Walking distance from Apple pie - Water steam Rakcham, beautiful location
Proceed to Chitkul - We came across 2 water steams on our way, a Beautiful view & location.
Chitkul (Altitude - 11320 ft)- way to chitkul road condition is quite good, had heard from lot of people the road condition is not good, I found it to be good, It is not necessary, you don’t have to have Suv type car to reach chitkul, you can even reach in swift dezire too at a slower speed.
Chitkul Dhaba - Can get some tea & rajma chawal - Rs 100 per person, whatever you want to eat, you can eat. View from Dhaba - Majestic view of Baspa river
After dhaba we went to see a closer view of the Baspa river. Even on 24th, we could feel the cold wind, you can’t stand without woollen wear. During wintertime, it would be way colder. The view is unforgettable, You can get the pictures clicked near the baspa river. I noticed there were camps, which charge around - Rs 1500 per camp double occupancy. Below are the details of one of the camp at chitkul.
Yog’s bro’s Camp & Adventure - 9459440889 / 8988201936

In Rakcham, you will find a network of all prime mobile operators. After the river view, we went to the Rupin River view for Lunch, whom we checked the hotel rates. We enjoyed the Traditional lunch by looking at the view.

After lunch at Rakcham, we proceeded towards Sangla, It is a bigger market as compare to nearby places Rakcham or Chitkul, If you want to buy any daily need products, you will easily get at Sangla. Umbrella, General Groceries, Winter clothes, chemist shops, can find doctor’s clinic too.
While travelling I realised that one can easily spend 3 to 4 days in Sangla. It is way more than beautiful than I expected.
Kamru Fort - After 1 km from Sangla market, we reached the parking of Kamru fort, from there we did 20 min trek to the fort, 5 min before reaching Kamru fort, We noticed Badri Vishal Temple with lord buddha idol, someone told us, palanquin of Lord Badri Vishal has gone to the village. We proceed further to the fort. It is 7 storey fort, not a bigger fort, it is ancient. You can visit from outside, entry to the fort is prohibited. Just outside, you will see a temple dedicated to Goddess Kamakhya, the main temple in Guwahati, which is one of shaktipeeth 51.
When we were returning downhill from the fort, we noticed the palanquin of Lord Badri Vishal has returned, after paying obeisance.
We proceed to Kalpa (Karcham to Kalpa - 33 km) (Sangla to Karcham - 18 km) (just before 10 km Kalpa Reckong Peo)
We stayed here at Hotel Kinner villa in Kalpa. This is a nice property, we got a double occupancy room at Rs 2000 plus taxes. So whenever we stay tariff it means without breakfast. We also saw the full moon on 24th June, view was mesmerizing, if you are visiting during full moon to kalpa, should not miss this view. If the sky is clear then only you can see this view.
Information about the next episode ( EP - 4): you will see the journey from Local sightseeing in Kalpa.
