About Kaza

Nestled in the remote trans-Himalayan region of Himachal Pradesh, Kaza serves as the heart of Spiti Valley. Surrounded by stark mountains, deep gorges, and high-altitude villages, Kaza offers a unique blend of natural beauty and Tibetan Buddhist culture. The town is divided into two parts—Old Kaza, known for traditional homes and monasteries, and New Kaza, which houses markets, hotels, and administrative offices. It acts as a central hub for travelers exploring iconic places like Key Monastery, Hikkim, Langza, and Kibber. With its dramatic landscapes, clear blue skies, and raw Himalayan charm, Kaza is a paradise for road trip enthusiasts, photographers, and seekers of offbeat experiences.
