Kalpa

An apple village under Kinner Kailash

Kalpa

About Kalpa

Kalpa sits at 9,200 ft directly across the Sutlej from the Kinnaur-Kailash range — a sweep of 6,000 m peaks that turn gold at sunrise. The village itself is a maze of slate-roofed houses and apple terraces with a quiet Narayan-Nagini temple at its centre. It's a slow-travel base for Reckong Peo, Roghi, Pangi village, and the start of the deeper Spiti drive.

Key Highlights

  • Sunrise view of Kinner Kailash from the village
  • Narayan-Nagini temple complex
  • Roghi village & the famous 'Suicide Point' cliff road
  • Walks through apple, chilgoza & apricot orchards
  • Buddhist monastery & cedar forest trails
