Kinnaur, the land of fairy tales and fantasies, has a spectacular terrain of lush green valleys, orchards, vineyards snow-clad peaks and cold desert mountains. Kinnaur is also rich in flora & fauna and its culture and language is different from other parts of the state. It is about 250 km away from Shimla and is situated on the national Highway No. 22 (Hindustan Tibet Road).
The landscape of the area varies from the lush green orchards of the scenic Sangla Valley to the stark magnificence of the Hangrang valley. The massive snow clad ranges that provide a regal dignity to the scene are dominated by the peak of Kinner Kailash.
Kinnaur was forbidden to trekkers till a few years ago consequently these trails have been less used and over explored last about two centuries ago.
