Kalpa Tourism

Kalpa, the main village of Kinnaur, in the Sutlej River Valley is a place to remember and cherish. Known for its many beautiful temples and monasteries, this town is also famed for its apple orchards. The majestic Kinnaur-Kailash range peeking from across the Sutlej River makes for a blissful break.

An early morning walk through this paradise will give you a chance to experience magic and mystery with the sunrise. The pinkish hue on the peaks that slowly gets tinted with the golden glow is a sight to behold. Adorned with rich flora and fauna, this small hamlet is a must visit destination.

- Carry food with you while travelling around the village, since you may not find many eating joints at proper interval.
- Carry heavy woolens if travelling during winter season, weather is extrem (Read More)ely freezing at that time.
- Be prepared for a bumpy ride, as the roads condition is quite poor.

It is better to go by car. Once the apple orchards gets over the road is narrow and dangerous and then comes the dead end.
