Detailed Sightseeing

Sangla :

  • Rakcham Walk - A signature walk of the valley, this route was once used regularly by the villagers from Batseri to go to Rakcham. It is a fascinating walk through a wide variety of flora. If the trek is done before June, one also gets to cross two tails of glaciers coming from the top to meet the frisky Baspa. Takes about about 4 hours

  • Walk to Sangla Village - A walk along the Baspa River offering stunning views of the valley, overlooking Himalayan peaks and Baspa River. Can visit Trout Breeding Farm enroute.

  • Chitkul - Indo Tibetan Border Checkpost - Chitkul is the Last village on the old Hindustan-Tibet trade route. A km walk would lead one to the Indo tibetan Check post. The panorama of Chitkul is most stunning with imposing close range Himalayan views. Just a cup of tea admiring views and surroundings could be nothing short of an experience.
