The journey

Leave the busy city behind on a road journey that ascends from Delhi into the Kinnaur mountains. After an overnight Volvo bus ride to Shimla, switch to a tempo traveller and wind through pine-clad hills, apple orchards, and the deep gorges of the Sutlej and Baspa valleys via Kufri, Narkanda, Rampur, Sangla, and Rakcham.

Your destination is Chitkul, the last inhabited village near the Indo-Tibet border. Spend time relaxing along the banks of the Baspa River, visit the serene Kagyupa Temple, and sample Kinnauri dishes at Hindustan Ka Aakhri Dhaba before making the scenic return journey to Delhi.
