What to know before visiting Langza

Perched at an altitude of 4,400 meters (14,435 feet), Langza is one of the most picturesque villages in Spiti Valley, Himachal Pradesh. Known for its fossil-rich terrain, breathtaking Himalayan views, and ancient Buddhist heritage, Langza is a must-visit for travelers seeking adventure, culture, and natural beauty. The towering Buddha statue overlooking the village adds to its mystical charm, making it a spiritual and scenic retreat.
