Kalpa at 2,960 m has one of Himachal's most dramatic views — the Kinnaur Kailash range fills the entire opposite valley. 10 km climb above Reckong Peo, wooden houses, apple orchards, and Suicide Point.
One-way fares from major cities. Round trip is roughly 1.8× the one-way price (driver's return day built in). All fares include tolls, parking & driver allowance.
