in Manegogma.

The village is full of greenery. Most of the people in this village used to do cultivation of Peas & Wheat. And they export the same to different areas of India. Here you can enjoy your stay with locals and taste Green Peas directly from the arable land. Another major highlight is Sopona Lake, which is around 2-3hr trek from Mane. As I was bit tired by doing Dhankar Lake trek on the same day morning so preferred to spend time with locals. We 2 had really great time with Jeet Singh and his family
