Kinner Camp Sangla

A valley of breathtaking beauty located at a height of 2600m, Sangla valley,is considered Kinnaur's most beautiful site with the massive Kinner Kailash peak towering over it. The slopes of this valley are covered with cedar, pine ,walnut and apricot trees, apple orchards, fields and picturesque hamlets.The Baspa river which originates in the valley flows west through it to meet the main river Satluj at Karchham. Three kilometers after entering the Sangla Valley stands the tower - like fort of Kamru - a silent sentinel which has stood through the centuries. Kamru rises five storey high and the main gate has a image of Buddha, whose blessings must be sought before entering the village confines.The Kamru fort, which is now the Goddess Kamakhyas Temple, is a glorious example of how local craftsman using local materials created a highly evolved style of traditional architecture. Sangla Valley is adorned with the beautiful villages of Chitkul, Batseri, Kamru, Raksham and Chasang. The village houses are an epitome of wooden craftsmanship.The religion of the people is a remarkable mix of Hinduism and Buddhism. Honest, simple, pastoral folk, the villagers always extend a hearty welcome to tourists and visitors.

Kinner Camp Nako

Nako is a important centre of Buddhism. There are at least seven temples of different periods distributed all over the village, including a monastic complex on its western edge. Boasting four temples and a number of additional buildings , this complex preserves the earliest artistic heritage. The austere and unornamental exteriors of the buildings give little hint of the important artistic and religious legacy that lies within its walls.The monastery of Nako with murals dating back to the 11th century, is one of the most important repositories of the ancient tradition of painting in India.The dukhang or prayer hall of the monastry has a Vairocana shrine, in keeping with the monasteries associated with Rinchen Zangpo. For the trekking enthusiasts, this is the base for the trek to the Reo-Purgyal peak and is en route to the Tashigang, Somang and other monastries.
