The Indian Army inaugurated a new tourist facility in Namgya, Himachal Pradesh's Spiti Valley, on January 20. Dedicated by Lieutenant General D.G. Misra, the facility aims to promote border tourism and enhance traveler convenience in the Shipki La sector.

The opening follows the recent accessibility of the Shipki La pass for tourists and is designed to facilitate safe visitor movement in the region. The facility offers amenities, refreshments, and resting arrangements for travelers heading to Shipki La.

Earnings from the facility will fund online coaching for students from nearby villages. This initiative reflects the Army's commitment to community welfare and local livelihoods while fostering military-civil synergy. Namgya is set to become a significant transit point along the Sutlej Valley, contributing to the area's socio-economic growth.
