Kinnaur District · Himachal Pradesh
Eleven extraordinary villages, three distinct valleys, and one unforgettable district. From apple-scented Sangla to India's last village at Chitkul.
Sangla, Rakcham, Chitkul — the classic Kinnaur route. Apple orchards, turquoise river, kath-kuni architecture.
Kalpa, Reckong Peo, Moorang — facing Kinner Kailash, the sacred peak revered by Hindus and Buddhists alike.
Nako, Pooh, Ribba — desert-like terrain, ancient monasteries, and a landscape that echoes Ladakh and Spiti.
