Where the Baspa runs turquoise
Sangla Valley
About Sangla Valley
The Sangla Valley follows the Baspa river through dense deodar forests and apple terraces to Chitkul — India's last village before the Tibet frontier. Sangla itself is a riverside basecamp at 8,600 ft with Kamru fort above and the road to Rakcham (8 km on) and Chitkul (22 km on) winding past glacial streams. Trout fishing, Kinnauri shawl weaving, monasteries — and far fewer tourists than Manali.
Key Highlights
- Chitkul — last Indian village (22 km from Sangla)
- Kamru Fort & Kamakhya Devi temple
- Rakcham — riverside meadow village
