Spiti Riverbank: A Rugged Riverside Retreat in Kaza

Nestled along the banks of the turquoise Spiti River, this location offers one of the most iconic high-altitude camping experiences in the Himalayas. Located just a stone’s throw from the heart of Kaza, this spot allows you to experience the raw beauty of the "Middle Land" while staying within reach of the town’s essential supplies and local culture.

The riverbank is vast, providing plenty of flat, stony patches where you can find ample space to pitch your tent and wake up to the sound of the flowing river against a backdrop of stark, snow-dusted mountains.
