    The high altitude territory of Spiti Valley is known for it barren landscapes, cold deserts and harsh climate; but the region is equally abundant in its ancient traditions and customs. Their rich heritage can be seen in their monasteries, traditional songs and dances and their vibrant art forms. One such amusing art form, from the high altitude terrains of the valley, is their Zama pottery. The craft of clay pottery, which originated as functional need, slowly took shape of a decorative product. Dorje Angtuk of Langza village is one the few potters who still knows the almost extinct art of Zama pottery.
