Ghosts of Gata Loop
Once upon a time, there was a street referred to as Leh-Manali, and it had a unique location referred to as the Gata Loops. Those loops have been like huge curves in the street amid the hills, and they appear to be cool in reality. People who have been using the Trail of Himalaya Road have been having a fantastic time looking at them. However, as they got here near the 19th loop, they may have seen something extraordinary. It looked like a gaggle of plastic water bottles all piled up collectively. But definitely, it was a unique location called the Ghost Temple.
A long time ago, while the street was approximately too close for the wintry weather, a truck with two men inside got stuck due to heavy snow. They tried hard to repair the truck but couldn't. One guy went to get assistance from the nearby village, but he was caught in a village due to the snowstorm. Once they ultimately got here again almost after 72 hours, the alternative guy became lifeless. He did not have meals, water, or a warm temperature to continue to exist. After that, human beings began seeing extraordinary matters across the loops. They started noticing a man asking for water; however, when they got near, he disappeared. Humans thought it turned into the ghost of the man who died there.
So, they constructed a small temple with bricks and left water bottles there for the ghost. They believed that if vacationers did not depart water at the temple, terrible things would possibly happen to them. So, it became a subculture for people to leave water bottles there. If the riders on the Trans-Himalaya road need to live safely, they must deliver more water, just in case.
Story of Mummy Lama at Giu
Gis a small village located around 40 kilometers away from the popular 1,000- year- old Tabo Monastery in Spiti. Close to the Indo- Tibet border, this village is home to 550 year old mummified remains of a monk. The mummy is revered by locals and attracts steady stream of visitors to this region. The 15th century mummy was found in sitting position by the Indo- Tibetan border police in 1975. The body is wonderfully preserved with all its body part intact. It is believed that the monk was a practitioner of Zogchen, a form of meditation. Locals consider the monk to be the guardian deity of the village who protects and preserves them. Our Ladakh tour packages from Delhi include this spot on the itinerary.

At 16000 ft, the pass is most treacherous and dangerous it opens only for a few months each year. An abandoned and dilapidated shed stands close to the pass and it is here that a folklore gaining notoriety. Apparently, this structure is called Shaheed Smarak Bhawan and is believed to be haunted by a cannibal spirit.
