A StayCraft demo. Not real. A StayCraft demonstration site. This is the Dune design. The property, its photographs and its reviews are made up, and a booking here goes nowhere.
About this design All designsLangza, Spiti Valley, Himachal Pradesh · 4,400 m
A mud-brick house at 4,400 m, under the Buddha and the fossil fields.
The road up
Every stop above Kaza is higher than the last. Sleep a night in Kaza on the way up, and rest the first day here before you walk anywhere.
4,400m
Langza
The last town with a bank, a pharmacy and a petrol pump. Sleep here the night before you come up.
A thousand years of rooms stacked up a hill, on the far side of the river from the road up to us.
You sleep here
Thirty houses, the Buddha above them and the fossil fields behind. The bukhari is lit from six.
The highest post office in the world, an hour's walk over the ridge. Send a card home from it.
One of the highest villages with a road, and its monastery. A day's walk there and back with Dolma.
Night
On a moonless night the Milky Way throws a shadow on the roof. Tenzin sets up the telescope after dinner; bring every layer you own.
Gli host
Our house is built the way every house in Langza is built: mud brick, flat roof, small windows, walls thick enough to hold the day's heat through the night. We are above the tree line here, so there is no wood to burn and nothing green after October. What there is instead is the sky, the fossils in the fields behind the village, and a view of Chau Chau Kang Nilda that people sit in front of for hours. We keep the bukhari lit from six, and we will tell you honestly if you have arrived too early in the season.
Amato dagli ospiti
Coldest night of my life and I slept perfectly. Tenzin keeps the bukhari going and the food coming.
They told us plainly the road was bad and to come two days later. That honesty saved our trip.
Basic by design — this is 4,400 m. Take the altitude seriously and rest the first day.
Dolma walked us to the fossil fields herself. Unforgettable, and nothing like anywhere else in India.
Where you will be
Langza
Spiti Valley, Himachal Pradesh
Langza, Spiti Valley, Himachal Pradesh
Langza is a village of about thirty houses at 4,400 m in the Spiti valley, sixteen kilometres above Kaza, under a large Buddha statue that faces down the valley. The fields around it hold marine fossils from the Tethys sea, and the peak on the skyline is Chau Chau Kang Nilda. There are no trees. The season is roughly June to October by the Manali road, longer via Kinnaur, and the nights are cold in every month of the year.

The final stretch is a mountain road and not one to drive after dark.

Walks from the door, at 4,400 m
Tenzin or Dolma walks with you. Rest the first day before any of these.
A morning in the fields behind the village with Dolma, looking for ammonites from when this was a sea bed. Leave what you find where it lies.
Over the ridge to one of the highest villages with a road, its monastery and its tea, and back by the jeep track.
Start early: the wind rises after noon. Rest a day at Langza before you go.
A telescope on the roof on a moonless night. There is no light for fifty miles, and the Milky Way is bright enough to throw a shadow.
Bring every layer you have.
Marine fossils at 4,400 m, from when this was a sea bed.
A village of white houses on a shelf above the gorge, and the walk to Chicham from it.
A suspension bridge over a gorge a hundred and fifty metres deep. Walk it slowly.

Yes, but 4,400 m is serious. Rest the first day.
