Langza

Situated at an altitude of 4420m, 16 km North of Kaza, this picturesque village is blessed with green pastures, snow-clad mountains and barren landscapes. It is certainly the most stunning village in the whole Spiti Valley. The main occupation of the villagers in the olden days was mud craft hence it derives its name Langza (Lang means ‘Temple’ and Za means ‘Pot’). Vessels of all shapes and sizes still can be seen in every home. A visit to Langza is not complete without hunting for million years old fossils. You may find some kids selling them also.  Langza being located at a high altitude, one can spot many endangered species such as snow leopards, Tibetan wolf, Himalayan griffon, etc. around the village during winter.
