Top 10 things to do in Losar Village, Spiti Valley 
  • Visit the Monastery. There is a monastery within the village and its walls are adorned with paintings and prayer wheels around it. The monks here perform daily essential rituals every morning and before sunset.
  • Attend Mani Stone Carving Workshops. Mani Stone carving workshops are held at the monastery for the younger generation because the locals here believe that the younger generation needs to learn this art since they feel there is a rapid loss of culture due to the recent developments in the Valley. 

Mani stones are stone plates or rocks inscribed with mantras as a form of prayer in Tibetan Buddhism. Mani stones are intentionally placed along the roadsides and rivers or placed together to form long walls or cairns, as an offering to spirits. These workshops help one to understand the culture of Spiti at close hands. This is one of the best things to do in Losar Village.
