Operated by Bike the hills · Komic, Himachal Pradesh

From this road-accessible summit — one of the highest hamlets reachable by vehicle — the trail unspools downhill: rubble and packed dirt, switchbacks that open onto broad bowls, and sudden windows of the Spiti River far below. The route carries you past Langza’s giant Buddha and fossil-strewn slopes, through small Buddhist hamlets where prayer flags lean into the wind, and finally into the larger market town of Kaza.
