🍎 1. Sangla Valley
“The drive into Sangla felt like entering a hidden valley of dreams — lush green slopes, wooden houses, and the constant hum of the Baspa River. Every corner looked like a painting.”
🏰 2. Kamru Fort
“Just above Sangla, I climbed up to Kamru Fort — a 900-year-old structure guarded by deodar trees and ancient legends. The view from the top? Unreal.”
🏞️ 3. Chitkul – The Last Village of India
“They say this is the last village before the Indo-Tibetan border — and it felt like the edge of the world. Snow-draped peaks, icy river water, and wooden homes that whisper stories.”
🧘 4. Kalpa
“Woke up to the mighty Kinnaur Kailash range glowing in golden sunrise. Kalpa is poetry — apple orchards, pine-scented air, and temples that echo with silence.”
🏔️ 5. Suicide Point (near Kalpa)
“Don’t let the name scare you — the views here are absolutely breathtaking. Steep cliffs and infinite mountains make you feel tiny and alive.”
🏯 6. Reckong Peo
“The district headquarters may not sound thrilling, but the monastery here and the views of Kinner Kailash make it worth a stop. Also, best spot for local eats and stocking up.”
🧗 7. Nako Village & Lake (if heading toward Spiti)
“A peaceful lake at 12,000 ft, surrounded by prayer flags and stone houses — Nako was serene and almost mystical. Perfect transition into the stark beauty of Spiti.”
