We have all heard about Lahaul and Spiti but this time ditch the two and visit Kinnaur. India’s Himachal Pradesh state has 12 administrative districts, Kinnaur is one of them. The district has the second-lowest population density in Himachal Pradesh. The Slopes here are dotted with thick mountain forests, orchards, fields, and picturesque hamlets. Here are some of the interesting things to do in Kinnaur
Trek to Lamkhaga
Lamkhaga Pass, connecting the Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh to Harshil in Uttrakhand, is one of the toughest passes in the world. The Dhauladhar Range, on the Indo-China Border, links Garhwal with Himachal Pradesh. The altitude from sea level is 17320 ft. which is enough information for you to imagine the view.
Try Fishing At River Baspa
Near the Indo-Chinese border rises the flowing Baspa river which forms the most scenic Himalayan valley, the Baspa Valley. The clear waters of the Baspa river make fishing here a memorable experience. Tourists take permission from the locals for trout fishing during the day. Between the months of April and October is when trout fishing is done.
