About Kinnaur
Kinnaur follows the Sutlej up towards Tibet. The Baspa valley at Sangla is one of the most beautiful in the Himalaya, and Chitkul at its head is the last village on the old road to Tibet. Kalpa looks straight across at the Kinnaur Kailash range.
It is apple country: in September and October the orchards are heavy with fruit and the whole valley turns gold.
