Wonders on the the Trans Himalayan voyage through Shimla – Kinnaur – Spiti Valley
It’s not the destination but the journey what makes life so interesting. A road trip to Spiti Valley is sort of like that only. The travel treasures that you get to witness to reach Spiti valley are fascinating. And one such place that we instantly fell in love with was ‘Kalpa’.
Kalpa, is an alluring village of Kinnaur. Situated at an altitude of 2758m, Kalpa offers unbelievable views of the majestic Kinner Kailash range. The sunrise and sunset are mind blowing here. When the clouds play hide and seek with the mountains during the day, it’s a sight to watch!!!
Reaching Kalpa was the most difficult part of our journey due to bad road conditions. We were enjoying the monster faces and scenic beauty until the bad patches began disturbing us. Once we crossed Sungra the patches transformed into a fully fledged pebbly road. It was a stretch of good 40 kms starting from Wangtu and continuing till Karcham. Once you reach Karcham, the roads are divided into two – the one going straight leads to Rekong Peo and the other one to Sangla. We purposely took the one going to Kalpa.
Get a little more cozy at Roghi
Situated just 3 kms away from Kalpa, is this beautiful scenic village called Roghi. You would love to explore the treacherous road, the famous suicide point and serene views.
Happy Exploring!! with Untraveled Routes

Fantastic mountain scenes near the village of Roghi! But I would stay away from the suicide view suffering from severe acrophobia

Thank you Peter💛💛💛it’s really a beautiful place. The suicide point is kinda intimidating, even I couldn’t get really close, it was scary to even look down. 🙁🙁

Excellent! Next week I’ll be going on a short trip to a part of Oregon, US that I have never seen – ghost towns, fossils, tranches, and not much else. Maybe not the most exotic place but still it will be good.
