Sangla Valley · Kalpa · Kinnaur Kailash · Natural Shivling
Kinnaur Kailash (6,050 m) towers above the Sutlej in Himachal's Kinnaur district, crowned by a 79-ft natural granite Shivling that seems to change colour with the moving sun. The road in threads through the breathtaking Sangla and Baspa valleys, past Chitkul — the last village before the border. Our 5-day trip from Dehradun pairs the views of Kalpa with the calm of high-altitude Kinnaur.
