Two sides of our world.

❄️

Higher up, the Buddha looks out over the valley. Everything below moves as it always had, slow, steady, uninterrupted.
Sakya Abode sits just beside the gompa, where the village thins out into snowfields and open ground. You can still walk up past whitewashed walls and prayer flags, the air getting sharper, quieter.
From here, Kaza feels distant. The valley opens wide, the river cutting through it, fields and houses spread out below.”

Wooden floors and ceilings, the bukhari quietly doing its work through the day. By evening, the space feels held: heat lingering in the walls, in the rugs, in the air.
You take your shoes off, sit down for a bit. Someone brings tea. It stays on the table longer than expected.
Outside, the valley carries on in the cold. Inside, things move slower. Softer.
The warmth here has a way of keeping you in.

From the windows at Sakya Homestay, the valley opens without effort.
The Spiti river moves steadily below, sometimes a quiet line, sometimes catching the light just enough to draw your eye. Beyond it, the land rises into wide, open slopes, and then into peaks that have been here long before any names we’ve given them.

It’s all just there,sky, rock, river, holding its own rhythm.
Mornings come in gently. Light shifts across the valley, shadows stretch and disappear, and the same view slowly becomes something else by afternoon.

Sakya Abode Restaurant and Lounge.
A spacious room where our guests come to eat and end up spending time.
We serve thukpa, momos, and simple, home-style meals. Food that feels right according to weather.
There’s a bukhari in the corner, low seating around it, and shelves with books: Tibetan Buddhism, fossils, old photos, bits left behind by travellers.
Big windows open out to the mountains. Most days, you’ll find someone sitting a little longer than they planned.

Zara.
That’s what we call lunch here. the name just stayed, because this is what lunch has always looked like.
A brass plate of zarve tsampa: coarse, hearty, made from roasted barley. Over time, the meal itself became the name.

Around it, white bowls filled with comfort: paksel mirku (rich with butter, a hint of sweetness, an old favourite), deathuk rice broth, semthuk barley broth, along with thuk and kew.

And the small bowls that bring it all alive: ki chutneys of mint, curd, garlic, and wild coriander seed.
Just a table like this, shared, has always been enough to carry us through a Spiti winter.

Winter slows everything down here.

Snow buries the roads. Kaza shrinks to a few streets. Its perfect for slow travel, monastery walks, or just watching those peaks catch first light.

Spiti’s is something else in the quiet months.

Homestay kitchen and dining.

Tibetan painted woodwork, brass cookware, low seating tables. Family cooks thukpa, momos, and daily meals here.

Delicious home cooked food, served family style.

Snowy peaks out your window. Wood ceiling above. Thick rug underfoot.

Our new wing feels like the best room in a Spiti home, just with bigger windows and more space to unpack.

Snowy outside? Warm soup inside.

Fresh thukpa from our brass pots, momos steaming, recipes grandma taught us.

In freezing winters, our kitchen stays warm.
