however, It is not exactly going easy to work on the old post office, which since 1983 has been moderated by the postmaster Rinchen Chhering.

He has two postmænd employed, as each day takes the 46-kilometer-long stroll through the arduous mountain terrain to deliver and collect mail in the town of Kaza, which is considered as the capital of the Spiti Valley, which has bus services. From Kaza the entry is sent with the bus forward, while the entry to the Hikkim is carried back to the foot.

Four out of the five cities in the Spiti Valley is a small populated, and the telephone line connection is certainly not something to boast of, while the internet connection was not available.

Thus consists of the village of Komic which is 4587 metres above sea level, of just 13 houses, a school for five pupils and an ancient monastery.

the Villagers in the Spiti Valley is because of the location basically isolated from the rest of the world population year-round, but when it snows - which it does more than six months of the year - will be the isolation even more extreme, as it becomes virtually impossible to move around in the area.
