Khab is a small village in the state of Himachal Pradesh, India. It is located in the Sutlej river valley near the India-Tibet border. National Highway 22 connects Khab with state capital Shimla. Khab sangam is the confluence of Spiti river and Sutlej river. The Spiti river flowing through the spiti valley here meets the Sutlej, which originates from Mansarovar Lake in tibet. The ancient monastery of Tashigang Gompa is nearby. The sight of Leo Pargil peak, the highest peak in the region, which rises to 22400 ft, is of unsurpassable beauty. The cold desert of Spiti, described as 'a world within a world', is just across the bridge.
