Reckong Peo
रिकांग पिओ
Kinnaur's district seat and transport hub, with a market, a Buddhist temple and viewpoints of snowy peaks, and the place to obtain border permits.
Reckong Peo stands at about 2,290 metres above sea level and serves as the bus hub for Kalpa, Sangla and Spiti. The town has bank ATMs, pharmacies and a market where you can stock up on supplies. The Mahabodhi Temple has a large Buddha statue, and from there you can see Kinner Kailash in the distance. Foreign visitors who want to continue north to Spiti via Nako must obtain an inner line permit from the district office. Applications on weekdays are processed faster.
