I have no words to describe this place. This is the best place I have been in winters in terms of beauty and away from any cities hustle and bustle.

One cannot ask for more nature and beauty!!! On a clear day, the blue sky, snow clad peaks and the Buddha statue make a perfect click. Did it in July 2019, on my RE TB 500.

And beyond this, you’ll find Langza’s main attraction – a Fossil Park littered with buried remains of prehistoric sea creatures! Fossils that conclusively proved that Spiti Valley was once under the Tethys Sea, and millions of years ago, when the Indian and Eurasian plates collided, the Himalayas emerged from this sea.⠀…
