i opened a MYSTERIOUS GATE of a monastery in Spiti Valley, and SHOCKED 😶 | Julley Spiti

About the Highest Motorable Villages of the World:
Langza, Komic, and Hikkim are three fascinating villages in the Spiti Valley, each known for its unique features, culture, and scenic beauty.

1. Langza
Altitude: About 4,400 meters.
Fossils: Langza is renowned for being a fossil-hunting paradise. Millions of years ago, Spiti was submerged under the Tethys Sea, and many marine fossils like ammonites can still be found around Langza, particularly in the nearby fossil park.
Buddhist Statue: The village is marked by a giant Buddha statue that overlooks the valley. This statue symbolizes protection and blessings for the region and is one of the most photographed landmarks in Spiti.
Chau Chau Kang Nilda Peak: Langza offers stunning views of this snow-capped peak, which towers at around 6,303 meters.
Traditional Houses: The village is known for its mud houses, built in the traditional style to withstand the harsh climate of the region.
2. Komic
Altitude: One of the highest motorable villages in the world, sitting at around 4,587 meters.
Monastery: Komic is home to the Tangyud Monastery, a significant religious center for the region. The monastery is built in the fortified style, reflecting the turbulent times during which it was constructed. It belongs to the Sakya sect of Tibetan Buddhism.
Isolation and Scenic Beauty: Komic is known for its stark, dramatic landscapes and remoteness, offering stunning views of the surrounding valleys. The village remains isolated for much of the year due to heavy snowfall in the winter.
Spiritual Atmosphere: The village is steeped in spirituality, and the monastery serves as a key religious site for the people of Spiti.
3. Hikkim
Altitude: Around 4,400 meters, making it one of the highest villages in the world.
World’s Highest Post Office: Hikkim is most famous for being home to the highest post office in the world, located at an altitude of 4,440 meters. The post office is a crucial lifeline for locals and visitors who want to send postcards from one of the most remote regions on Earth.
Agriculture and Livelihood: Despite its high altitude, the villagers engage in subsistence agriculture, mainly growing peas and barley. The harsh climate restricts farming to a very short period.
Remote Living: The houses in Hikkim are similar to those in Langza, made of mud and stone, which helps in insulating against the cold. Life here is challenging due to the extreme weather conditions, but the simplicity of life and the views make it a peaceful retreat for visitors.
These villages offer a glimpse into the ancient Tibetan Buddhist culture, traditions, and ways of life, set against the backdrop of Spiti’s majestic landscapes.
