Out of the world
Pros:

Tethys Himalayan Den is tucked away in one of the most remote villages of Spiti Valley...while it is just a stone throws away from Chicham Bridge (Asia's Highest suspension bridge) but it is far away from the hustle and bustle of the motorcades...you look into the most magnificent views of the valley and expect Snowfall even in hotter months like june.
All that cold and remoteness is pleasantly eased by the most gracious staff of the place, who are well versed with what is happening in world and everything local. Set amidst the Peas plantation, this is a very well appointed and the resort for discerning

Lovely property at a lovely location
Pros:

The location, the view, the food, the staff... everything was awesome. Specially the night sky at this village is so full of stars. The Milky way is visible on a clear sky.

Cons:

The last 50m to the property has a sharp u-turn, which we were not able to maneuver, but the caretaker sent a staff to help. He drove the car till property. Just a note for self drive people.

Highly highly recommend this place
Pros:

We are doctors from Indore who were returning from Hampta pass trek and at the last camp site all of a sudden decided to travel to Spiti and made our booking with Tethys Den for one night on our way to Kaza . Within 10 minutes I received a call from the owner who guided us to the property . We were extremely tired after spending 4 days and 3 nights at the trek , but were totally amazed by the room we were provided which had glass walls with majestic views outside of the mountains. The room very clean and cosy , well carpeted with a king size bed with comfortable mattress and white sheets . The bathroom was also quite big with plenty of hot water and good quality toiletries.
Our host Mr Faisullah was very warm and provided good info about the place. We were served coffee in the dining area which itself was so beautiful with mattress and floor sitting with plate of fresh plums and oranges on the table. We were instantly energised and stayed in the dining area chatting with other guests till dinner was served. The dinner was also wholesome and very tasty . Mr Faisullah offered different kinds of pickles made from local vegetables.
Overall it was a very good experience. Would definitely recommend this place for stay in Spiti as , it is on a height of 14000 ft with fewer tourists and mad rush of Kaza , a quiet village of Chicham .
Next day we had a booking at Kaza , and we really missed Tethys , wished we had another day there.

Cons:

Can’t think of anything

Superb
Pros:

Tethys Himalayan Den at Chicham, Spiti Valley, offers an fantastic stay. The warm hospitality of owner Mohit and his staff truly sets this place apart. Their attentive service, combined with absolutely breathtaking views and cozy accommodations, makes it a perfect retreat. Highly recommended for an unforgettable Himalayan experience.

Cons:

What would be helpful:
1) More signages for the last mile please :)
2) Also, if you have connections with some good drivers who are extremely pleasant and do these Spiti Tours regularly, please suggest those as well. Especially because a pleasant driver can make a whole lot of a difference in the journey experience, and they are hard to get by.
