About Us
The Story Behind AMIDA
Spiti has a silence that speaks. When we first arrived in Rangrik, standing across from the ancient Key Monastery, we felt something shift within us. It was more than just the beauty of the landscape—it was a stillness, a depth, a sense of being held by the mountains. That feeling stayed with us. And that’s why we built AMIDA—not just as a place to stay, but as a place to belong.
AMIDA is a boutique, family-owned retreat with just 10 exclusive cottages, each one thoughtfully crafted to reflect the warmth and authenticity of traditional Spitian homes. Mud walls, wooden beams, handmade details—all designed in harmony with the land. But comfort was just as important to us. Even in the coldest winters, AMIDA offers heated floors, warm beds, and round-the-clock hot water. You’ll feel held, even when the world outside is frozen.
Every window at AMIDA opens to a view that words can’t capture—the snow-dusted Key Monastery resting quietly on the opposite hill. A sacred symbol of strength, history, and peace. It’s not just a view—it’s a daily reminder to slow down and simply be.
This land has a rhythm of its own. Life in Spiti is raw, real, and deeply connected to nature. Through AMIDA, we wanted to honour that—to give guests a chance to truly experience the culture, the stories, and the silence that makes this valley so special. From the food we serve to the design of every corner, everything here is inspired by the spirit of Spiti.
More than a hotel, AMIDA is our family’s love letter to this place. A space where luxury meets meaning. Where every stay becomes a memory. Where you arrive as a traveler—but leave feeling lighter, quieter, and somehow, more whole.
Welcome to our world. Welcome to AMIDA.

The Spirit & Culture of Spiti
Raw. Sacred. Timeless.
The Spiti Valley is not just a destination — it’s a way of life. Shaped by centuries of Tibetan Buddhist tradition, ancient wisdom, and high-altitude resilience, the culture here breathes through every monastery, prayer flag, and passing smile.
At AMIDA, we honor this spirit by immersing you in the rhythms of local life — with architecture inspired by traditional homes, curated experiences that celebrate local crafts and customs, and a deep respect for the land and its people.
Here, culture is not observed — it is lived.

At AMIDA, sustainability is not an add-on — it is the foundation.
