Geography & terrain
Tandi lies in the Lahaul and Spiti district of Himachal Pradesh at about 2,600 m, 5 km from Keylong and 140 km from Manali — the confluence town of the region, its Chandra–Bhaga meeting, the bridges and the transit set on the Lahaul valley.
History & culture
The town's story runs with the 1960s highway era — the confluence town of the Chandra–Bhaga meeting and the 1960s-era highway of the border roads, with the town's modern role as the transit of the Leh circuit and the home of the river meeting and the 1980s-era bridge and the view decks; the town's history of the 2000s-era tunnels and the village life, gives Tandi its confluence character.
