Plz help me for Shimla>Kalpa>Sarahan>Sangla>Ch itkul trip

Hello AvidTrekker & other members

Was reading the post on Simla kalpa Srahan sangla chitkul trip.. http://www.indiamike.com/india/himachal-pradesh-f29/plz-help-me-for-shimla-kalpa-srahan-sangla-chh-itkul-trip-t24419/

Have few questions on that

• In your post you have asked 1 full day on Sarahan? Is Sarahan good for one entire day of stay? What do we do for one day their?
• Anything special / unique about bhimkali temple?
• Why is their is no Sangla stay? Is it no good or simply Chitkul or Rakcham are better?
• Is stay required at kalpa? Considering can do Recong Peo and kalpa both in one day?? What else we can do their?
• Do the Circuit house /PWD people accept booking on the phone?

I am doing a 7 days/ 6 nites from Simla to Simla and will do this by a bike / car.

• Sunday: Simla - Kalpa - 1 nite
• Monday: Kalpa - Recong Peo - Kalpa- 1 nite
• Tuesday: Kalpa - Sangla- Chitkul - 1 nite
• Wednesday: Chitkul -around - Chitkul -1 nite
• Thursday: Chitkul - Sarahan 1 nite
• Friday: Sarahan - Narkanda 1 nite
• Saturday: Narkanda - Simla- Kalka Evening.

Is it alright to do in the time mentioned? Are the places ok? IS the order ok? Do i need to add or delete some locations /days considering that I want to see/do the following on the simla - sangla valley route.

• some cool hill station, lazy villages /towns with great views
• some exotic landscapes or long green pastures enroute
• Angling / fishing locations
• Swimming in the waterfalls / river streams
• Follow the river alongside the road
• see a deep valley with curvy roads around.
• See a buddhist monastery
• See snow
• some adventure sports
• Homestays

Appreciate if you can throw some light on this.

Cheers

i did this journey in april 2008. You will get answers to most of your questions.

Hi Somnath,
Have you arranged for car/jeep? can you give me a few contact no. I am planning take a similar route in Oct.
Also please suggest a few hotels.

@suddhshelly ...

For cabs .. car hire for 7 days

Bargain hard as usual

Dada, would not you like to stay at Chitkul? we were there 10-11 years ago .. no staying arrangements were then, but loved the lonely village so much. Now there are few staying options, you know.

Great information
thank you
