| Hi! Most places in Kaza cost less than that,for 500 Rs you can get a room with Tv,carpet table chairs and a good bathroom with shower and of course hot water. |

| Hi! People should not be fooled by some smokescreen. This so called non profit organization is very much a profit one,and in the villages they created many more problems than they solved.Booking for homestays is hardly necessary. Just go,and in most villages somebody will put you up,average cost being 300 Rs per day everything included,can be a bit less or a bit more. Don't worry,and don't contribute to make the locals more commercial than they are,already. ![]() |

| Member | Hi, I recently inquired about homestays in Spiti. I am not quite aware of this region but was informed that homestay would not be available in the month of January because temperatures go down to -25C. Are there any similar locations (little towns or villages) in that region with operational roads? i dont really mind low temperatures and would prefer either a home stay but if theres no option i dont mind settling for a hotel. Havent been in snow before but am not fussy about it. However what are the things I need to worry about in such conditions (-25C)? Will a camcorder work? How do i book my journey out on the way back?? |

| Hi! In every village you can reach there will be options to stay with people. Few days back Kaza was easily reachable from Kinnaur,and there was no snow from Tabo downwards.Even the road to Losar had just be reopened. The Pin valley road was open until Sagnam and that's a place where you can homestay,like Kaza itself. Perhaps the high villages on the plateau above Kaza are not reachable now,and it would be very cold anyway.To go back to Kinnaur you can take a bus or book a jeep at the taxi union. No idea about camcorders. For those temperatures you need very warm clothes and shoes,down jacket a must. |
