Sangla Valley Travel Guide: Top Things To Do
Despite being a small village, there are a number of places to see and activities to do in Sangla Valley.
Kamru Fort
A centuries-old fort is one of the top things to do in Sangla valley. Located on a hilltop just a little outside of the village, Kamru Fort is a pleasant surprise for photography lovers. Kamru Fort houses the famous Kamakshi Devi Temple, and the main fort is rumored to have 33000 gods. The entry to the main fort is not allowed for tourists, only the main priests of the temple can go inside. Although, you can visit the Kamakshi Devi temple, and the priest will assist you with that. It is a nice 20-30 mins from the cars drop off area towards the hilltop. It is one of the most photographed places in Sangla Valley, and the wonderful wooden exteriors will produce amazing pictures.
Bering Nag Temple
A temple dedicated to the God of Snakes – Lord Jagas, Bering Nag Temple is another top thing to do in Sangla Valley. The temple flaunts intricate woodwork like the Kamru Fort. It also makes up for stunning pictures with gorgeous mountains in the backdrop. The temple has some influence of Buddism and the Buddhist bells are also present here. I would recommend clicking pictures of the bells.
Baspa River
The entire Sangla Valley lights up with the musical sound of the Baspa river flowing at the base of the valley. Not yet commercialized like the Beas River in Manali, Baspa river is the perfect place to reconnect with nature. Sitting on the rocks on the river bed with the high pace of water flow will be an ever-lasting experience. The area is still not developed and hence there’s no direct way to reach the river. After crossing the gorgeous bridge, you might have to step down on huge rocks to reach the river. For those afraid of water, I recommend enjoying the river bed from the bridge. There is no facility of tea or snacks, so you should keep your own if you wish to spend more time here.
Chitkul Village
The last village on Indian territory bordering Tibet, China is another one of the top places to visit around Sangla Valley. Nearly 1.5 hours journey by road will take you to Chitkul village. Snow-capped mountains, the Baspa river flowing till here makes it a picture perfect village. The last restaurant of India is the most photographed location from Chitkul. When in Sangla valley, don’t miss the nearby Chitkul village in a day trip.
