KINNAUR
Time in and time out, Kinnaur, along with Spiti and Lahaul, remained a forbidden land. It was completely cut from the rest of the world, and only a few people – officials, mountaineers and missionaries – were allowed visit the forbidden world. Today, however, common people are allowed to visit Kinnaur so that they can have a firsthand experience of the land of fairy tales. Indeed, Kinnaur is not less than a paradise, for it has several spectacularly beautiful attractions – orchards of apples, apricots and peaches, rich in flora and fauna, vineyards, snow clad peaks, etc. Kalpa is one of the major villages of Kinnaur. It has serene and breathtaking view all around, especially in the morning when one can see the rising sun kissing the snow-capped peaks with crimson and golden light
KALPA
Situated at the height of 2758 m above the sea level and 110 km from Sarahan, Kalpa is a beautiful and main village of Kinnaur.
