Life in the High Villages of Spiti
Life in Spiti Valley’s remote villages is simple yet deeply connected to nature. Places like Langza, Hikkim, and Komik—among the highest inhabited villages on Earth—offer a glimpse into ancient Himalayan lifestyles. Locals depend on barley farming, yak herding, and strong community bonds. The warmth of Spitian hospitality stands in stark contrast to the valley’s harsh environment. Visitors often stay in traditional homestays, experiencing authentic cuisine and culture. These high-altitude settlements reflect human adaptability and resilience, surviving gracefully amidst snow, solitude, and silence.
