Les hôtes

Dorje has driven the road from Kaza over the Kunzum to the Baralacha every summer since he was nineteen, first with a truck and then with guests. In 2019 we stopped putting people in roadside dhabas and set up our own camps: stone huts in Langza and Kibber, where the villages are, and tents at Batal and Sarchu, where there is nothing but the river and the sky. The route is built around the altitude. Two nights at Langza first, so your body catches up; then one camp a day, never more than five hundred metres higher than the night before. The camps open from June to September, when the passes do. Every night, once the generator is off, the sky is the reason most people came.

Avis

From the route

Two slow days at Langza first made the whole trip. Not one headache, even at Sarchu.
Neha R. Langza
Batal is just the river, the glaciers and our tents. Dorje had tea ready before we were out of the jeep.
Tom W. Batal
Basic in the way it should be at this height, and kind. The thukpa was perfect after the Kunzum.
Ananya Bengaluru
Lay outside the tent at Sarchu at midnight and saw more stars than sky. The route profile they send before you go is spot on.

À propos de Kaza, Spiti, Himachal Pradesh

Langza is a village of about thirty houses on a high shelf above Kaza, at 4,400 metres, known for its golden Buddha and for the ammonite fossils in the shale around it. Hikkim, with one of the highest post offices in the world, and Komic are a short drive across the plateau. Key Monastery is on its hill above the Spiti river 24 km away, and Kaza, with the market and the last ATM, is forty minutes down the hairpins.

Bon à savoir

When do the camps open?

June to September, when the Kunzum and the Baralacha are open. We send the year's departure dates in March.

Is the altitude a problem?

Every camp is above 3,900 metres. That is why the route starts with two nights at Langza and never climbs more than five hundred metres in a day. Arrive in Kaza a day early if you can, drink water, and tell us about any heart or lung condition when you book.

Is there power and signal?

Solar power for lights and charging in the huts, a generator at the tents until ten. Signal stops after Kibber; the jeep carries a satellite phone.

Can we do just one camp?

Yes. Langza and Kibber can be booked by the night; Batal and Sarchu only as part of the route.

Règlement intérieur

  • Take the first two days slowly; the route is built around them
  • No white lights outside after dark; red torches are on the shelf
  • Carry everything out; nothing is left at a camp
  • Quiet after ten
  • Carry a valid photo ID
