The road up

Six hundred metres in sixteen kilometres

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

  1. Kaza

    Kaza

    3,800 m

    The last town with a bank, a pharmacy and a petrol pump. Sleep here the night before you come up.

  2. Key Monastery

    4,166 m

    A thousand years of rooms stacked up a hill, on the far side of the river from the road up to us.

  3. Langza

    4,400 m

    You sleep here

    Thirty houses, the Buddha above them and the fossil fields behind. The bukhari is lit from six.

  4. Hikkim

    Hikkim

    4,440 m

    The highest post office in the world, an hour's walk over the ridge. Send a card home from it.

  5. Komic

    Komic

    4,587 m

    One of the highest villages with a road, and its monastery. A day's walk there and back with Dolma.

Night

No light for fifty miles

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.

Хозяева

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.

Гости в восторге

  1. Coldest night of my life and I slept perfectly. Tenzin keeps the bukhari going and the food coming.
    Karan D. · Delhi
  2. They told us plainly the road was bad and to come two days later. That honesty saved our trip.
    Ilse V. · Utrecht
  3. Basic by design — this is 4,400 m. Take the altitude seriously and rest the first day.
    Rohit N. · Hyderabad
  4. Dolma walked us to the fossil fields herself. Unforgettable, and nothing like anywhere else in India.

О месте 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.
