Summary: If
not for the spectacular view, the Spiti River snaking through, and the
monastery, Kaza would be like any old dusty bus town, with most of the old
houses disappearing to make way for shabby concrete constructions – mostly
guest houses and restaurants to cater to the tourists that come here from
Manali when the Kunzum Pass opens.
Kaza
is filled with these black birds that look like crows but have golden beaks; we
saw these birds from a distance which seemed to soar like eagles, with sudden
spurts of movement until they gracefully piggyback a thermal and dance circles
around the small town. It’s only when they came closer did we realise that
these were actually crows, but with yellow beaks. Over the next two weeks we
saw these fellows everywhere. We were told that there are crows with black,
white, and red beaks. although we didn’t see any.
