In the Kinnaur area of Himachal Pradesh, between the towns of Sangla and Chitkul, sits the breathtakingly picturesque village of Rakcham. Starting from here are several fantastic routes and trips. You may learn more about authentic Kinnauri culture by staying in a homestay in this area, which is filled with wooden cottages and temples.

Sangla Valley lacks a railroad station and an airport. Regular HRTC and private buses travel to Sangla from Delhi, Chandigarh, and Shimla. You can also drive or hire a cab.

It is the ideal place to stay for artists and nature enthusiasts, with the enchanted Baspa valley in the south and Shoshala peak in the north.
