Sangla Valley
सांगला
A high mountain valley carved by the Baspa River, where snowy peaks, pine forests, apple orchards and wooden villages alternate. It is widely called the most beautiful valley in Kinnaur.
Sangla Valley, also known as the Baspa Valley, stretches east from Karcham to the Sino-Indian border. Sangla town, at the center of the valley at about 2,700 m, has guesthouses, camps and a trout farm. Hikes from the area reach Kamru Fort, the Batseri wooden-built village and riverside meadows. In autumn, you can also see saffron fields. From Kalpa, a hired car takes about 1.5 hours via the steep Karcham–Sangla road. Most travelers use Sangla or Rakchham as a base to explore Chitkul.
