|
| Himachal Pradesh is the ideal
place to enjoy both winter and summer sports all through the
year. It literally means the " Land of snow "
but can also be refered to as the '' Land of Gods ".
It enjoys a unique position in the Indian Himalayas. Nature
here is both sublime and beautiful , rugged and harsh , from
the green meadows to the fertile valleys of Kangra and Kullu
to the barren valleys of Lahoul and Spiti on
whose rocky slopes not even a blade of grass grows.
Kinnaur, the land of fairy tales and fantasies, has a spectacular
terrain of lush green valleys, orchards, vineyards snow-clad
peaks and cold desert mountains. The border district of Himachal
Pradesh, Kinnaur is also rich in flora & fauna and its culture
and language is different from other parts of the state. Kinnaur,
the tribal district of Himachal Pradesh, is about 250 km away
from Shimla, the capital of Himachal Pradesh and is situated
on the national Highway No. 22 (Hindustan Tibet Road).
The landscape of the area varies from the lush green orchards
of the scenic Sangla Valley to the stark magnificence of the
Hangrang valley. The massive snow clad ranges that provide a
regal dignity to the scene are dominated by the peak of Kinner
Kailash, at the lap of which is located Hotel Kinner Kailash.
Kalpa is one of the biggest and beautiful villages of Kinnaur
district.
This is a wonderful trek in Kinnaur circuits The revered Kinnaur
Kailash mountain. Kinnaur was forbidden to trekkers till a few
years ago consequently these trails have been less used and
over explored last about two centuries ago.
The Kinnaur Kailash Range borders the Disctrict of Kinnaur in
the south and is dominated by the Kinnaur Kailash (6349 Mts)
and Jonkarden (6473 Mts) peaks. The only pass on this trek is
the Charang La at an awesome altitude of 5300 Mts above sea
level. The trek is challenging and also rewarding for experienced
trekkers. |
