Overview

An unforgettable Himachal tour package designed for travelers seeking pristine valleys, dramatic mountain views and authentic Kinnauri culture. This Himachal Adventure tour package (ideal as a Himachal Adventure package or a 5 and 6 Himachal Adventure tour package variant) covers the scenic Sangla Valley, the remote village of Chitkul — the last inhabited village near the Indo-Tibet border — and the tranquil hamlet of Kalpa. Expect scenic drives along the Sutlej and Baspa rivers, easy hikes, village walks, and panoramic views of Kinnaur Kailash and surrounding Himalayan peaks.

Best for: nature lovers, photographers, couples, small groups, and moderate-level trekkers. Travel window: April to November (winter roads may be restricted).

Itinerary

Day1

Arrival in Shimla — Welcome to Himachal

Arrive at Shimla (by road/train/air). Meet-and-greet and transfer to your hotel. Spend the day acclimatizing and exploring the colonial charm of Shimla: Mall Road, Christ Church, and the Ridge. Evening briefing about the Kinnaur Scenic Road Trip and prepare for an early departure tomorrow.

Tip: Keep warm clothing handy; mountain evenings can be chilly even in summer.

Day2

Scenic Drive: Shimla to Sangla — Enter Kinnaur Valley

Early morning departure from Shimla. Drive deep into Kinnaur via Narkanda, Rampur and the scenic Sutlej valley. Enjoy dramatic landscapes, apple orchards and river-side views en route. Arrive in Sangla Valley in the late afternoon. Short walk along the Baspa River and visit Kamru Fort (if time permits).

Travel note: Road stretches are mountainous — expect photo stops and short breaks. Carry water and light snacks for the drive.

Day3

Sangla to Chitkul — Experience the Last Village

Morning exploration of Sangla: village walk, Baspa valley viewpoints and local markets. After lunch, take the scenic drive to Chitkul, the last inhabited village on the old Indo-Tibetan trade route. Stroll through the village, walk by the Baspa river and enjoy unobstructed views of the surrounding peaks. Evening free to relax in the peaceful village.

Highlight: Chitkul offers a serene, offbeat experience — mobile connectivity is limited; use this time to unplug.

Day4

Chitkul to Kalpa via Reckong Peo — Kinnaur Kailash Views

After sunrise views in Chitkul, depart for Kalpa. En route, stop at Reckong Peo — the administrative town with spectacular viewpoints of Kinnaur Kailash. Visit local monasteries and markets. Arrive in Kalpa by evening; enjoy sunset views over the apple orchards and the towering Kailash range.

Tip: Carry binoculars and a camera for the best mountain panoramas.

Day5

Full Day in Kalpa — Culture, Views & Short Treks

Full day to explore Kalpa and nearby hamlets. Visit iconic viewpoints (including Suicide Point for panoramic vistas), local temples, and traditional Kinnauri villages like Roghi. Optional short hikes or a guided village walk to learn about Kinnauri culture and architecture.

Important: Altitude is moderate but mornings can be cold — dress in layers. This day is perfect for photographers and those seeking a relaxed cultural immersion.

Day6

Return to Shimla — Departure

After breakfast, begin the journey back to Shimla. Enjoy the scenic drive through the Kinnaur and Sutlej valleys with final photo stops. Arrival in Shimla by late afternoon/early evening. Drop at the railway station/airport/hotel for onward travel.

Note: If you have time, schedule a late evening departure. Otherwise, plan an additional night in Shimla to avoid rushed travel.
