We traveled from Delhi to Kalpa in a total of 4 days and then continued to Kaza from there. Our destination on Day 1 was Narkanda, Sarahan on Day 2, Chitkul on Day 3 and Kalpa on Day 4. Details of the bike trip to Kalpa on 4th day of the trip are provided further in this post.

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Before I go on talking about how we traveled from Chitkul to Kalpa via <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/sangla-valley\/\">Sangla<\/a><\/strong>, let me provide little detail on what makes Kalpa so special. To be honest, it is just another small Himalayan village with not much to do. There will be absolute silence all around except for occasional sounds of people talking somewhere, birds chirping and the wind. The natural beauty of the place is really astounding.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But what puts Kalpa on the tourist map is the magnificent view it offers to the Kinner Kailash peaks. You can just sit all day long staring at the mighty mountain in front of you and realize how small we all are in front of them. The Shivling peaks rise up to 20,000 feet (6,000 meters) and are of great importance in Hinduism. See the picture below to know what I mean. The peaks right in front are the sacred Kinner Kailash Peaks.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/kalpa.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-22580 size-full\" title=\"kalpa\" src=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/kalpa.jpg\" alt=\"kalpa\" width=\"800\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/kalpa.jpg 800w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/kalpa-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/kalpa-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/kalpa-780x516.jpg 780w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/kalpa-585x388.jpg 585w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/kalpa-263x175.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Other than the <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/kinnaur-valley\/\">Kinnaur<\/a><\/strong> Kailash massif and the natural beauty, Kalpa is also famous for the production of high-quality apples. The entire village is surrounded by apple orchards, pine-nut forests and the stately Deodars.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Things_to_do_in_Kalpa_Himachal\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Things to do in Kalpa Himachal<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The entire town of Kalpa is actually a sightseeing spot. No matter where you are, the view of the Kinner Kailash peaks will be right in front of your eyes. Other than that, you can also go to the Suicide Point which is actually just a view point.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Kothi is another village located about 3 km and has a temple dedicated to the goddess Chandika Devi. The temple is set against a backdrop of mountains and groves of the Deodar and is known for its unusual architectural style and fine sculpture. You can also visit another nearby village called Roghi. The Chaka Meadows is an easy trail of 3-4 kilometers that you can venture upon.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For more information on Kalpa, where to stay, what to see, what to do and Kinner Kailash Peaks, please read <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/kalpa\/\">How to Plan a Trip to Kalpa<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chitkul_to_Sangla\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Chitkul to Sangla<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">By 8 in the morning, we have had our breakfast and were all set to leave.

You can buy cigarettes at any shop, but cannot smoke in open.

If, however, you are planning a bike trip to Kalpa (or by any other mode of transport for that matter), then mentioned below are some details that can definitely be of help.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_reach_Kalpa_from_Delhi\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">How to reach Kalpa from Delhi?<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Getting to Kalpa is really very easy. The town is connected with a smooth motorable road and remains open for all 12 months; except for winter season when occasional heavy snowfall may block the road between Reckong Peo and Kalpa. Depending on your own preference, you can either drive here by your own vehicle or reach by public transport.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read: <a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/chail-himachal\/\">How to Plan a Trip to Chail<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Delhi to Kalpa by Bus<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you were wondering how to reach Kalpa from Delhi by bus, then you have three options. However, all three of these will have you change at least 2 buses because there is no direct bus from Delhi to Kalpa.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The first and probably the best choice is to board the daily bus from Delhi ISBT for Reckong Peo. At the time of writing this article, there is an ordinary direct bus available from ISBT Kashmiri Gate in Delhi at 8 PM for Reckong Peo. Two other buses are available in the morning at 6 AM and 7.15 AM. This, however, may change later so it would be best to confirm the bus timings before finalizing the plans.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">From both Delhi and Chandigarh, you can easily find an <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrtchp.com\/hrtc_info\/\">ordinary HRTC bus<\/a><\/strong> for Reckong Peo which is about 7 km from Kalpa. Once you reach Reckong Peo, you can then take another bus for Kalpa. This is the most hassle-free, easiest and quickest way to travel to Kalpa if you do not mind the ordinary buses. Delhi to Reckong Peo takes about 18 to 19 hours and Reckong Peo to Kalpa takes 20 minutes at most.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Delhi to Reckong Peo will cost you about Rs. 900 and then Rs. 15 for Peo to Kalpa. If you hire a taxi from Reckong Peo, then it will charge you about Rs. 500 for a drop to Kalpa.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Delhi to Kalpa A\/C Bus<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The second option will be to board an A\/C bus for Rampur Bushahar. There is an HRTC AC bus that leaves from Delhi ISBT at 7:20 pm every day and reached Rampur around 9 am. The ticket for this bus will cost you about Rs. 1,100 per person, including the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/online.hrtchp.com\/oprs-web\/guest\/home.do?h=1\">online booking<\/a><\/strong> charge as well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">From Rampur Bushahr, there are ordinary buses available for Reckong Peo at almost every hour. This will cost you about Rs. 200 per person. From Peo, you will then reach Kalpa by bus (Rs. 15) or a taxi (Rs. 500).<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Delhi to Kalpa Bus via Shimla<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is the most comfortable but also the costliest way to travel to Kalpa by Bus. There are several Volvo\/Scania buses available from both Delhi and Chandigarh for Shimla throughout the day. From Delhi, it will cost about Rs. 1000 per person for a Volvo Bus or Rs. 800 for an AC Bus.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Once you reach <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/how-to-plan-a-trip-to-shimla-himachal\/\">Shimla<\/a><\/strong>, you will then have to find a Bus for either Rampur or Reckong Peo. It will cost you about Rs. 300 per person for Rampur and Rs. 500 for Reckong Peo. These buses will be available from the Tutikandi bus stand of Shimla.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read: <a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/taxi-rates-in-shimla\/\">Taxi Rates in Shimla<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are several buses available between Shimla and Rampur and it will not be difficult at all. At most, you may have to wait an hour for the next available bus. From Rampur, you can then board another Bus for Peo which will cost about Rs. 200 per person.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For Reckong Peo as well, there are a few buses available in the first half of the day. There is one that leaves Shimla at 9 AM and another at 9.30 AM. These buses can, in fact, be <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/online.hrtchp.com\/oprs-web\/guest\/home.do?h=1\">booked online<\/a><\/strong> as well.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Delhi to Kalpa Bus Fare<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Depending on the type of bus you chose, a journey from Delhi to Kalpa by Bus will cost you between Rs. 1000 to Rs. 1500 per person.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_reach_Kalpa_from_Delhi_by_Train\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">How to reach Kalpa from Delhi by Train<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Traveling from Delhi to Kalpa by train is really more a hassle than a convenience. I will really recommend choosing the bus as an option over it but if you would like to go by train, then he nearest train station is at Shimla; connected to Kalka by the famous <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/kalka-to-shimla-toy-train\/\">Kalka \u2013 Shimla toy train<\/a><\/strong>.

The nearest airport to Kalpa is the Shimla airport located in Jubbarhatti. After Shimla, the next nearest airport is the Bhuntar airport between Chandigarh and <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/manali-travel-guide\/\">Manali<\/a><\/strong>. These are however small airports and flights to both these places are limited. The nearest major airport is at Chandigarh which is connected with several flights from all over the country.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bike_Trip_to_Kalpa\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Bike Trip to Kalpa<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you were traveling from Delhi to Kalpa by road on a motorcycle, then mentioned below is the route you will follow.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Delhi &#8211; Sonipat &#8211; Karnal &#8211; Kurukshetra &#8211; Ambala &#8211; Kalka &#8211; Shimla &#8211; Narkanda &#8211; Rampur &#8211; Reckong Peo &#8211; Kalpa<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There can be several other alterations to this route but the one I mentioned above is possibly the quickest way for a bike trip to Kalpa.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Delhi to Kalpa Route Map<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you would like to get a map of the above mentioned Delhi to Kalpa route, then please follow this link <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/lahaul-spiti-road-map-distances\/\">Delhi to Kalpa road map<\/a><\/strong>.

The journey will take you at least 20-25 hours if you traveled non-stop. Ideally, it is a 2 days journey with a night halt at either <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/chail-himachal\/\">Chail<\/a><\/strong>, Shimla or <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/narkanda\/\">Narkanda<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Road_condition_from_Delhi_to_Kalpa\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Road condition from Delhi to Kalpa<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The condition of the road is a mix of good, average and bad.
