Painting the Worlds Highest Motorable Villages at Spiti Valley

AkzoNobel India announced the completion of a Let’s Colour initiative in three remote villages in Himachal Pradesh that literally enhanced the face of these villages.

The unique “Let’s Colour” project was staged in Komic (the world’s highest village reachable by a motorable road); Hikkim (home to the world’s highest post office); and Langza (where marine fossils
older than the Himalayas have been found).

Situated more than 15,000 feet above sea level (around the same height as the base of MountEverest), the villagers – who are mostly Tibetan Buddhists – endure winter temperatures that regularly dip below -25°C, necessitating the hassle of annual repainting. This now stands changed as
20 painters used more than 10,500 liters of the company’s Dulux Weathershield range of exterior emulsions and enamels to ensure longer lasting all-weather protection for the tribal communities.

The three villages located in the Spiti Valley - a high-altitude cold desert region of the Himalayas in Himachal Pradesh – happened over the course of four months. The revitalization that covered a significant 300,000 sq. feet area included more than 100 homes, three schools, three
monasteries, 8 cafés and 12 homestays.

The activity also revived a number of buildings integral to the cultural identity of the region, such as the 14th-century Tangyud monastery (one of the oldest in the world) and the Komic museum.

A local artist also painted a series of purposeful murals designed to help boost tourism by creating a more vibrant and inviting environment. The
