I started my journey from Delhi and arrived in Pangi Valley via Sach Pass. After spending a day in Killar, I moved on to Lahaul Valley and then to Spiti. After sightseeing around Kaza for 2 days, I visited Pin Valley and then returned home via Kinnaur Valley, traveling from Nako to Kalpa to Chitkul to Sarahan to Delhi.

The distance between both places is not that great. The total travel time from Nako to Kalpa, even if you take plenty of breaks, is no more than 4 to 5 hours. I have been riding for long hours almost every day for the last 10 days. So a short ride was definitely a much-needed relief.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_83 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Quick Navigation<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-6a156067f2fcf\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999999;color:#999999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999999;color:#999999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-6a156067f2fcf\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/nako-to-kalpa-to-chitkul-to-sarahan-to-delhi\/#Day_12_%E2%80%93_Nako_to_Kalpa\" >Day 12 &#8211;

However, Nako is actually a part of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/kinnaur-valley\/\">Kinnaur Valley<\/a><\/strong>. The area around Pooh, Khab, and Nako is considered as upper Kinnaur whereas the area around Kalpa, Sarahan, and Chitkul is lower Kinnaur.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There is just one road that runs between both places and that is the only route you can take. From Nako, I drove down the hairpin bends known as Kazigs and arrived at Khab. After Khab, the next destination was Pooh. There isn&#8217;t anything between these two places and even the landscape is not that pretty so I rode at a stretch.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/nako-to-kalpa-1.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-26933 size-full\" title=\"nako to kalpa\" src=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/nako-to-kalpa-1.jpg\" alt=\"nako to kalpa\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/nako-to-kalpa-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/nako-to-kalpa-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/nako-to-kalpa-1-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/nako-to-kalpa-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/nako-to-kalpa-1-585x439.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As I moved from Pooh to Kalpa, greenery started to appear.

Sarahan to Delhi<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I thought to start a little early from <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/best-time-to-visit-sarahan\/\">Sarahan<\/a><\/strong> but could only start by 10 am. Until Kumarsain the route was sunny with occasional, dark clouds over the horizon. As soon as I got close to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/tourist-places-in-narkanda\/\">Narkanda<\/a><\/strong>, it became pitch dark and the clouds descended on the road.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I foresaw a very strong likelihood of rain. It was a sign to stop and that I did to take shelter in a chai shop before it would rain cats and dogs, which it did for nearly one and a half hours. I stayed at the chai shop all this time and treated myself to several cups of tea while my Black beauty kept on drenching on the pouring rain! I could do little; there was no shelter on the side of the road.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Finally, after an hour and a half later the rain started to slow down a little but didn&#8217;t stop. The lady who I think wanted me gone from the shop told me that it had been drizzling\/raining since yesterday and there is no chance it will stop completely. Oh well! I took the hint and moved out in the drizzle.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The road ahead was was full of clouds\/mist, making it difficult to ride at a pace. Just before the main Narkanda market, it began to rain heavily, so much that I was practically blind. I somehow made it to my usual pit stop at Narkanda for many years now, Negi Himalayan Dhaba. It was jam-packed with the afternoon lunch crowd but somehow I got a table at the deep end.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I ordered hot chocolate to ward off the cold and afterward a regular veg thali. I got out of there when the rain stopped completely, after an hour.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/narkanda\/\">How to Plan a Trip to Narkanda<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Trip_Ends\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Trip Ends<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">From Narkanda, it was a torturous ride to Shimla.

It took me a good 3 hours to reach Shimla and I again had to cross the town, which I love and abhor at the same time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After crossing Shimla, the next pit stop was at Kandaghat and the sun was starting to go down.

It was 8 pm. I planned to go till the Chandigarh bypass at least, before deciding on anything.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was 9:30 when I reached the Chandigarh bypass, battling crazy traffic, under construction highway, and high beam headlights! I stopped at a dhaba on the way towards Ambala. To go or to stay was now the dilemma and the big question.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After half an hour of deliberation, I decided I would ride till Delhi without a stop. Off I went and it was one of the most satisfying night rides I ever did. The traffic was super smooth and I was at Mukarba Chowk flyover by 1 am. This was my best <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/places-to-visit-in-chandigarh-things-to-do\/\">Chandigarh<\/a><\/strong> &#8211; Delhi timing! It took me another 20 minutes to reach home courtesy of the newly built flyovers over the Rohini &#8211; Janakpuri stretch and I was in my bed by 2 am.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Thus ended my sojourn.
