11 Fun things to experience in Demul, Spiti Valley

Demul, a small village hidden deep in the mountains of Spiti Valley, With the scarcity of local buses to this village, it is best to hire a cab, come by your own vehicle or hitchhike while enjoying the scenic beauty.

1.At the entrance of Demul village, you’ll be greeted by smiling faces, welcoming you by saying “julley”, which means hello in the local language. You’d be greeted by every villager passing by while strolling through the village. 

2.Fun is an overload in this village with rosy-cheeked children who have a running nose enjoying the donkey ride which can be your once in a lifetime experience, too. Donkeys are also used here to carry heavy loads such as the stones used for construction.
