    We leave for Shoja. Shoja is still an undiscovered and beautiful part of Himachal Pradesh and is located in the Seraj Valley. Shoja is characterized by thickly wooded mountainside with unending slopes of emerald forests and is densely populated with conifers.

  4. Day 4 Shoja - Sangla (2780m/9121 ft; 198 km; 8 - 9 hrs)

    We leave for Sangla today. If a landscape had the powers of casting spells, then the Sangla valley would be an extraordinary magician. Once seen, it is a place that can never be forgotten. Even the rushing waters of the Baspa river, that flow through its 95 km length, seem to absorb some of the magic and slow down to savour its snow-frame beauty. We visit the Bhimkali Temple at Sarahan enroute. By evening, we reach Sangla. Dinner & overnight stay in a Deluxe Tented campsite in Sangla.
