Langza Village
Langza
A highland village famous for marine fossils. A giant golden Buddha statue on the hillside overlooks the village, with the Chau Chau Kang snow peak behind it.
Langza sits at about 4,400 meters. Tens of millions of years ago, this area was the seabed of the Tethys Sea, and ammonites and other marine fossils can be found on the slopes around the village. Taking fossils away is prohibited, but small stalls in the village sell them. At the village entrance, a colorful Shakyamuni Buddha statue about 8 meters tall faces the river valley. Together with the Chau Chau Kang peak behind it, it forms one of Spiti's most photogenic scenes. The village has homestays and small cafés, and the starry night sky is excellent. It is about 16 km from Kaza and is often combined with Hikkim and Komic in a 'three-village loop.'
