Sangla valley
|
Baspa
valley ( also known as Sangla valley ) is one
of the most beautiful valleys of Kinnaur. camping
starts from Karcham ( 1,899 meters ) where the
Baspa river coming from the east joins the Satluj.
The road for Baspa valley branches from the
Hindustan Tibet road at the river junction and
after turning south crosses the Satluj over
a bridge to reach Karacham. The valley open
up beyond Sangla and is full of wooded slopes
as far as Chitkul ( 3,435 meters ). Chitkul
is the last inhabited village in the valley
surrounded by green fields and high mountain
peaks. It is like a Fairyland. The quaint little
houses, temples, gompas and the people of Baspa
valley conjure up a perfect image of "Shangri-La".
The beautiful Sangla Valley has to be the highlight
of your Himalayan camping holiday. A mere 30
Km from the Tibetan border, the Sangla Valley
was closed to travellers until 1992 and even
today is quite untouched by civilisation. Situated
at an average height of 2700 m, Sangla Valley
is a place where you can unwind in style as
you wake up in your cosy Swiss style tents to
the chirping of birds. |
Tabo

It
is 47 km. from Kaza. At the right of Spiti river,
is an ancient village named Tabo, flanked on
either side by lofty brown hills and sun burnt,
is the seat of one of the most famous Buddhist
monasteries - Sherlang, Duang, Chamba, Chibbo,
Domlang Gompas, regarded by many as only next
to the Thelong Gompa in Tibet. The 10th Century
Tabo monastery houses more than 60 lamas. Large
number of scriptures and pieces of art, wall
paintings - 'Tankhas' and 'Stucco'. Tabo has
been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
At Banjara Camps shivers of delight await you.
The camp is located at Tabo, where it sometimes
actually feels that time stopped over a 1000
years ago. The Tabo Monastery or Gompa is centuries
old and second in importance only to the Tholing
Monastery in Tibet, in the entire Buddhist Himalayas.
Amidst this barrenness, broken only by the sounds
of mountain rivers crashing over the rocks,
Banjara Camps is a welcome sight, with all the
warmth and caring of home around a bonfire,
music and chatter. |
