Sangla and Chitkul
In the last week of April 2021, I was travelling in Himachal. I think it was a delayed winter for the higher altitudes. It was quite cold above 2000 mt from sea level, and every alternate day there would be snowfall. From Rampur, I travelled to Sangla and then to Chitkul. Once I left the badly maintained highway, the road became even worse; Just so that I won't miss my Maharashtra roads. Some landslides here and there, and I did escape falling boulders a couple of times. One of the boulder was bigger than my car, and it just jumped in front of me and thankfully disappeared in the 5000 feet valley below. I have video somewhere, shot from my dashcam. As I reached Sangla, I found the village closed down due to some local issue. The winds of corona - the Chinese Virus were getting stronger in the country, but thankfully there was nothing much up in the mountains. In reality, I was in one of the safest place. Undoubtedly that region is one of the most beautiful places in the country! I did have some lovely time there, composed some music, drove around a lot, and played lots of fluteā¦ Here are some pictures clicked around the village of Sangla, Some on the way to Chitkul. In any case, no photograph will ever come to close to the reality!
