Dusty road near Sarchu border on Pang - Sarchu - Manali route in July 2021

That's 3 kms of no road just before Sarchu while travelling from Pang to Sarchu and onwards to Manali in mid July 2021. 

It took 1 hour to cross the 3 kms because of flying dust due to hectic road construction work which is on in full swing. 
Pang to Sarchu is about 75 kms and takes 4 to 5 hrs to travel.

Summer vs Winter views from Kee/ Ki/ Key Monastery, Spiti Valley, Himachal Pradesh, India in the month of April 2019 and February 2020 by Rohit Mendiratta

Summer vs Winter views from Kee/ Ki/ Key Monastery, Spiti Valley, Himachal Pradesh, India in the month of April 2019 and February 2020. Both are spectacular and both have their own charm. 

Do note the changes on the prayer flags and the top portion due to harsh elements of weather. 
The first image from April 2019, has been my phone's wallpaper since then, and when I again visited in February 2020, I wanted to click the same view. I was searching for this view, and specially the flags mast, but could not identify it, till a Lama guided me to the spot.
