between man and God. Kinnaur is a land like no other, a realm as strikingly varied as the landscape you will encounter on the way. Much of the excitement of visiting Kalpa lies in the adventurous journey to get here. The scenery changes dramatically from gorgeous valleys, green orchards and forests of cedar, chilgoza-pine and bhojpatra trees, to the starkness of the mountains, high altitude deserts and stunning gorges. The rugged mountains rise up dramatically from the riverbanks. The Sutlej carves a deep chasm through the Great Himalayas as it rages through Kinnaur, to meet the quiet Baspa at Karcham. This is one of the most breathtakingly vertiginous drives you will face. The road is literally carved through the rock face with a sheer drop down to the turbulent Sutlej. Once you reach the town of Kalpa, you are rewarded by the most fantastic views of the Kinner-Kailash, of the 70 m Shivling that juts out of the peak and the striking sunrises and sunsets that light up the mountains. Chilgoza (Pine Nuts) are grown here in abundance. Be sure to take some home with you. How to get there by AirShimla''s Jubbar Bhatti airport is the closest at 260 kms.
