The Story
Our Initiative
In collaboration with our dear friend Lobzang from Mane Village, in 2018 we opeed a new shop by the name Strictly Spiti (we continue selling products from ou store in the hotel as well). Selling only locally produced handicrafts and products from indigenous crops, the intention behind the store is to encourage the ongoing production of these unique products. In doing so we hope to provide a space to spread the benefits of tourism more widely across the community.
All of our products are sold at a price that is fair for both the producer and the consumer. We are now working with around 200 local producers and the number continues to rise as more people approach us weekly wishing to be a part of this initiative located in the main bazaar in Old Kaza. Be sure to stop by when you're in town.
Sea Buckthorn Juice & Tea
Sea buckthorn is a powerful Himalayan superfruit that grows naturally in the high-altitude valleys of Spiti. The berries are rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids, making them highly valued for their nutritional and medicinal benefits. Traditionally used in herbal medicine, sea buckthorn helps improve immunity, support heart health, and maintain healthy skin. Its high vitamin content also makes it popular for boosting energy and overall wellness. Sea buckthorn products available at our shop include juices, teas, and dried berries sourced directly from local producers.
