Welcome to the second blog of my winter Spiti Valley journey. In this blog, I’ll share our travels from Kaza, Hikkim, Komic to Langza. I’ll share all my experiences from this winter Spiti Valley trip with you here.

If you’re planning a winter Spiti Valley trip, what should you keep in mind? Which roads remain open in Spiti Valley, and what should your route plan be? What problems might you encounter during your Spiti Valley journey? All of this is covered in this blog.

If you want to see white Spiti, visit between February and March. But if you go in November or December, you might miss the snowfall and endure extreme cold without fully enjoying the beauty.

If you want to see Spiti’s mountains and valleys completely covered in white, be prepared to endure severe cold and adventurous stays, truly experiencing Spiti. Visiting Spiti Valley in winter isn’t as easy as you might think—it’s from personal experience.

There’s black ice on the roads of winter Spiti Valley, making driving very challenging. If you go there, be prepared with experience in driving on slippery roads in various places.

Finding hotels in winter Spiti Valley can be difficult. Don’t expect luxury hotels; most are closed. However, homestays are open and can provide accommodation at a lower cost. When renting a homestay, discuss access to hot water for bathing and toilet facilities, or you may face issues.

Medical facilities are scarce in winter Spiti Valley. If you have a serious problem, you’ll need to go to the hospital in Kaza. For very serious issues, you may need to go to Shimla or Manali.

Electricity in winter Spiti Valley can go out anytime, from one day to even 30 days. So, keep your devices charged whenever you’re in a hotel. Also, it’s crucial to carry extra camera batteries and a power bank from home.

Since you’re planning to visit winter Spiti Valley, bring heavy winter clothing as temperatures can drop to -20 degrees Celsius.

Let’s talk about the last part of my second and final blog about the Spiti journey. The beauty of winter Spiti will remain in our memories forever. Winter in Spiti was tough yet beautiful. We spent two days from Tabo to Kaza.

The next day, we went from Kaza to Hikkim, where the world’s highest post office is located at 14,500 feet above sea level. Being there felt truly blessed.

From there, we went to Komic village, situated at such a height that it offers extraordinary natural views.

From Komic, we went to Langza, where the gigantic Buddha statue stands amidst snow-covered hills and valleys. The scenery was breathtaking, with snow everywhere you looked.

From Langza, we returned to our room and spent the night. In the morning, after breakfast, we set off for Kalpa.
