Sangla Village Heritage Walk

Sangla 4.5 3 hrs Easy Apr–Oct

Overview

Sangla village in the Baspa Valley is a cluster of wooden houses, apple orchards, and the ancient Kamru Fort. A local guide walks you through narrow lanes, explains Kinnauri building techniques (interlocking wood, no nails), and climbs to Kamru for valley views. In October, apple harvest adds colour and the chance to taste fresh juice.
