Kibber - aerial video himachal pradesh/Kibber, Himachal Pradesh, India/Spiti River originates from Kunzum Range, which is located at a height of 16,000 ft above sea level. Kabzian and Tegpo streams are the main tributaries of this river. A number of water streams coming out of the eminent Pin valley are also part of this river system. It is interesting to note that the position of this river across Himalayan range withdraws it from benefits of the South-West winds that cause widespread rain in all the major parts of India between June and September.
