Exploring Sangla Valley

If a landscape had the powers of casting spells, then the Sangla valley would be a magician extraordinaire.

Sangla Valley, also known as the Baspa Valley, is located in the greater Himalayan Range. It extends from Karchham to Chitkul and beyond, with Chitkul being the last village on the Indo-Tibetan border. The Baspa River flows through the valley, with glacial streams rich in trout. Surrounded by lush, forested slopes of cedar and pine, the valley abounds in orchards of apple, apricot and walnut.

The word ‘Sangla’ in Kinnauri language means a ‘Pass of Light’. Sangla travel guides are full of references to the mesmerizing sceneries and picturesque spots.
