WELCOME TO THE ANOTHER BLOG OF
TRAVEL ROUND BY DHRUV
Kalpa is situated at an altitude of 2759 m from the sea level, on the old Hindustan Tibet Road at a distance of 260 km from Shimla. Earlier it was the District Headquarter of Kinnaur. It is 14 kms. and half an hour’s drive from District Headquarter Reckong Peo. It has all the characteristics of a heritage village. Kalpa came into prominence in the wake of British Governor General Lord Dalhousie’s visit in th 19th century. The Narayan-Nagani temple is an exemplary of local craftmanship. There are couple of Buddhist monasteries at Kalpa including the Hu-Bu-Ian-Car Gompa, said to be founded it by Rinchensang-Po (950-1055AD).Kalpa is dramatically located close to the foot of 6050 meter high Kinner Kailash. This is the legendary winter home of Shiva. This is a spectacular sight early in the morning as the rising sun touches the snowy peaks with crimson and gold light.There is also a temple which is devoted to goddess Chandika, which is located at a distance of 11 kms from Kalpa. This is one of the best-hidden places in Himachal to explore.Alongside that, there is a myriad of apple orchards where the apples are the main crops to sell for the locals. From here one can enjoy the sight of the Kailash shivling which changes its color throughout the day.
