The content creator (@rishabhtheexplorer) shared a video of Reckong Peo, where pedestrians are walking along a wet street with umbrellas as mist covers the surrounding hills. Towering snow-capped Himalayan peaks rise in the background, creating a striking view. The creator also offers a glimpse of the town’s architecture, with small buildings featuring distinctive red roofs spread across the mountainside. The quiet streets and misty surroundings capture the everyday charm of this Himalayan destination.
Along with sharing the video, the creator explained how travellers can reach Reckong Peo. Located around 570 to 600 km from Delhi, the town can be reached by road. Direct overnight HRTC buses operate between Delhi and Reckong Peo. Travellers can also take a bus to Shimla and board a connecting service from there.
The creator also encouraged travellers planning a Kinnaur road trip covering destinations such as Kalpa, Sangla and Chitkul to include Reckong Peo in their itinerary. Instead of treating it as a transit point, visitors can spend some time exploring the town and taking in its mountain views.
