    We leave for Shoja. Shoja is still an undiscovered and beautiful part of Himachal Pradesh and is located in the Seraj Valley.

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.
