Keylong is the main town of Lahaul-Spiti district of Himachal Pradesh. Situated at an altitude of 3350 mts above the sea level, it is surrounded by a number of small villages. Together they are the main source of agricultural produce for the entire district. Barley, buckwheat, and potato fields are spread beautifully over the hills. There is a strong influence of Tibetan culture because of the region's proximity with Tibet.

This town lies on the route between Manali and Leh, and it's worth making a halt for a day or two here.
