Things to Do in Kaza: Local Guide
At 3,800 metres in Himachal Pradesh's Spiti Valley, Kaza is the administrative centre of one of the most remote inhabited regions in India. Ancient monasteries perched above the Spiti River, Key Gompa, the fossil-rich Hikkim post office at 4,400 metres, and high-altitude village homestays create an experience of profound highland isolation.

Local tip: Acclimatise for at least two nights in Kaza before attempting the high-altitude monastery circuit — altitude sickness is common for visitors arriving directly from lower elevations without adequate rest.
