After venturing for an hour and having breakfast at Chitkul, I kicked off to Kalpa, Himachal Pradesh. Kalpa is a small town located at Sutlej river valley and a distance of 75 kms from Chitkul, Himachal Pradesh. Roads to Kalpa are narrow and in a good condition. Kalpa is just located above Reckong Peo at a distacne of 5kms.
Ride to Kalpa was short and offered beautiful view of Kinner-Kailash mountain range. It was around 1pm when I reached Kalpa. My plan was to camp at Kalpa, which however did not happened and finally checked in to the hotel with great view of Kinner-Kailash. Kalpa has plenty of options for accommodation and are pocket friendly. After resting and having my lunch at hotel, I decided to roam around and explore Kalpa. The very first thing I noticed was old traditional architecture made of wood and stones. There are few temples and a monastery in town. I did not ventured much in town and came back to my hotel for rest and other reason was to sit and enjoy the view of mighty Himalayas standing tall in front of me. It was a peaceful and calm day spent at Kalpa and prepared for my next stop Tabo.
