Food in Spiti

Spiti grows barley, peas and potatoes in short summers, and much of its food comes from the Tibetan kitchen: noodle soups, dumplings and steamed breads, with salty butter tea against the cold. Fresh produce travels a long way to reach the valley, especially in winter, so menus follow what is in season and what the road has brought.

Ask the kitchen what is cooking that day. If you have a special diet, tell the villa when you book.
