Langza Village

Langza is a remote and hauntingly beautiful high-altitude village at 4,400 metres in Spiti Valley, famous across the Himalayas for its extraordinary ancient marine fossils — ammonites and other prehistoric sea creatures — embedded in the surrounding mountains, evidence that this barren Himalayan desert was once the floor of the ancient Tethys Sea. A giant Buddha statue gazes serenely over the village from a rocky outcrop, framing Chau Chau Kang Nilda peak behind it. Langza Village Spiti Valley is a paradise for fossil hunters, photographers, and travellers seeking raw Trans-Himalayan solitude.
