About Gette
Gette Village is a very small village located near Kibber Village of Spiti Valley.Gette is very distinct from all other villages in Spiti Valley because of the fact that there are only 7-8 houses in the village.So it kind of takes you back in time giving you an idea how difficult life in the old days must have been.Not that it is easy now! Gette falls on the road between Kibber and Tashigang and there is another route to Gette that very few people know of.
How to reach Gette
Gette falls among the belt of high altitude villages of Kibber-Gette-Tashigang.Gette is around 26 Kilometers away from Kaza. There are two ways of reaching Gette.First one is for you to continue on the Kaza to Kibber road and as the village of Kibber comes into view you will see a board pointing to a dirt road pointing towards Tashigang.So ypu will have to take that road towards your right side and it continues to go uphill.After 10 odd Kilometers you will come across the Gette village if you continue straight on that road for another 6 kilometers you will then reach Tashigang.
Key Monastery to Gette
A lot of people don’t know about this route but it is used extensively by the people who live in Gette to come down.So Starting from the Key Village there is a trail which leads to the Key Monastery.If you happen to reach Key monastery through the road which leads to the Monastery then also it work fine but the trail from the village is shorter one.Now once you have reached the monastery’s height you will have to walk upwards on the same trail.For the ones who reached monastery from the road the trail will be on your left if you are facing towards the Spiti river.So carry on that trail and you shall reach Gete in about 2 hours time.A lot of Israelis follow this route as they walk there way into the villages.
