Hikkim is situated at an altitude of approximately 4,572 meters (14,567 feet) above sea level, making it one of the highest inhabited places in the world.
Visiting Hikkim offers a unique opportunity to send postcards or letters from the world's highest post office. The post office is a vital link to the outside world for the local residents and serves as a point of interest for tourists.
To reach Hikkim, you typically start from Kaza, the main town in Spiti Valley, and it's a short drive from there. The journey to Hikkim can be challenging due to the high altitude, rough terrain, and unpredictable weather conditions, so it's essential to be well-prepared for your trip. Additionally, since the village is at high altitude, it's crucial to acclimatize properly to avoid altitude sickness.
Apart from the post office, Hikkim offers beautiful views of the surrounding mountains and a glimpse into the traditional lifestyle of the people living in this remote region. While in the Spiti Valley, you can explore other nearby villages, monasteries, and natural attractions that make this region a unique and rewarding destination for travelers interested in off-the-beaten-path adventures.
